A genuine Canon SDC card
So I presume this is one of the earlier digital camera models that came with no internal memory and had to be supplied with an SD card to get the user started. I believe this storage size is still used in some games consoles, such as the Nintendo WII and Game Cube. And by the looks of things on eBay, still very sought after. Anyway, back to SD cards and cameras.
How many pictures can a 16MB SD card hold
That is solely dependant on the size and quality of the image. If you put a 16MB card into a camera that's shooting at say 5 mega pixels, it can hold just a few images. Shooting at 10 mega pixels (where each image is roughly around 4.5 megabytes @ high quality), even less. But if a person changes the settings of their camera so that it is taking pictures at 1 mega pixel (1024x768 @ roughly just under 500KB per photo) at super fine quality, they can safely get around 20 - 25 images.
Lower the image quality settings of the camera and you can add a few more photos to the total amount. It should be noted, that the amount of usable space on a 16 megabyte card is around 14MB, so 20 - 25 images @ 1 mega pixel each is a low but safe estimate.
