10 mp divided by 2 coz its a .jpg file is ruffly 5mb an image depending on iso settings and colors visible on the screen. optical zoom wont effect file size
you should never use digital zoom tho
that just crops down on your CCD
so any way
you should get about 200 images on a 1gb card
Hmm not always true.
It depends what quality you chose in your settings.
My Nikon D40 set to normal takes picture of 6MP for 1.3 MB, no digital zooms ISO200.
Do note that what you're shooting has a MASSIVE impact on the file size -- firing off a couple shots for some numbers, just the amount of lighting available can mean the difference between 650K and 3MB (Canon 5D) in JPEG mode and 8MB vs 13MB in RAW. Naturally the point and shoot wont have raw capabilityMy Nikon D40 set to normal takes picture of 6MP for 1.3 MB, no digital zooms ISO200.
