Diddy memory card in Fuji F410

[Tafia]

I have just bought a Fuji FinePix F410 as a present for my wife and, not knowing a lot about these things, was amazed to see on reading the papers that it would only take 10 shots on the 16Mb card provided.

There is no mention of compression in the blurb that I have seen, so will it really only take 10?

240 shekels and only 10 pics at a time? I thought these things were just expensive toys. Am I right?

Thanks

Many thanks gents.

I will let my wife pay for the larger memory card and will also reduce the resolution as suggested.

Have a good Christmas.

Always shoot at the highest resolution, you can always downsize using an image manipulation programme (photoshop) but you can never put back what wasn't there in the first place. Buy another card, they are so cheap on eBay anyway. But always buy a branded one the cheap ones are cheap because they are s l o w ! Tim

E-Bay? Now why didn't I think of that. BTW my cousin has just bought the same camera and paid paid £369 for it at Argos. Mine was bought at Jessops.

I think he has the picture cradle which I don't but this is £50. A win for Jessops?

Thanks to all for the advice.
