onurbius, it's simple. As a photographer, assuming you use a digital camera or camcorder, you must been using flash memory cards (Smart media, compact flash, multimediacard, or a PCMCIA Type II or III flash memory card). The most popular flash cards today have the capacity ranging from 8 MB to 128 MB. (I do see a PCMCIA card with 1 GB capacity in the hands of a KODAK professional photographer in the recent SEABAL Conference exhibits). A 64MB card can hold about 350 digital photo assuming a 640x480 resolution .jpg file uses about 180 kb memory, which is the file I get using my SONY TRV900 DV camcorder. For a KODAK/Nikon Professional DCS 660 digital camera with a resolution of 3024x2008 that uses 6 megapixel CCD and costs about $15,000, the digital photo file could be as large as 18 mega bytes before compressed. Well, you know what would occur, when every digital camera has a resolution of 3000x2000 or even higher (when it becomes affordable eventually) instead of today's 640x480.
