When I bought my first digital camera (the IXUS I think) I had 128Mb card that would last me a few holidays with hundreds of snaps.
Skip on ten or so years later and I'm having a problem fitting seven photos from my 5d2 onto a 700Mb CD for a friend of mine 
Until ...today!... my current camera rig uses 128mb "smartmedia" cards. I can get 46 .jpgs on the card before it runs out, in theory anyways. The "smartmedia" (quotes definitely necessary in this case) cards are literally disintegrating and have a tendency to throw away a few shots per dive.
It's good times!
ps: it's an Olympus C4000 with a Light & Motion Tetra housing (+ wetmate adapter + wide angle lens + macromate diopter). I think I have around 6000 dollars in the system, bought in 2000 & 2001... It shoots very nice pictures when the media card doesn't delete them!

Haha, evil media card
I remember when I first made the switch to digital. I got a sony mavica that recorded images to floppy disc. It held about 25 photos. I'm glad those days are over.
