Do images have weight ?

Assume a digital camera has an empty SIM card of 32 gig memory.

If all of the memory is used in the form of pictures, would there be an increase in weight of the SIM card.

    Hi Eugene

    Tell him that the weight of the memory card never changes, because the SIM card already has 32 Gigabytes of free-space data, which is overwritten as-and-when pictures are downloaded onto it. You are not adding anything at all onto the memory card. You are simply changing the properties of it.

    It's not quite the answer that other people would provide, but it's certainly a new (and justified) way of looking at it!

    Your memory card does not get any heavier than a used battery gets lighter.
