That said, I'd recommend 256 MB, and buy whatever brand is cheapest at
the moment. (A quick check at pricescan shows 256MB cards from Simple
and from SanDisk in the $45-$50 range - I've used both brands and had
no problem). I'm guessing you could fit well over 200
medium-resolution jpegs on one of those. If you want to be sure,
though, see how many pix you can fit on the card at max resolution,
and at a reasonable resolution, and then just do the math.


The trouble with that is that "the math" doesn't really work.

But the math would work to the extent that if you get about a dozen
shots from 10MB, you'd expect a 32MB card to hold about three dozen
similar shots (portraits, ldscp, interior), right?


Duh!

Sorry, I didn't read what you wrote properly. When you said "see how
many pix you can fit...", I didn't read that as "take as many as will
fit" (which is obviously what you intended), I read it as "calculate
how many will fit".

You are, of course, quite correct.
