Here you go. I wrote this for a 5 MP camera and a 1 GB card. If you double the file size and double the card size, the number of images would remain the same, so you can accept these answers without recalculating.
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.

It depends on what size you save your pictures in
600x800, 1024x782 etc
at least a couple hundred
btw, megapixels are the resolution in your camera, doesn'thave to do with camera memory.

It relies upon on many aspects. in words of images and video clips it relies upon on what determination (high quality) they are and what record form they are. Your average JPEG image is between a million and 5MB in length. Your average video 4 minute video (not HD) off the internet is about 40-50MB. HD ones of a similar length are extra or less 3 situations more advantageous. So in accordance to those numbers you ought to in good structure *between 400 (intense determination) and 2000 (low determination) images or * 40 4 minute SD video clips or 10-15 HD 4 minute video clips or * a honest mixture of both on a 2GB sd card. A 4GB card will carry (almost) two times as a lot.

I dropped a 2GBcard into my Canon, low-level formatted it (which took about 5 seconds) and now this card allows me to take over 680 "Large" images at 2816 x 2112 pixels in Superfine mode (least amount of file compression). Or over 17,000 images in the "Small" image (640 x 480 pixels) and high compression mode.

If shooting in RAW, you will get approx. 200 images.
If shooting Jpeg, Large/fine you will get approx. 500 images.
RAW+Jpeg would be approx. 140 images
