I plan to purchase a Nikon L830 in the near future. It does not come with a memory card. I do not know a whole lot about memory cards. I take pictures and usually transfer them to my computer within a few days and delete them off the memory card.
The only time I need a lot of storage is when we go to Disney World and I might take 300+ photos in one day, but I put them on my computer each night and start the next day with and empty card.
I have no idea how many photos a 8GB card will hold. See attachment, this is what I am considering.
Any advice would be appreciated.

How many photos depends on what file settings you use. If you use the RAW setting you will get fewer images on the card than if you choose the jpg setting. But you should get somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 images. That also assumes no use on a video setting. My preference for a large trip would be two 8gb cards. That way if one goes bad you don't lose everything.

I have no idea what RAW is, so, I would not use that.
So, if we go back to Disney, I would get another card then.
the 80MB/s' means that I can take real fast pictures one after the other, others are 30MB/s' which I guess is slower?

It means the card is capable of data transfer at that speed. There are two variables... how fast the card can accept data but also how fast the camera can send it. If one is significantly slower than the other you'll see an overall slow down after you click the shutter.
The faster the card is the more expensive it tends to be. So you'll want to read your owners manual and consider cards that are at or only slightly faster than your camera if you are on a budget. It doesn't hurt to have a faster card. Just depends on how tight your budget is.
