The higher the gigabyte capacity, the more the memory card can hold.
It all depends on the size and quality of the photos, which can be adjusted in the setting. Most cameras show the number of pictures you can take in the bottom corner.
In my 10mp camera a 4 GB card will hold 1120 pictures at 3624 X 2449 resolution.
It depends on the quality of pictures you take, but with a 2GB card you should be able to store around 500 or 600 photos.
With an 8 gb card you generally can take around 2200 pictures depending on the quality of the pictures. Higher quality means bigger files and less pictures. Lower quality means smaller files and more pictures.
The content of the picture and what "Quality" level you are using affects how many pictures a memory card will hold. A 2 GB card in a 7.2 MP camera will hold something like 800 pictures on medium quality and 400 pictures on high quality.
It is recommended with a camera that is this sharp you have a minimum of a 1 gigabyte memory card. On this card you can fit approximately 56 pictures depending on the lighting and subject involved.
The content of the picture and the "Quality" level you are using affects how many pictures a memory card will hold. A 1 GB card in a 6 MP camera will hold something like 450 pictures on medium quality and 225 pictures on high quality.
about 1000 pictures total
there are atleast 1700 snaps you can storeThis is completely misguided. It is assuming that the stored images are only 1.2 MB (roughly a 3.2 megapixel JPEG at 100%). An assumption that I'm not sure can be made, considering most of today's cameras are at least 6 MP, except for those found in mobile phones.The actual number of images that can be stored on a 2 GB card depends on many factors, including the size (in Megapixels) of the captor, the format of the image stored (RAW vs. JPEG) and, if stored in JPEG, the compression level of the image.Without knowing the specifics of a particular camera, format and compression, it is impossible to say how many can be stored.For example, take a 10.1 MB camera. If you are storing in full size JPEG (each photo would be about 4.5-5 MB) you would get 400-450 on a 2 GB card. If using the same camera in RAW, the images stored will be about 9 MB, so you would be able to get about 222 (2000/9) on a 2 GB card.In order to know how many, there is more information, and some calculations, that have to be done. Many cameras today will tell you, after inserting the memory card, how many photos you will can take given the present camera settings.
The number of pictures you can take varies depending on your camera model and complexity of the scene to be photographed. The manual for your camera should give you an "approximate" number.
