Do digital cameras ever run out of pictures taken?
Posted on Oct 10, 2009 under Digital news and reports |I have a digital camera that is at 949 pictures taken - [not staying on it, of course.] But apparently I have taken 949 different pictures since having it. I was wondering, do digital cameras have a limit of pictures taken? Like, once I hit 1000, will I have to get a new camera?

Nope, as long as the memory card is not full.

…….
Wow.

no as long as there is free memory space you should be able to take pics.

Nah, as long as you delete the data they have, they won’t take up that space.
Maybe, just MAYBE, if you take several million-million-million pictures, the tiny amount of data will build up substantially, but even that would take a few eternities to happen.
Don’t worry about it.

I suspect you are not deleting the old ones. The camera has a memory that apparently can hold a large number of pictures, but it is not infinite. So figure out how to delete the old ones.

Depends how much memory it can store. I think if you have like a memory card then it doesn’t matter. It probably says somewhere in the directions.

it depends on how big your memory card or hard drive is. the bigger the size, the more pictures you can take. and once the memory card or hard drive fills up, you will have to either delete them or put them onto your computer or another hard drive or memory card

no, you would probably just have to get rid of some that are on your memory card when your memory gets full, but i doubt they have a limit to how many pix you can take..that would be lame..and they would have to include that information in the owners manual too..

Sooner or later it will say "card full" and you’ll have to upload them to the computer. And you can shoot another 950, upload them again and shoot again.
The card fills up and you empty it. You don’t buy a new card, just unload it when it’s full. Kinda like a roll of film.

Yes they do… when the battery goes dead you have to buy a new one.
DUH.

well the space is defined by the memory card you are using !!!! Once that gets full, you need to delete images or get a new card.

I think you are asking "is there a limit to the numbering system for a digital camera".
In other words, you take pictures (_0001.jpg to _0050.jpg), transfer them to your computer, delete them off the memory card or stick, or whatever the pictures were captured to.
Then you put the memory back in the camera, start taking more pictures, plenty of memory because you deleted pictures, or formatted your memory card or stick. Your camera remembers and starts numbering at picture number 51 and so on.
Some day in the future you get to picture number _9999.jpg. If your camera cannot make a number greater, say _10000.jpg, either the camera will reset itself, or you would have to get into the camera settings and do a reset of the camera, or your camera will just make another folder and start numbering at 0001.jpg in that folder.

remarkable string of answers apparently everyone is partying hardy tonight most digital cameras have a factory rating as to how many shots the model should hold up for they dont usually talk about that with anything but the pro series cameras anyway you should get 10s of thousands of pics from your camera you will probably buy a better camera before you wear it out

Surprised at the answers here… Ouch guys.
Besides the obvious of filling a memory card or killing a battery.. Electronics wear out. LCD screens are only rated for so many hours. Sensors start developing bad pixels. Batteries get to the point where they don’t hold a charge anymore. Memory cards are only good for a certain amount of writes.
If the camera is an SLR the shutter mechanism is only rated at so many thousand shots and then needs to be replaced..
With that said, shoot, enjoy. If you worry about the camera wearing out you’ll never get shots. Who knows, it could die tomorrow (unlikely) or in twenty years.

If you are downloading the images to your computer or other storage once taken then the only limit will be the number of times that the shutter operates.
Depending on the make and model then the camera would be tested for anything from a few thousand shutter operations through to 100,000 +.
Basically just like any other camera, it can breakdown or it can keep going for many years.
