How Many Photos Can 32GB Hold?
A 32GB memory card holds roughly 3,757 JPEG photos at 24 MP (about 7,515 at 12 MP), around 1,127 RAW files, or 1.3 hours of 4K video.
32GB cards still ship with plenty of cameras, dash cams and trail cams — small, but more capable than people expect for JPEG shooting.
