A rough estimation is based on 2gb can give roughly 400 pictures. This is rough though, because it is dependent on the mode and image size and quality.

But I’d guess maybe 1600 pics.

However, I use a reasonably cheap 8gb sd card on my Canon 60d, which is 18mp and I typically only get 991 pictures. This is using a LARGE quality, not a RAW setting.
