Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f2.8D

Can someone tell me how large a 3 megapixel JPG (in fine mode) file is? The Sony DSC-S75 camera only comes with an 8mb memory stick and I need to know about how many images that will hold...

Thanks!

Jm I can give an example for a 3.2mp nikon with 16 mb card
3:2 fine = 11
fine = 10
uxga = 16
sxga = 25
xga = 38
vga = 87
You can expect 5 with your highest quality setting. Maybe 6
I ALWAYS use highest quality setting. Hope this helps.

David,

Thanks for the info... my girlfriend got the DSC-S75 tonite and we didn't buy an extra memory stick just yet....

I always use the highest quality setting on my DSC-F707 as well and the JPG files I get there are anywhere between 1.8 and 2.5mb... I don't play with the TIFF mode too often... those are 17mb each...

Thanks for the info!

17mb..... I'm glad I set it on JPG. When are they coming out with a 256MB memory stick?

I don't know... I wish they would tho.. I have two 128mb sticks and that gives me between 100 and 120 photos... The 128mb sticks are $89 normally... They aren't as cheap as the compact flash cards. That's the only tradeoff i have found so far with the sony cameras. I'm still happy with the sony tho... (not knockin' anyone else's camera)... There are a LOT of great cameras on the market now...

I'm using an Olympus C-3030. I take all my pictures in HQ (High Quality) and I get some very nice shots. The 3mp images come out to about 700kb. I have a SHQ (Super High Quality) and these images came out about between 1.5MB to 2.0MB.

Hope this helps.
