Answer 2

My 5 megapixel camera averages 1MB per picture, so 256MB = 256 pictures, 1GB = 1,000 pictures.  Personally having had a 256MB card start failing on me, when on holiday I carry 4 256MB cards with me and switch them 2 or 3 times a day.  Then if a card fails I would only lose 1/3 of my holiday pictures rather than all of them :-)
