Firstly, congratulations on considering a camera which has got a decent optical zoom (10x). Lots of people spend money buying cameras which have got a large number of megapixels (which you don't need) rather than on looking for a decent zoom lens. You won't ever need to set your camera at the highest quality setting (unless you want enlargements bigger than A4), so I've quoted these figures from the handbook of my 3 megapixel camera. They are all for a 16Mb card (so scale up, roughly pro rata, for larger cards). There are 3 figures for each image size. These represent the number of pictures for fine, standard and economy quality settings respectively:
2048 x 1764: 9, 17, 32
1600 x 1200: 14, 27, 47
1280 x 960: 22, 39. 69
640 x 480: 69, 100, 150

Hoping this helps,

Chris

I have a Fuji s5000 camera - I have 4 128MB xd cards (bear in mind that when I bought these, it was over a year ago and I don't think they manufactured 512MB ones then - or if they did they were expensive)


I wanted to have plenty of 'film' available, but also wanted it spread, so that if I lost one on holiday, I could still use the camera.


From my camera - just reformatted the card:


at 6Megapixels (3 MP interpolated) - it will take 86 pictures


at 3MP - 162 Frames


at 2 MP - 204 Frames


at 1Mp 275 frames


On Video - 3Mins 39 seconds
