1 GB is relatively small for today's standards, although many 1 GB flash drives exist.

It depends on the size of the photo, which in turn depends on the resolution and the encoding.

GIF and JPEG formats are compressed formats. A good size to "share" with e-mail, web photos, and etc. is less than 100 KB, with resolutions between 500x500 and 1000x1000.

Some newer cameras are able to produce photos in excess of 2MB.

While the large photos are cumbersome for handling, they are better for cropping and editing, and produce better prints.

So....

At 100K, a 1GB drive or flash card could hold about 10,000 photos.

At 2MB, a 1GB drive or flash card could hold about 500 photos.

The answer will vary depending on the number of pixels in each picture, the color bit level and the compression ratio.

To use my own pictures as an example. They are 800X600, 24 bit color, compressed with JPEG set to medium compression. They average about 275 KB each. So, 1 GB will hold 3636 pictures. Most of today's cameras take much bigger pictures than that so the number of pictures will decrease proportionally.

How much will a 1GB card hold?

1GB is the same as 1,073,741,824 bytes I'm going to assume that you want to hold either pictures, music or video on your 1GB card. Because of it's limited amount of space the 1GB card is best used for storing pictures or audio files and not video. One hour of standard definition video at 2.2Mbit/s is about 1GB. It will also hold over 17 hours of compressed audio at 128 kbit/s. At the same time it will hold 1000 pictues at 1024×1024 pixel bitmap with 256 colors.

How many objects can fit in a sack? Obviously it depends on the size of the objects. Dive 250GB by the size of the picture and you get how many photos it can hold. 1GB = 1000MB 1MG = 1000kB If a picture has a size of 2MB then you divide 250000 by 2 and you get 125000 pictures. If it has 500kB then you divide 250000 by 0.5 and you get 500000 pictures.
