I was thinking, if computers 'think' in 0's and 1's then how many 0's and 1's does it take to describe one pixel? And how many pixels can be stored on those tiny little 32g SDHC cards !?! It's pretty amazing I thinks.

24-bit RGB is 3 bytes per pixel so a 32 GB card would hold ~11,453,246,122 pixels.
