How many pictures will fit on a CompactFlash card?
It depends on the resolution of your photos, how they are compressed (usually jpg or tif), and the size of your CompactFlash card. In general, tif files are of higher quality than jpg files, but they take up more room. Uncompressed files are the highest quality and are the largest. Average users often find that they can fit about 36 images on a 16MB card.
