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 PNY 64MB CompactFlash Flash Memory Card, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 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 card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

These cards were a relief to find, my camera uses them for storage and for transfer to my computer for final processing and I needed some more. The price was right. I was glad to find them, they have already faded out of all of the local outlets in favor of larger capacity units. I do only stills and have no need of the gargantuan capacity. And no matter how large a card is, when it fails it fails, whether you've got $10 dollars in it of $100. Which would you rather lose? I haven't had or used them long enough to rate their quality, but being digital, I think that would be rated in failure rate and not image quality? They appear to function as expected.
