Camera
I got a Canon PowerShot A510 Digital Camera
3.2mega pixels
4X optical zoom
It came with a MultiaMediaCard MMc-16m
^ what is that? how much does that hold??
How many pictures about??
I also cannot figure out how to get the pictures off of the camera on to the computer. I got some of them onto my computer, but they also stayed on the camera. I can't go and ask the store these questions because I got the camera as a gift when my parents got their new car.
If you need any more info to help, just ask, and I'll try to figure it out for you!!
Thank you So Much!!

It's a 16 Megabyte card.
Did this camera come with a user manual?
Everything you need to know about how to use it is
in there. If you don't have the manual you can get
a copy at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I would recommend you download the software (or install
it if you have it on cd) and change the settings
so that when you download the pictures it auto-clears
the card.
I would also recommend getting a 128Megabyte or larger
card since you'll only get about 10 photos on that
16M card at max resolution.

Odds are, it's a sixteen meg card, which is the standard low-end of the scale. You can easily buy a 256 meg card for a lot less than a year or two ago. Heh, the 128 card I bought for my camera two years ago is dirt cheap now.
How many pictures is not set in stone. Most cameras have the ability to do a few settings below their maximum resolution (max megapixel, whatever). In addition, crisper pictures typically will take up a little bit more on the camera. Even among uncompressed files on the camera (card), there will be slight variations in file size.
Of course, that didn't answer your question. I'm still using my old two megapixel camera, and the average filesize of max settings pictures is half a meg. Hence why I'm glad I got a bigger memory card. I just snap away without really worrying about running out of space.
Once you get the pictures off your camera, there's two ways to get rid of them. Either use the format option on the camera (It's got to be around there somewhere. I've had my card's file structure get corrupted once, and had to do it anyway. Nowadays I just format when I fill the card, but after I upload them of course.)
Second way is to simply delete them. Of course, I never bothered using software that came with my camera. I just go into Windows Explorer, and my camera will show up as a removable drive. I've always straight copy/pasted my pictures. Thus when I fill the card, I could just select all the pictures and delete them.
