We just have to wait a few years for the price to become reasonable.

Well if you are shooting with a Phase One P45 MF back where each shot produces a 117MB file...that's only 100 shots or so per card...

Just noticed my typo ... that would be 12-16G. :-) But yeah, you've got a point. I used to think 1G was pretty big until I upgraded to the Canon 5D. I can only get about 55 pictures on a 1G card. So 2G is now the minimum for me and 4G sounds even better.
