Does anyone know how many photos will fit on a 512 MB Compact Flash card if I'm using a Canon PowerShot A95 set at the highest resolution (2592 x 1944) and superfine quality? Does it make a difference if it's a "high speed" card?

If you had looked at the A95 review on this site, you would have noticed it stated:
(2592 x 1944) Superfine 2.4 MB

This means that you have to divide 512 by 2.4 giving you the minimum photos that the card will hold.

See http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_a95-review/ for more information.

I did look at the review. But being math-impaired, I didn't make the connection re: how to figure the answer to my question...duh! :o Many thanks.
