Thinking of purchasing a memory card for your digital camera? Here is a helpful chart to help you determine what size you need.

Compact Flash, xD card, SD card, etc.) makes no difference in the number of images that will fit:

Most people find that fitting 250 - 500 images on a card is a good number. That's the equivalent of 10 to 20 rolls of film! Remember though, you tend to take a lot more photos with digital than with film, and if you are recording video clips with your digital camera, you will need more space on your card.
