Should you images be larger or you are away from a PC for a longer time I see no reason why a larger capacity card could not be used and the required files moved to it so that you could capture an even larger number if required. So this leaves you around 425MB of space for photographs, using my rough figure that means you can save around 850 photographs to the supplied card before it becomes totally full. The stuff on the card, documentation in six languages and the utility to allow you to scan direct to your PC take around 60MB.
As a ball park figure a range of 6x4inch (15x10cm) photographs averaged out at around 500KB each so say two to a Megabyte.
The size of the files will of course vary according to the size of the picture and indeed the content of it. I scanned a number of photographs that I had taken more than a few years ago that had become separated (misplaced) from the negatives so the possibilities of getting copies from the negatives was not an option for me. There is some software on the provided (512MB) SD card to allow you to scan direct to the PC and while this works the whole beauty of this small unit is that you can visit granny or auntie and browse her photographs and add them to your collection without the original having to leave her front room. By default if you connect the USB cable to a PC it will see it as a USB SD card.
