I'm contemplating a eos 20d camera and wonder at different settings,
what I might expect a 1gig CF card to hold in # images?

Shooting RAW at low ISO (100-200) with a similar sized Canon (1D M II)
I typically get about 125-130 images per GB. Higher ISO RAW images
would give fewer since they are noiser and don't compress as well in
RAW format. Maybe ~100 at ISO 800, for example.

Jpegs are much smaller and you can store several times more jpegs than
RAWs on the same sized card.

Drill down to 20D product support and download the manual in PDF format.
See pages 46-48.
