I have to use multiple smaller capacity cards on my digicam, and, frankly, when making larger files (TIFF in my case) it really stinks! I'd much rather have a larger card, and should I get a newer digital camera, you can bet I'll be using at least some large capacity cards, regardless of camera brand or format. Thing is, the idea of having a few cards with different capacities is appealing as well. But, when shooting inh the field, so to speak, I don't want to have to change cards. Perhaps for the macro/landscape/still life group it's not a problem. But when photographing outside, on the street, in situations that change often,m not a good idea.
