It all depends on what type of camera you use or what type of photo you save. If your camera is lets say 5 mega pixels, we would do 5x3=15. The three come from the three colors in any picture on you screen. In total the image would round up to 15MB size.

Do note that images can be compressed into smaller sizes but later on you would have to uncompress them.

The answer is one or many depending upon the resolution of the image!

I have images that range from 12KB to several Megabytes.

If you have 2MB images, then you can roughly store 1000 images.

there will be some variation but around 140 raw images Just to give some idea of the fairly huge amount of variation as mentioned above, I happen to own a 10 mp Nikon P5000 with an empty 2 gb SD card. This particular camera does not have RAW capability (I wish it did), but it does offer three different compression ratios of JPEG.

* In 10m "normal" (1:8 compression) mode it will hold 794 images. This is my personal standard, and the default. It is equivalent to 22 rolls of 35mm 36 exposure film.

* In 10m "fine" (1:4 compression) mode the card will hold 402 images. * In 10m ""basic" (1:16 compression) mode, the same card will hold 1,550 images, and we haven't yet changed the image size. This particular camera also offers nine choices of image size, which also affects the total number of captures possible on the same 2 gb card. I recently carefully tested all three compression ratios for visible quality differences, and concluded that while the "fine" quality was very nice, it (for me at any rate) did not offer enough of a visible increase in quality to sacrifice half the space on the card, so I stick with "normal." addendum: never occured to me to look at what jpeg would offer. the lowest quality and smallest image would put over 5K jpg images on a 2 GB card for me with my 10.2 MP pentax K10D. in general though I shoot in raw on three 4 GB cards

It all depends on the quality of the picture.

Think logically:

- The better the quality the more memory it takes and vice versa.

A simple way to find out how many images you can have on any memory card is to turn on the camera and set the resolution and file sizes and see what it tells you. A number of things will dictate what size image you get. The first is the quality setting. On my camera I have a standard setting, a fine setting, extra fine setting, Raw plus JPEG, Raw and JPEG. With RAW images on a 2 gig card I get 398 images. With RAW/JPEG and on a large size (3008 x 2000 pixles) I get 298 images. This is because I get two sets of images. Setting it to RAW/JPEG and small file (1504 x 1000 pixles) I get 364 images. Setting my quality to EXTRA FINE and Large image (3008 x 2000 pixles) I get 613 images. My advice is to always shoot at either RAW or JPEG at the highest resolution. Storage capacity is so cheap nowadays it is hardly worth worrying about how many images you can get on a card

It varies, but for comparative purposes, 200 lightly compressed 8.1 megapixel JPEGs.

A 2 GB SD card holds 2,000 megabytes. A 10 megabyte camera would produce 200 pictures.

It depends on how big your files are.

Find out the size of your file, then divide that by 2000 megabytes (2GB).

How many pictures does a 2gb hold with a 7.2 mega pixel digital camera?

How many pictures on a 2gb xd memory card hold on a 12mp dig camera hold at the highest resolution?

You can figure it out by dividing 2GB (2 billion) by 12MP (12 million) which works out to roughly 167 photos. The camera compresses the photo data, so you will actually get more photos (something like 200 photos I would guess)


How many pictures does 2gb hold in 8.1 mega pixel digital camera?

The capacity of a card indicates the maximum amount of data that can be stored (less some space for the card's own use).Megapixel (MP) count refers to the maximum resolution of the camera's sensor -- its ability to record detail. The number of images that can be recorded on a card of a given size is only indirectly related to the capacity of the card, which is measured in Kilobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB), not MP. That will vary according to the image itself, and to the camera's settings.For example: My Pentax K10D, with a 10.1 MP sensor and using a 4 GB card, will record approximately 821 images at the highest resolution (10 MP) and a "Fine" resolution setting. The same camera, with the same sensor and same card, will record 10,000-plus images at the lowest resolution (2 MP) and the "Low" resolution setting. Practically all cameras have this ability to change the resolution settings, and thus the sizes of the image files that are stored on the card.So, you can see that it is only possible to answer your question in very general terms: The higher the capacity of the card, the more images you can store at whatever camera settings. And, as you can see above, even at the highest settings with a high MP count, you can take a lot of pictures!One thing to think about: storage cards can and do fail. It is better to have two 1 GB cards than one 2 GB card, unless you plan to shoot a whole lot of video. That way if one fails, you can keep shooting and worry about retrieving the images off the other card later.

It depends upon the MP of your camera. The more the MP the higher the quality of the photo, and so the no of pictures that can be stored reduces. For ex, for a 2MP camera, you can store 2379 photos on a 2GB card, whereas for a 8MP camera you can only store 635 photos.
