Do too much research on the web and you can convince yourself that everything is doomed. DOOMED, I tell thee!
So many cameras, so many good and bad reviews for each one. Somebody please make it stop! 
OK, I'm being facetious, but so far the most universally praised one in my spec and price range is the Canon PowerShot SD300.
However, I also had a look at a friend's Pentax Optio S5i last night. Very small, 5.0 mpixels, decent enough picture quality for my needs, although in low light the LCD screen displayed a lot of noise when used as a viewfinder. Overall it looked like a pretty good camera, and one I will consider.
All of which reminds me to ask a question:
If you want to use the highest possible picture quality at all times, how much memory would you need to store approximately 100 photos on a 4 or 5 mpixel camera? |

Now you're being facetious! The easy answer to your question is: twice as much as half.
The reason it is tough to answer is it will depend on many factors, the most variably of which will be what you shoot. Try taking a shot of a non-patterned surface and then one with tons of detailed patterning. They will consume different amounts of space - sometimes shockingly different. Then there's size, picture format, effects, picture quality...
Perhaps be a bit more specific about these and someone might have a suggestion that fits your needs. Otherwise, people will give you answers like "Well, on my camera I can get ...." which are really arbitrary as they don't fit your situation. |

| Again, go Cnet.com. Not only do their experts review cameras, but they also post user reviews. And, they have sideXside comparisons of cameras, which is invaluable. |
