I was just looking for an answer to how many images at 5.0MP I could fit on a 256MB or 512MB SD card, and came across this website. It's exactly what I needed, and maybe it can help someone else in the future. http://www.picstop.co.uk/pdf/image_count.htm

Canon and every other digital camera I've seen has a least 2 options, most have 3 though for JPEG compression level settings. Once you start shooting in RAW or TIFF those image numbers are going to drop significantly, as there image size is way bigger then JPEGs. | |

A picture of something at night will be mostly dark, while a picture of chameleon paint with metallic flake will have more range...
Or is that what you guys are already talking about? | |

But regardless, I was assuming that the numbers stated are how many images a camera could store at the highest possible size it can create.
It is off somewhat for my 2.1MP camera though. I can only get about 50-55 usually.
