A digital camera functions much the same way a traditional camera does. It has all the essential parts, lens cover, lens and aperture. The inside of the camera has to function a little differently to generate in image, however. A digital camera actually makes an electronic recording of the image created by light entering into the camera body. A computer chip registers the information as a series of ones and zeros--just like on a regular PC computer, for example. A digital camera can translate electronic information into pixels. Pixels are simply collections of digital squares all scrambled around. You can think of pixels like pieces of a puzzle. How clear a picture might be depends on the resolution, which refers to the degree of detail that can be found in a digital image.
Images are created by your Digital camera in a process known as analog to digital conversion. First the image enters the lens, and then is projected on to a surface that maps out the luminosity, and color values in to what is called a descreet grid. This grid is then used to map out the picture elements of your image. These picture elements are known as pixels.
The digital camera produces a digital photograph through converting conventional analog information (represented by a fluctuating wave) into digital information (represented by ones and zeros, or bits). This fundamental shift in technology totally changed how we handle visual and audio information -- it completely redefined what is possible.
Digital cameras can either store images on the camera itself but a small amout, or some cameras now have slots in them to insert a memory card that can store images.

The memory card is what the digital files are stored on. If you have no memory card in your camera there is nowhere for the camera to store the files.

How is audio and video picked up in a cam coder?
A detailed answer might require lot of pages and illustrated pictures/diagrams. However, briefly I can say that once the sound and image are captured with a Camera's microphone and lens, they are instantly converted into digital stream, encoded with specific algorithms (to decrease its size), resynchronized and stored into some digital storage container (HD, Disc, Tape, ..)
How many pictures can one get with a CF 16gb memory card?
Size of the pictures taken on digital cameras can vary due to resolution and whether the images are raw or not. Approximately 2000 images taken with a 14 MP camera can be stored on a 16gb memory card.

You can try removing the film and put it in some vinegar before you take pictures. The acid in it makes the film able to hold more pictures despite the size. If you are looking for storage capacity on a digital camera you can also try soaking it in vinegar.
