Back when I was shooting with Pentax *ist DS and K10D, I had standardized on 2G Sandisk Extreme cards.
Then, 2008ish onwards, I standardized on 8G Sandisk Extremes with Panasonic L1 and G1 bodies. Last year, I upgraded to 16 and 32 G Sandisk Extreme and HP Class 10s, shooting with Ricoh GXR-M and Leica M9. With a 32G card in the Leica M9, I can make about 1500 JPEG + raw, 18Mpixel exposures per card. This means I need to carry about three-four cards to cover the entirety of a three week photo trip to the UK, with double redundancy (I normally find myself shooting about 1500-2000 exposures on these trips). The funny part of this, to me anyway, is that the other cameras I carry much of the time these days take 12 exposures on a roll of 120 film. ;-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
