My SDHC cards never leave the camera until I'm home transferring them
to my Mac's HD (and another HD). And they go back in the camera and
get formatted as soon as they are done committing their content to HDs.
When I've ever filled a card of felt it was getting too close to full,
it goes into my "Filled Cards" micro-Halliburton aluminum case, and a
fresh card pulled from my "Fresh Cards" micro-Halliburton aluminum
case. Both cases reside in my camera bag.
Since I got BG-2 packs for both K20s, I rarely take the micro-
Halliburton cases with me anymore. A spare 8 GB SDHC resides in each
BG-2, along with a remote. If I ever (once) have had to swap cards, I
lock the card going in to the BG-2, so I won't accidently slap it back
in the camera. 8 GB x 4 holds a lot of PEFs for anything I'd do in one
day. The batteries might not handle filling them! I'm assuming I'd
have both K20s with me if it was going to be that intensive or
important. And the K10 would be somewhere close by as a backup with
one more 8 GB card.
Never put an SD in your pocket by itself, or anywhere that is not part
of something bright and shiny and large.
My 2 cents.

Yes. I just lost my 4 gig HD SD. I am royally poed. However, I'd
already copied the pictures to HD, so nothing was lost but the card.
I'm in the same boat. The silly thing is /somewhere/ in the house.
However, I've lived alone for twenty-five years, twelve in this
house, and I'm a slob so ... I'm not likely to find it until I move
to a new house, and possibly not then.
Picked up an el cheapo 2 gig
SanDisk. Won't be nearly as fast, not HD, but couldn't beat the
price. $12.95 at a local drugstore chain.
I'm waiting for a sale at Fry's. They've got 4GB 133X CF cards for
$12.99 right now, but I've got plenty of CF capacity.
Still, it's too easy to lose those darn things.
Yep, that's my main beef with the SD and smaller formats. MicroSD
is far worse, but that's what my "hiker's" GPS uses. I really
prefer something about the size of a CompactFlash device, but
without the sharp corners.
