Having ordered my D80 I now need to buy some memory cards. Was considering getting a pair of 2GB SanDisk SecureDigital Extreme III Cards. Could anybody give me an idea of how many images (JPEG and RAW) I could realistically expect to get on each card?

RAW + JPG L/F - 77
JPG L/F - 223
JPG L/N - 444
L = Large
F = Fine
N = Normal
HTH...
I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I just figure on a 10mp camera taking somewhere around 10MB shots (in RAW) so 4GB = 400, 8GB = 800...
Good for a rough estimate, but not exact. I actually get 399 on my 4GB card, about 798 on my 8GB card
I suppose it really depends on the camera and composition of the shots...

Graphical images with minimal small details will be smaller files, than pictures with large areas of very fine detail.
Think a small building in a large even blue sky, versus pictures of fall foliage with lots of different colored leaves.
