Remember when we could only shoot 36 exposures before having to reload, without even knowing whether or not any of our photos were actually what we expected?

I found the limits for the DS when I was doing the sequence testing to be about 195 RAW exposures on a 2G card, but it is variable based upon how the JPEG previews embedded in the PEFs compress, which is scene and ISO dependent. I expect the DS2 is identical in this regard. My rule of thumb when it comes to buying storage is that I like to have space for about 100 exposures on a card. For the DS, 1G is fine. For the Sony R1, 2G is required. Going to 2G and 4G respectively allows more flexibility in the field, but isn't essential. I'd wait on buying SD media with greater than 2G capacity. I'll want some 4G SDHC for the K10D as well, but no need to rush ... I've got about 12G of SD cards in stock already, in 1G and 2G cards.
