Depends on how much are your pictures size and resolution. Also, if your pictures are colorize, this can increase their size.
Try to make one of your pictures then you can calculate the rest of them.
Imagine, one of your pictures is 500 KB , if other pictures are like this one you can carry about
256MB = 256000KB
256000 KB / 500 KB = 512 pictures

as the post above says the quality of the image determines in part the size of the data file stored. Also, the physical dimension of the photo matters, a 2 x 2 is going to take less room than a 4 x5 or an 8 x 10. So the size of the actual photo counts as much as the resolution. Also there are many compression standards, most commonly photos are stored in .jpg format which has the tightest compression standards. Also, you can adjust the program for the quality of ht epicture you save. Another variable that affects file size and therefore the number of photos on the memory card--are the images color or black and white? Color images take 6-8 times the storage space than black and white images....

The amount of pictures depends on the quality that's being saved, and the amount of space you have on the disk.
For example, a 3 megapixel camera might be able to store over 100 pictures on a 64MB memory card at the highest quality setting, whereas a 5 megapixel might barely get over 60. The more megapixels means that there is more data being recorded for each individual picture.
A 256MB memory card should easily get you over 200 pictures, if not more like 300-400 depending on the type of camera...

It all depends on the quality. I've got a 256 MB card with a 4 megapixel camera. At the highest JPG resolution, I can store about 250-275 pictures in total. If you reduce the quality of the photo, you can fit even thousands. I recommend keeping the quality high though.

To expand on what the previous poster said, it depends on the quality of the picture you are saving. A megabyte is one million bytes a 2 megapixels camera takes pictures at best resolution of about .5 megabytes while a camera with 8 megapixels at best resolution takes pictures that use up about 1 megabyte.
So assuming that you are using the later your card would hold 260 pictures, if the former 520.

It depends on what resolution you pick for your photos. If you pick the lowest resolution then you can probably fit several hundred. However, in that case you will likely NOT be able to print out the photos as the quality of the image files won't be good enough for printing. If you pick a medium/high resolution then you will still be able to fit about 200 photos on a 256 MB card. Each image in that case is usually about .8-1.2 MB depending on the particular settings.

From what I've read, Conel is the closest to being right, but keep in mind one more thing, the picture format also makes a difference. A picture that is in .bmp format takes up much more space than a .jpg or .gif format file.
The all around best format for quality vs. size is the .jpg format.
What are you using the pics for? If you are uploading them to use on the web in a web page then your resolution really isn't as critical there as if would be say, making copies to give to your friends.
Good luck.

The number of pictures you can take varies depending on your camera model and complexity of the scene being photographed. To calculate how many pictures your card can hold, divide the capacity of your card by the average file size of your images. For example, if you have a 256MB card, and use a camera that has an average file size of 1.2MB, then 256 divided by 1.2 gives you approximately 213 pictures. As you change modes on your camera, the number of images will increase if you shoot in a lower resolution mode, and decrease if you shoot in a higher resolution mode.

I did some tests, and I think it could store at least 8,000 pictures of varying sizes and formats. That is 'at least', because those images were 800X600 pixels (the same as most wallpapers), and I averaged equaly how many of each file type could be held. The lower staggler was bitmap files, at 150 for 260 mb, while the others were all at least 12,000.

how big are the picures?
you could store ONE that is ~250 Mb! or, 250 that are ~1 Mb each! (there is a 'housekeeping' penalty on all drives!), not to mention that a '260 mb' (of 1,000,000 byte groups), drive is actually approximately 255Mb (of 1,024,000 byte groups).
or, about a 7% reduction in useable space...
The math is easy!
Need to know how big are the photos!
