SD Card Question? |
Camera up to 6MP 1GB = How many shots 2GB = How many shots Got a wedding & Holiday in Africa, want to know whether 1GB or even 2GB will be sufficient. Also, any tips for good photography, and minimizing the size 1GB=1400 2GB=2800 I say this because my 512MB is about 700 shots. Depends what camera you have, as well. It depends. You can usually change the quality of prints on your camera. We used a 1G for our honeymoon, took 500 pictures, and we're still using the memory card. Go with the 2gb card. You won't regret it. I have a 6mp camera, and in the high setting I can get over a thousand pictures. If you go with lower resolutions, then you can get more pictures, of course, but I don't recommend that. Use all 6 megapixels! You paid extra for the quality, so use it. You will probably want to print some pictures. Oh, and sometimes you can find a 2gb card on sale for cheaper than a 1gb card. This is the definitive answer for the Nikon Coolpix S6, since all of this information came from the owner's manual for your camera. The numbers must still be taken as estimates, because actual file sizes may vary slightly from the average, but these numbers are from Nikon and not "one size fits all." In the 6 MP High Quality Mode (2816x2112; high quality), a 1 GB card will hold approximately 340 images. In the 6 MP Normal Quality Mode (2816x2112; normal quality), a 1 GB card will hold approximately 660 images. You can use this setting to get more pictures on your card and they will still be quite acceptable for printing up to 8x10 without cropping. In the 3 MP Normal Quality Mode (2048x1536), a 1 GB card will hold approximately 1,220 images. You can use this setting to get even more pictures on your card and they will still be quite acceptable for printing up to 5x7 without cropping. In the PC Screen Mode (1024x768), a 1 GB card will hold approximately 4,180 images, but you would not be happy with prints from that mode any larger than 3x5. Be aware that your Nikon does not approve cards larger than 1 GB for the Coolpix S6. If you buy a 2 GB card, you might find that your camera can only address 1 GB of that card. (See page 90 of your owner's manual.) Shooting a wedding and holiday in Africa is what some would call a "once-in-a-lifetime" experience. Take as many 2GB cards as you can and shoot at the "maximum" resolution (2816 x 2112). You can always make the files smaller for sending attached to an email, but you cannot go the other way. Six megapixels is a great size for a point and shoot. The Nikon S6 is a nice little camera with its equivalent to 35-105mm lens. That should give you some nice landscapes while on Holiday and great portraits when using the telephoto at its max zoom setting. The built-in WiFi is a huge plus. Do NOT get tempted and use the digital zoom. You are better off using your photo program to crop the photo after you shoot it. Have fun.
