xd card
Written by Ms. Confuse on Friday, July 18, 2008how many photos can a xd picture card? This is a very common beginners mistake because you get trapped into the worry of carrying extra cards. You should be able to buy cards pretty cheaply. If you don't want to carry a lot of cards, get two or three that are 2 gigabyte (2 GB) or 4 GB. If you change your settings to get more pictures on the card, what you are doing is LOWERING the QUALITY and SIZE of each picture. A photo at a certain size will have a particular number of pixels in it. That will take up a certain amount of space on the card. The only way to put more pictures on the card is the make the files smaller, and thus lower quality (fewer pixels). Pixels are the data the card holds. When you take a photo, you ALWAYS want to take it at the highest/best setting on your camera: it may give you choices like Small Medium and Large and/or Low Good Fine SuperFine. If you have both types of settings available, always choose the Large file and the SuperFine setting.
The reason you want to do this is when you download and process your pictures, if they are all small files/low quality they won't look very good. You won't be able to get them printed very big if you choose to print them, and they will be blurry or fuzzy.
You can always make a big/high resolution (high quality) photo smaller, but you can't make a small, low resolution photo bigger.
You can get little "card wallets" from almost any camera store in which to store your cards and carry them with you. They will fit nicely in a purse or pocket, or in a camera case if you have one.
Believe me, you will be a lot happier with your photos if you don't make the mistake of trying to cram as many images as possible on a card.
