Looking for a Digital Camera

[AJ Quick]

I am looking for a digital camera that I can use when I go to the UCF Regional. What are your takes on digital cameras, what would you recommend?

I am currently looking into the 2.1 MP Sony DSC-P51, which costs around $200-$250. I have been looking at possibly the next model up, which is 3 MP. Where should I look to buy one? On the internet, Best Buy, eBay, camera store? It only has 16mb of memory, so I will need a 64 or 128 stick, any good bundles or deals?

Anything is a step up from my Kodak DC50, which is probably a 1/10 of a MP (no joke). I plan on taking a few hundred pictures, probably closer to 1000. Hopefully someone will have their laptop I can unload them onto... otherwise it is the memory's capacity.
