I'd pretty much go with what Bob and others have said. I do however
have one exception; That being the BIG CF cards. I have yet to do it
myself, but I have seen others accidentally do an /erase all/, or a
/formatting/ of a card when that was not their intention. Now, the
images in many cases can be recovered, but not in the field, and
without spare cards, their shooting is done. So I feel safe with only
around 80 - 90 images on a card. As the cameras have more pixels and
the files sizes get larger, I get larger cards and try to keep to my
safe image limit comfort level on them. Suffice it to say, thats only
my suggestion.
As another tip, if you should be like me, and have a number of cards
in a wallet; I use a system to track exposed versus unexposed cards.
All cards are in-camera reformatted before a days worth of shooting,
and placed face side up in the wallet. After they have been exposed,
they are placed into the wallet face down.

In some situations, like a daughter's soccer game, picking through the
CF cards and making sure the one going in is empty plus the actual time
to swap the cards, you could miss the 'shot of a life time'. With
larger cards that still exists but the chance of it happening are
reduced....... I once carried a few 1G cards, but now I have a 2G and
2 x 4G. I bought a Tamrac neoprene strap that came with two 'pockets'
attached. The two cards not in the camera are in these pockets.
As Tom P said, CF card capacity is almost a religion, and so is how to
carry them......
