How many pictures will the iphone 5 with 16gb hold?

I'm getting the iphone 5 and just want to know how many pics can it hold with 16gb?

That is a variable answer. Picture sizes depend on a number of factors so, there's no ___ number of pictures answer.

Like the first poster said, there are a lot of variables.

16GB on an iPhone typically comes out to 14GB of actual free space. You'll likely not use all 14GB for photos alone, so…

I would estimate you could have a couple thousand pictures or more on there just fine.
