there are atleast 1700 snaps you can store
This 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.

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.
about 1000 pictures total
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.
depend on the picture size and their quality if you are saving .png format picture than it you can save upto 10000 pics on 2 GB or more.
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.
500 pictures.

A camera with this pixel setting will have more room, but the images may not be as crisp as ones with a bigger pixel count. You can fit approximately 200 pictures of this kind on a 2 GB memory card.
Well, if each photo is around 2.5 MB you can hold 550 photos, you can always buy a couple extra 2 gigabyte memory cards, thier priced very inexpensivly
