How many picture can you store on a 4GB memory card?

Answer 1

Well it really depends on the picture quality you have set on because the better the picture quality the more space it takes up

Mpx = Megapixels

9000 photos for 2 Mpx

7200 photos for 3 Mpx

6000 photos for 4 Mpx

4600 photos for 5 Mpx

3800 photos for 6 Mpx

3200 photos for 7 Mpx

2400 photos for 8 Mpx

1600 photos for 10 Mpx

1000 photos for 12 Mpx

Answer 2

The capacity of a card indicates the maximum amount of data that can be stored (less some space for the card's own use).

Megapixel (MP) count refers to the maximum resolution of the camera's sensor -- its ability to record detail. The number of images that can be recorded on a card of a given size is only indirectly related to the capacity of the card, which is measured in Kilobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB), not MP. That will vary according to the image itself, and to the camera's settings.

For example: My Pentax K10D, with a 10.1 MP sensor and using a 4 GB card, will record approximately 821 images at the highest resolution (10 MP) and a "Fine" setting. The same camera, with the same sensor and same card, will record 10,000-plus images at the lowest resolution (2 MP) and the "Low" setting. Practically all cameras have this ability to change the resolution settings, and thus the sizes of the image files that are stored on the card.

So, you can see that it is only possible to answer your question in very general terms: The higher the capacity of the card, the more images you can store at whatever camera settings. And, as you can see above, even at the highest settings with a high MP count, you can take a lot of pictures!

One thing to think about: storage cards can and do fail. It is better to have two 1 GB cards than one 2 GB card, unless you plan to shoot a whole lot of video. That way if one fails, you can keep shooting and worry about retrieving the images off the other card later.

Answer 3

A 4 M pixel camera with moderate jpeg compression will make images in the 0.8 Mb range.

Ten thousand 2 Mb images fit into 8Gb

With no compression and a color bit depth of 24 you can expect 2Mb per image and so four thousand images

Answer 4

Assuming you mean a four gigabyte memory card, the answer depends on a couple of different variables, such as how many megapixels your camera resolution is, whether you're shooting in jpeg or a raw format, and what size image you're storing.

A four gig card can hold hundreds of images, sometimes 500 or more, sometimes fewer than 200, depending on the size of each image file. Jpegs take up less space than raw format, but they give you less flexibility if you edit them on the computer. Your camera can obviously also hold more small images than large images, but that affects the size of the print you can make.

Answer 5

It varies by make and model of camera. The biggest factor is megapixels. On a Pentax Optio S10 10 megapixel camera it holds about 1100+ pictures. I also have a few videos on my card.

Answer 6

It depends on the image size of the photo you save. Also less mega pixels equal more photos.
