      Hi Mike007

      That will depend on the size of the individual pictures. So if you use a high resolution setting on your camera,giving better quality photos, but at a high cost of storage, you will be able to store fewer images on a given card size.

      As an example: let us say a photo takes up 2 MB (megabyte of disk), a 4 GB card is 4,000 MB so you can store 2000 photos. Now you go to lower resolution, say 1 MB per photo, then by halving the size of a photo, you double the number of photos that can be stored, that is you store 4000 photos.

      So the number of photos is dependent on how much storage your card has and the setting you use to determine the resolution of a photo. The last bit is up to your personal taste.

      Hope this helps
