I have a canon camera with 16.0 mega pixels. I am using a 8GB SDHC card. How many pictures will it hold?

It depends on the size of your pictures or videos per the quality you select. This was purchased for a Trail cam that takes up to a 8gb card and it took about 250 pics and still had about 80% left space with hi resolution HD pics.

An indefinite number. I have a 16 gig card. I suggest you get a big card. Worth the money. I love this camera!!

I had a 2 GB available and have never needed more. If you keep all photos on the camera without ever deleting any, use a bigger one.

With the 20d cameras can only store up to a total of 8GB's . So if you get a card with larger capacity it stops at about 8GB. There is a firmware update through canon which will enable a larger capacity. Go to the canon website and request a link for the firmware update.

I agree with the answer below. I have used a SD 2 gb, but if you are going somewhere where you might see great things all day, visiting a national park or a foreign city, then 4-8. I have some items which I photograph almost daily, and then empty the card. In that case, a small one works well enough.

I'm not sure about the memory limits, but I wouldn't shoot with a card much larger than 8 gigs anyway. Even a 4-gig card can hold plenty of pictures, but memory cards fail, become corrupted, and sometimes they may even break. I say you're better off getting several smaller memory cards, simply because the thought of losing all those pictures on a full (or nearly full) 32-gig or 16-gig card sounds like a nightmare. Additionally, having less space will force you to back up your pictures. It may even encourage you to delete the pictures you know came out obviously bad while you're in the field, which can help you conserve space. I suggest picking up a portable hard drive for when you need to travel and back up your pictures on the fly. They make models that fit into your pocket, and they will automatically copy the pictures you've taken directly from your memory cards. You don't need a computer or laptop to use them, and they can hold 200 gigs or more. Hope this helps!

I've used up to 16 GB Sandisk SD card. That will get you around 4,000 high quality photos.

I had the same question at the same time! Just found the answer here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=18183#SupportDetailAct and search for "largest" - it is the first answer in the list that comes up. For SDHC, it says: Secure Digital High Capacity currently supports capacities up to 32 GB.

I used the SanDisk SDHC Card, 16 GB and it works fine. It has plenty of space and the batteries die out before the card is full.

It depends on your camera settings and which SD card you are using.. 4GB, 8GB etc,... I guess with 8GB card, at 16MP setting, you can at least take 1500 - 1700 pics.. in one go with full battery charged, at least 200 pictures...

I have a couple 8Gb and 4 Gb cards I use with the camera... take all my pictures in RAW+JPG format... should be enough for a day's worth of shooting...

I have a 16GB card i bought from Amazon in there - i use the SanDisk mini-SD card and i also got the adapter so that i can put it into a card reader and pull out the photos. You can also just pull the photos directly from the camera, of course, too. I love this camera! Definitely buy it! The Live Panorama feature is worth the purchase alone!

Hi, I am currently using a scan disk ultra 2 GB, I currently have 71 pictures on it and the one I had before that I filled I believe had around 100 or so. This size is big enough for me as I download when full onto my computer which then clears the disk for more. but if you are going to try to use it to also include the video's which I have not done I am sure it will reduce the capacity of the disk vs. just photos. Hope this helps and wish you good luck with your camera, I love mine and hope you find it a great camera also.

I have a 16 GB SDHC card in mine, and have never come CLOSE to filling it! Hope this helps!

This depends on the size of the memory card you use, and the size of the pictures. Our camera, using a 2 G card, and taking the largest pics, will hold 125 pics. The camera has a lot of memory in addition to the card, allowing more pics if you need them. Hope this helps.
