Memory Card Capacity
You did not specify the pixel count of your camera. I have an example for 5 MP cameras. You can look this over and do the math for your camera if it is different.
You also must understand that this information is based on using the highest resolution, largest image a 5 MP camera can produce. If you use smaller sizes, the storage capacity increases immensely.
Put the card in your camera and see how many frames it says you can still hold on the card. That's the only really accurate way. Well, even that is an approximation, because the camera does not know how large your next picture will be. It's like your car predicting how many miles of fuel you have remaining in the tank when it doesn't know if you are about to smach the gas pedal to the floor. For instance, if you take a picture with a lot of more-or-less uniform sky in it, the memory used for a full 5 MP picture will be considerably lower than a 5 MP picture with huge amounts of detail.
If you are thinking of buying a 2 GB card and don't have one to check by putting in your camera, look in your owner's manual.
If you lost your manual, you can do some estimates and some calculations. A 5 MP camera will make files about 3-3.5 MB in size for an "average" full size, maximum resolution picture. Sometimes more and sometimes less. The theoretical MAXIMUM would be 5 MB, right?
Two billion divided by 5 million = 400 pictures.
If the file size if more like 3.5 MP, though:
Two billion divided by 3.5 million = 570 pictures.
Do the math to draw your own conclusions about lesser file sizes.
If you shoot a mid-size photo with "normal" resolution, you might even be able to get about a thousand on the card. Check your manual for details.

If inserted in a camera with the resolution set to 6 megapixels FINE it probably can hold more than 1,000
If you are considering buying a 2BG memory card for your camera, FIRST consider with the camera's manual, some cameras only take as a limit cards that are up to 1GB.

Hi, I know the awnser, I'm a photographer , the 2GB memory card will hold about 2'000, depending on the file size, (megapixels), on a 5 Mega pixel, you would get any were from 1'500, to 2'200.

It depends on how big your files are.
My camera is 7.1 mega-pixels. A 2GB card will hold about 180 high quality jpegs at full resolution, or about 100 raw images. Or about 70 raw + jpeg.

A LOT! Liek a million or so. You should have a counter on your camera. It should say 1/1000000 or somthing like that then when you take a picture it will say 2/10000000 so forth and so on.

It depends on the format
-jpeg(most common)
-RAW high quality
And the sensor size on the camera
for most cameras this should be fine
