SD cards come in larger sizes! Mine are 128 MB and 256 MB, and I know 512 is also available although so far I've never bothered to buy one (nor have I bought, so far, a CF larger than 256 MB.) Secondly, as you may know, the *istD takes JPEGs as well. I suppose that the new one will, too. Don't you think that a person who moves up from an Optio to a "baby D" would be more likely to shoot JPEGs than RAW? But as Caveman said, using both would be an interesting idea. I think some of the "prosumer" Fuji Finepix cameras do that, although in their case the (physically) smaller card is xD not SD, since Fuji does that. Come to think of it, I believe Olympus has done the same with some of theirs. ERN
