Think of megapixels as horsepower or whatever - it basically measures resolution and not the number of pictures a memory card can hold. This depends on:

-The size photo chosen in the camera 'Menu' (eg from postcard size to A3)

-The size in kilobytes of the individual photo.

For example, my camera is set to take 4" x 6" photos, and the average size in kb would be less than 2000 , or 2Meg, so in theory this would easily give (256/2) = 128 photos.

(I Gigabyte is 1024 Meg or 1,024 x1,024 kb0. However, because each person's photos and likes and dislikes are different, yours will not be the same as mine. Select the dimmest photo of the size you are going to take and divide that into the memory-card size. (Darker photos take more kb.)

How many pictures does a 2gb memory card hold for a 10mega pixel camera?

A 10 mp camera will take jpg files that are around 4 to 5 megabytes. Figuring on 4 megabytes per file, that's 2000/4 or around 500 photos on the outside range.


How many 2 mega pixel pictures will a 1 gigabyte memory card hold?

At 2mp's for 1gb, your memory card can hold at least 1,500 pictures. I had a 4mp camera with a 512 and that card holds over 700 photos. P.S. Why don't you start looking for another camera. the costs have come way down and an affordable camera costs about 175-300. If you would like a point-and-shoot camera, go with Canon. If you would like a lightweight ultra-telophoto zoom go with Kodak or Panasonic. If you would like a D-SLR go with Canon. There is a whole lot of stuff on the market, but you should probably upgrade from a 2 mega pixel camera to at least a 7 mega pixel camera and the results are incomparable and absolutely amazing. I shoot with 12.2 mega pixel and a 23.5 mega pixel, both make you feel like you are actually in the picture.
