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...

How Much Can A 8GB Hold On A Camera ?
Laura
I Have A Samsung TL105 And I'm Going On A Road Trip And I Want To Know How Much It Holds To See If I Will Need Another Memory Card .
Answer
Seeing that your camera is a 12.4 megapixel camera. I used an online calculator that shows how many pictures a 8GB memory card will hold at that resolution. It can be found here:
http://www.takems.com/memcalc.php
The website said it will hold approximately 3413 pictures at 12 megapixels and the quality of images that fits your camera. So if you are taking pictures at your camera's highest quality, you can probably hold close to 3,500 photos. An 8GB card will definitely be enough.
P.S. In regards to the other answers, An 8 megapixel webcam couldnt even hold 8,000 photos on a 8GB memory card. Also, you will get plenty more than 1,072 pictures. I have a very high quality DSLR camera and it gets at least 1400 pictures on an 8 GB memory card. You can trust my answer.
Have fun! You have many pictures to take!
