5.0 out of 5 stars How many pictures will it store?, November 5, 2004

This review is from: Lexar Media XD512-231 512 MB xD Type MPicture Card (Retail Package) (Personal Computers)

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Lexar Media 512MB xD-Picture Cards XD512-231, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

I took advantage of the more space, for my 2005 family reunion. I had made over 248 items of pictures and videos. It is known that xD picture card has the highest capacity in one of the smallest formats,(...) It also the fastest data transfer speeds out there. Very compact, so very compact that it's very easy to lose! but the plus is that it comes with the a free 32MB xD picture card. [...]
