Hello,

Configuration: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) / Safari 5.1.7 What does 256mb correspond to? Is it larger than 2 gig? How many photos can you take with a 256mb card? Thank you.

    Hello,

    As you may have understood from GrandCaribou's response, 1 GB (gigabyte) = 1000 MB (megabytes in English). You can therefore compare the capacities.

    For the other question, the number of photos depends on their size, depending on the resolution you want. Depending on the device, you can choose standard or high quality. Digital photos are either compressed (JPEG format) or in RAW format (DSLR cameras). They typically range from about 200 kilobytes to 16 MB or more, depending on the camera's sensor.

    Depending on the lighting, photos will have different sizes (in MB).

    Let's say that with a 256 MB card, you can take between 200 and 300 photos.

    Best regards

      It depends on the device; a 256MB card should indeed allow you to take around 200 photos with a 5MP camera, but with a 16MP, it’s more like 30-40 photos...
      In summary, it's really small; the current standard is at least 4GB.
      With 2GB, you'll be much more comfortable.

      Hi
      Regarding a car radio, do you think that 256 MB is a little?
