If I want to shoot mostly RAW pics on a 12 MP camera, what size card should I get? And how much bigger is a RAW picture compared to a JPEG?
Answer
I don't know who gave the thumbs down to cedykeman1 but the suggestion of limiting your card size is a wise one (regardless of how "robust" they make them, Crim Liar).
A 4Gig card can hold a plethora of images, raw or otherwise and, in the "unlikely" event (like that's never happened,... NOT - it's happened to me and my also Pro Sister) that the card takes a crap (fortunately there is recovery software available but imagine the panic...).
Consider the options... if you have more cards... if one takes a crap, you have others.
Not so with a single 16Terabit Super-duper Carry it All Mega Card.
If that takes a dump... so do you.
I like the options of backup (the reason we carry two cameras?... two batteries?... two flash units?... a dozen 4Gig cards?)...
Get the picture?

What size memory card is sufficient for a Canon Power Shot S110 camera?
Pete
What size memory card is sufficient for a Canon Power Shot S110 camera with 12 megapixels? I'm going on a trip for 2 weeks and I plan to take lots of photos and won't be able to upload them until I get home.
Best answer to whoever can help!
Thanks
The camera is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC, but I'm curious as to how much memory is sufficient, not type.
Answer
That's a very good, advanced compact camera you have there. I own it's predecessor, the S100. If you're not able to transfer your images at the end of each shooting day, I recommend you DON'T buy just one very high capacity card. It's safer to buy two (or more) smaller capacity cards instead. Imagine if you have only the one memory card and on the very last day of your holiday, the card fails...you could easily lose the entire lot.
The chances that your card will fail are very slim, but it can happen. It's never, ever happened to me but it has to others. I recommend you buy a top quality reliable brand (e.g. Sandisk Extreme). You'll want a Class 10 SDHC card for best performance and for recording Full HD video.
According to your User Guide (page 333) you'll be able to shoot plenty of images (approx. 1379 Jpeg images per 8GB) or up to 29 minutes of Full HD video. You can even shoot in RAW, but that brings the total images down to about 446 per 8GB. Some may say to get 2 or 4GB...8GB is often a much better buy. It's your call.
You can buy memory cards anywhere in the world, so you could easily buy another if you had to.
Don't forget...you will NEED to format your brand new card or cards BEFORE using the very first time...via the camera Menu. Read about it in your User Guide (page 267-268). Also make sure you format your current memory card before going away (transfer all files from it before formatting the card).
Remember to give your camera battery a full charge each night or before you start out for the day...because it only lasts about 200 shots (less if using the flash or recording movies).
p.s. something I found...your camera has Wi-Fi capability that allows you to wirelessly send files to your smartphone or tablet (if you have one). You can also send files directly to websites such as Facebook or YouTube. If you're not in range of a Wi-Fi network you can still upload to your tablet or phone using Canon's CameraWindow app. Apparantly (according to DPReview) it works well...
