I was taking pictures with my camera this morning and after I got past 10 photos it said the memory card was out of memory. Shouldn't it store more than that?

I think so. My card (4GB) holds about 300 RAW shots and about 700 JPEG's. Ten shots sounds a little on the low side even for a small card. You might want to format that card... but, of course you will want to save those ten before you do.

OK, yea, I think you got a problem. My uneducated guess would be that about 80% of your card is corrupt (i.e. bad). Perhaps Santa brought you another card?? (he knows all, heck... he even spies on you when you are sleeping)

Sounds like it is set for the internal memory to me. Same thing happened when I first got my camera. I ran out and got the memory card and changed the settings. Then every time I take the card out a menu pops up telling me my memory is full.

I would double check and make sure you are set up to use the memory card and not on internal memory

Sounds to me like you may need to adjust the picture size/resolution in your camera. On the smallest size (with great quality) in my Canon, I can save more than 600 shots on a 2 gig SD chip. However, on the highest resolution I get about 200. HTH.
