How many megapixels is your camera? I have a 6.1MP and can fit upwards of 330 or so on a 1 GIG card.

Edited to add:
I shoot JPEG fine.

it also depends on the complexity of your picture and the ISO setting you use. The more complex, the higher the ISO, the less picture you'll be able to fit onto the card.

I have a 1GB SD card and my camera is 6.1 megapixels. I can fit a total of 528 pictures on it.

forgot to add. It also depends on what compression you use. The least compression, the larger the file.

On my old 300D, 1 Gb can fit anywhere from 250 to 350 pictures depending on the ISO and complexity of the picture. I always use Fine Large (highest resolution, least compression) JPEG.

Jilly16,
you may want to check your photo file setting because it seems like you're using medium quality instead of the best quality setting. You have a nice camera, use it to its fullest.

and whether you are shooting RAW - i get about 95 shots @ ISO 200 on 1 Gb

Approximately how many pictures will fit on a 1 gb SD card?

To find out how many pics from your camera will fit on any size card, first look at the average size of your pics using My Computer.

Once you know the average size of pics produced by your camera, you can do the simple math to find out how many of them will fit on a 1gb card.

Example - pics produced by my Fuji average about 600K.
1gb=1024mb, 600k=0.5mb. 1024mb/0.5mb=2048pics.

Example - pics taken by my Canon average about 3mb.
1gb=1024mb. 1024mb/3mb=341pics.
