About how many RAW (.nef) files can I fit on a 16GB SD card at 16.2 megapixels?

I'm shooting with a Nikon D5100 and have decided to switch over to the RAW format because of the increase in picture quality and post-productive options. I need to know how many pictures in RAW will fit on my 16GB SD card so I can gauge whether I need to buy another one.

You should be consulting your D5100 Reference Manual for the answer… Page 218.
If you don't have your Manual handy, simply download it here…
