Just got back from the company picnic. I took over 2000 pictures. I've got to get a smaller memory card...

Ha! I go to birthday parties (seems like every weekend) with a 2GB card (unless it's my own kid's party!). |

Probably for some. But, I've got about 10,000 dance performance pictures to sort through, and God knows how many shots for a local nature preserve. I love taking pictures, but sorting through massive numbers of them not so much... ;-p

| My K100D will only take a 2g. Max in RAW is about 185. Drop 'er down to jpeg though and they're good for about 500. And that's too many! |

See? This is what happens when we stop shooting film. Instead of trying our best to get the perfect shot on a few 36-exp. rolls, we shoot in continuous mode (or just keep mashing the shutter) 'til we fill up our gigantic memory card, and hope that we got a few great shots.
Today's solution: Image Review -> Delete. Works wonders, and only takes seconds. I'm constantly deleting photos in Image Review, because I really don't feel like sorting through tens of similar shots when I get home. Keep the best, screw the rest. I haven't filled a card up in ages. |

What does it hurt to have a large mem card...This way you won't ever have the disappointment of running out of room and having an extra card

True enough, but the speed of the card is also a factor to be considered.

I like smaller cards, 4gb mostly. It takes only a second to swap cards and you don't have all your eggs in one basket in case of a failure. I'm not a "spray and pray" shooter either and I can't remember the last time I filled more than a couple cards on a shoot. |

There's a firmware upgrade to use SDHC cards, which I believe will allow for 32gb cards. |

| Ha, what you'll need is a new shutter in short order. |
