That depends on the size of the image files, which in turn depends on the resolution settings. You can count on about 4,000 at the highest resolution, and thousands more on the lowest.

However: your camera may not recognize a 16 GB card, and if it does your PC card reader may not. Check on those two things.

Finally, you would be much better served by two or three 2 GB cards. Cards do fail sometimes, and if your 16 dies you could lose a lot of images. Also, there is no likelihood that you will ever need that kind of capacity, whereas an extra card for someone else's camera, or to keep groups of shots separate...or in a safe place...could be very useful.

Each of the 2 GB cards will give you about 350 shots at max. setings.

Around ten or fifteen at full resolution. With a 9 MP camera, you should use a 1 GB card at minimum. I suggest getting two. They have been known to fail, and it is handy to have a spare so you can keep shooting as long as you like and worry about retrieving the images from the other card later.

"If you take 8GB and divide it by 12MPixels you get 8,000,000,000 divided by 12,000,000 which works out to 666 photos. You will get more than that because digital cameras use a form of compression for the pictures so each photo takes up less space. You could round up to about 700 photos or more."

The answer above is totally bogus. The number of pixels in a picture is not directly related to the file size (in other words, a 12 megapixel picture is NOT 12 megabytes in size). While it depends on a lot of different factors, a 12 megapixel JPEG file is usually around 2.5MB. This means you should be able to fit around 3000 pictures on an 8GB memory card.

you are both wrong a 8gb compressed memory card can hold 1907 pictures

You have three choices above, A, B, and C. The real answer is C, 1907 pictures. How do you know for sure, check out the related link.
