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 Sandisk 64MB Memory Stick, 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.

... by simply formatting the stick IN your digital camera. It will function perfectly, and no images will be lost.

Upon purchasing my Sony F-707 Digital Camera, I decided to also pick up an additional memory stick. Because the Sony brand sticks were much more expensive, I settled for this SanDisk. I was very pleased with the new stick technology while using the 16MB memory stick that was supplied with the camera. When I opened up the SanDisk one and put it in the camera, I was blown away by how many more pictures could be stored on it, however, after a while I realized it was not storing all of the pictures I had been taking. It kept doing this, so I put the Sony stick back in. I recommend purchasing a Sony one right off the bat, because valuable photos can be lost. I just bought a Sony 128MB memory stick, and I am extremely pleased.
