That really depends on the quality of your camera. Different cameras have different image quality, and as a result, different file extensions are used. Different file extensions mean different file sizes.

A high megapixel camera will typically have photos with a file size of 40-50MB. 1000 MB = 1 GB, so, assuming you are using a high megapixel camera, then you could hold around 320-400. The less the picture quality, the more photos you can hold.

That greatly depends on the resolution of the camera as well as resolution of the size pictures. 4gb hold 999 pictures on low resolution, but only about 125 on high resolution with a 10mb pixel camera.

Your camera should instruct on how to change the resolution as well as giving an approximation on how much space the pictures will take up.

The average photo is 0.293 MB. Converted to GB, 0.293MB is 0.0002861328125GB.

To find out how much a 16GB memory card can hold, simply divide 16 by 0.0002861328125. The answer is 55198.09.

Therefore, a 16gb memory card can hold approximately 55 198 pictures, assuming the average photo size is 0.293 MB.

However, keep in mind that memory cards are never exactly 16gb, and will most often be slightly less (like 15.2 GB). Also, HD photos will take up more space, whereas lower resolution photos will take less space.

It depends on how many megapixels you are using. 16GB can hold approximately 2,500 -10,000 pictures.
