This can't be a precise answer because 12 MP photographs in JPG format vary in size quite a bit depending on how complex the photo is. A typical size is around 4 MB. (RAW files are much larger, closer to 20 MB). Your 500 GB drive will usually have about 450 GB of usable space. That gives you about 100,000 photos in JPG format. That number drops quite a bit if you have Photoshop files of each picture or have RAW files.

How many pictures can you save on the xbox?

The number of pictures you can save on an Xbox 360 is limited by two factors. First is the amount of space the unit has on its hard drive that is available, and second is the size of the pictures you wish to save. You should also consider, with regards to hard drive space, that other games or programs take up additional space on their own. If you have only a 60 gigabyte hard drive in your Xbox 360, and allowed 40 gigabytes for picture storage , and the average size of your picture files were 300 kilobytes each, you could store (at maximum capacity) over 130,000 pictures before the drive were full. This average may vary, depending on the size of pictures and the amount allotted for files.
