Yesterday while shooting the air show I was down to 60 odd shots

the Blue Angels started their performance. I had a second card in my
pocket, but when the show was over I still had images left, but I
don't know how many. I didn't run out and I didn't check the
counter.
When I uploaded the images the PSE7 Organizer said I had 247 new
images. Not believing it, I counted and there were indeed 247
images.
As that is about 80 more than it told me I had, is that normal?
Totally normal. If the image is compressible, it's the complexity
of the image which dictates just how much it can be crunched down.
It applies to raw files too - but maybe that is obvious . (low
techy moi) and CF cards.
Compressed RAW files, yeah. I would wager that if you are saving in a
non-compressed format (I don't remember which is which) they would all
be the exact same size!
When I shot a concert a couple nights ago (which I do in JPEG),
the card stated that I had about 380 images or so to go on my 2gig
card when I started. But I ended up putting 897 images on the
card, with space for 30-40 more left over. A lot of black space
= smaller images.

Or a lot of white or any color area that lacks detail, yes? (all
other things being equal).
Yes. Agree. Lot of white, lot of sky - anything which is a lot of
the same value (and, I'd guess, contiguous - but I don't know that for
sure).
