The QuickTake 100 and 150 store pictures in 1 MB of flash memory fixed inside the camera. The QuickTake 200 uses removable SmartMedia cards, which Apple called storage cards.<ref name="qt100ug" /><ref name="qt200ds" />

* The camera comes with a 2 MB card, a Fujifilm MG-2. It holds up to 20 high-quality or 30 standard-quality pictures.<ref name="qt200ds" /><ref name="til-cards">Apple Computer, "QuickTake 200: How To Identify 2MB and 4MB Storage Cards", Tech Info Library article TA37177, APPLE_TIL_ARTICLES collection, file TA30000-TA39999.

Fujifilm's leaflet for the MG-2 gives it as NAND flash memory, 37 × 0.76 × 45 mm and 1.8 g, good for at least 250,000 writes. It lists static, electrical noise and removing the card or the power during access as causes of lost data, and says a card will eventually lose its ability to store pictures.<ref name="mg2">Fuji Photo Film Co., ''Image Memory Card MG-2 Operating Instructions'', archive.org item [https://archive.org/details/ffds-7 ffds-7], file ImageMemoryCard_MG-2.pdf (retrieved 2026-10-02).
