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 smash 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 1 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?
One billion divided by 5 million = 200 pictures.
If the file size if more like 3.5 MP, though:
One billion divided by 3.5 million = 285 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.

It depends on the quilaity of the camera. Theres different sizes of pictures a camera can take.the bigger the picture is the more details it would show and the more memory it would occupy.but trust me 2gb is way way way way way too much memory.thats a good thing so youll fit in more pics but youll ran out of battery so fast. But 2 gb is about as much memory as you can get.it wil fit over a thousand for sure.

Alot.It depends on the resolution you have set,but generally for a 5 megapixel camera set in standard to high resolution,about 1,500 pictures.

My 8 meg DSLR can store 320 at highest JPG setting. Lots more at lower settings.

More than you will ever need. I have a 1GB on 8MP DSLR at full resolution will store 273 pictures

Hundreds. More than you'll ever need. It also depends on the quality of all your images, but even then, hundreds.
