How many photographs are in one gigabyte?

Answer 1

There isn't a specific answer, because it depends on the format, resolution, and compression algorithm used as well as the length of the individual movies.

If it helps any, an HD movie using the H.264 video codec takes up around 12 GB an hour.

Answer 2

The answer depends upon the size of the photograph. A camera set to save photographs of approximately 10MB in size could store approximately 100 photographs on a 1GB card, whereas a smaller sized image (and possibly lower quality) would allow for more files to be stored on the same card.

Answer 3

If your photographs are 5Mb each (compact cameras ofter jpeg compress 8 megapixel snapshots to under this size) you will fit 100 000 pictures in 500 Gb.
