    ok verify it out guy. i desire its a sparkling digicam that got here with a unfastened 128MB card. it relatively is why: Cameras and all varieties of electronics placed a shrink on the biggest length card perfect for it. in the adventure that your digicam is older than perhaps it doesnot settle for memory enjoying cards large than. . . oh i dont understand. . . (in step with how previous). . . 512MBs. extra moderen cameras in many situations like 8gigs or much less. supply this international 5 extra years and there will be a sixteen or 32GB card in each and every element and shoot digicam. besides thats no longer significant suitable now. the element is you would be able to desire to confirm in the adventure that your digicam would know a a million-2 gigabite memory card previously you get one. the respond on your question: a 1Gig (1GB) card will carry bout 8 situations extra effective than your 128MB card. And a 2GB will carry approximately two times as lots by using fact the 1GB. what number image will they carry: nicely it relies upon on the dimensions of the jpeg image your digicam takes. this would selection from 1MB to mmmhh probable 6MBs. So yah think of of this. one GB = a pair of million,000 MBs. the bigger the cardboard the extra use you will get out of it. it relatively is why I say that: the cardboard comes with a motive force taking on area on the cardboard (a motive force is a application that helps one hardware to speak to a diverse ie your pc on your memory card). which will take in x volume of area in case you get a 512MB card or a 2GB card (assuming its the comparable application). Ltes say thye application is 20MB. . . on a 128MB card 20MB is like 10 or 20 % of the totaly area. On a 2GB card its no longer something. . . its a fragment of a %. besides the ingredient of all it relatively is: decide in the adventure that your digicam will settle for a bigger memory card and if it does then circulate purchase one. i offered a 2BG memory card for 12 funds (that became on the main up-tp-date black friday).

    The results are somewhat unpredictable.

    1) It might work fine

    2) It might use 1 GB of the 2GB capacity

    3) It might say something like card not formatted or damaged.

    It won't hurt the card or the camera to try it, so if you can borrow one, try it and see.
