Why does it say I have 2000+ photos on my phone?

I have 619 photos in my camera roll, 424 photos in my photo stream, and deleted all my recently deleted photos. But when I use iTunes on my computer when my phone is connected it says I have 2,347 photos that are using up 3.35 GB. Why does it say I have more photos than I do?

I had the same issue. When I checked the "Recently Deleted" album in the Photos app I had 130 photos but when I clicked on "delete all" it asked if I wanted to delete all 1,836 items. When looking closely at the photos I noticed some looked like they were cascaded behind each other. Regardless, after I deleted them, my usage for photos went from 6.1 GB to 2.1GB. When I synced, iTunes now says I only have 270 photos which is correct.
