Hello group,

My son has given me a Nikon Coolpix 4600 and I need to buy a memory card.
If someone could suggest the 'right' one that will give maximum amount of
pics for this camera I'd greatly appreciate it. It has video capabilities,
if that matters, so I think I'll need quite a large size memory card.

Thanks

Go for the card with the largest megapixel rating. It doesn't have to be from Nikon.

Megapixels?

So in the future you can assume that he is telling the truth and he does
know things.

Yes, memory cards come with a built in camera these days. ;-)

I have one suggestion, not knowing the camera or your needs well.

Two cards half the capacity of one larger card are worth more. If one
dies, you still can function, you can be downloading one while working with
the other, etc.

Very true! I should have known better! ha

Thank you again, all. I'm going to sit back now and try to learn something
about photography.
