    My 20D didn't come with a card.

    I can't say exactly how many photos will fit on a card, as it varies with the subject.

    Shooting motorsport, I get around 100-130 RAW images on a card.
    I always shoot raw (.CR2) unless there is a reason to use jpeg.
    The only reason is size :) The buffer held 33 largest size jpeg files, but only 6 raw files.
    When there's action and I want a sequence (like a car spinning mid-corner) it may be that the raw buffer isn't big enough.

    I have 3x 1G cards, and use a Phototainer (from InnoPlus) to store them onto hard disc so I can continue shooting throughout the day without needing lots of cards.
