Need to know the model or the number of megapixels to answer the question. I can say RAW takes up a lot of data.

According to imaging-resource.com, the D5000 will hold 44 full resolution RAW + JPEG images (23.3 MB average size) with a 1 GB card. Complete information can be found here:

You should use class 6 or faster cards if you intend on using the HD video function.
