Surprisingly, my Canon Ixus 75 (7.1 megapixels) seems to think it can take 1271 pictures on a 4GB card at the highest quality level.

For any thing you need to know about number of pictures a card can hold or amount of video it can record, go to:

Probably in the neighborhood of 450, depending on the file size and the quality setting.

The capacity of a card indicates the maximum amount of data that can be stored (less some space for the card's own use).

Megapixel (MP) count refers to the maximum resolution of the camera's sensor -- its ability to record detail. The number of images that can be recorded on a card of a given size is only indirectly related to the capacity of the card, which is measured in Kilobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB), not MP. That will vary according to the image itself, and to the camera's settings.

For example: My Pentax K10D, with a 10.1 MP sensor and using a 4 GB card, will record approximately 821 images at the highest resolution (10 MP) and a "Fine" resolution setting. The same camera, with the same sensor and same card, will record 10,000-plus images at the lowest resolution (2 MP) and the "Low" resolution setting. Practically all cameras have this ability to change the resolution settings, and thus the sizes of the image files that are stored on the card.

So, you can see that it is only possible to answer your question in very general terms: The higher the capacity of the card, the more images you can store at whatever camera settings. And, as you can see above, even at the highest settings with a high MP count, you can take a lot of pictures!

One thing to think about: storage cards can and do fail. It is better to have two 1 GB cards than one 2 GB card, unless you plan to shoot a whole lot of video. That way if one fails, you can keep shooting and worry about retrieving the images off the other card later.

This will change depending on the quality setting and how good your camera is at compressing JPEG, but on average a 10MP photo is ~5MP on Fine Setting, so around 1500 pictures on a 4GB card.

About 1. 4mb is tiny. Unless you mean 4GB. That's what usually comes with a good camera

What do I look for when purchasing a xD Card?

It all depends on what you want to get out of the memory card. Depending on how many pictures you would like to be able to keep on it at one time and the mega pixels of your camera the size you buy could vary greatly. The brand is not a concern when buying a memory card, they all do the same things. The higher the giga bite of the memory card the more pictures you are going to be able to hold but, a 64gb card in an 8mp camera is going to hold significantly less pictures than that same card would hold in a 5mp camera. The more megapixels a camera has the more space each photo will take up.
