Megapixels with their (estimated) size in Megabytes
Wondering on how many images your memory card can hold using that X-mp'ed digital camera of yours? I too wondered not long ago, good thing i found an online megapixel calculator and i would like to share it with you people.
Below is the list of the common megapixel sizes of the cameras in the market today. I believe that these images are using normal/ default image quality settings.
When set to maximum quality the file size increases, to get the file size when set to max quality multiply the file sizes above by around 1.25-1.50 to get the ESTIMATED file size of the corresponding megapixel.
I hope this helps ^__^
