Wow! You would only need 1 card!

Even more photos to loose if the card goes bad. Not an advantage from my way of thinking.

Good for HD video, not good for current DSLR's. Maybe when we get to 50+MP sensors.

Yeah, 4GB is big enough for me and a total of 12GB is definitely enough.

Look on the brighter side...it means that 2gb cards will get even cheaper.

cant wait until they start using those in mp3 players!

I would still need two cards. I gotta have a spare, just in case.

I agree that is an accident waiting to happen. And it will be an expensive one as well. I use 4GB. I have two of them (one as a spare), and as it is I worry about then because I shoot in RAW and they fill up quite fast, and if I loose it, or have it go bad while it is full on the way home I would really go berserk. I already had a 2GB go bad on me after shooting all afternoon at a Cherry Blossom festival in Newark, NJ where they had Japanese performers put on a tremendous show.

haha...one can only hope!

I want a slot on my car near the stereo where I can plug in CF cards full o' mp3's and jam all day long!! That's what a 32GB CF would be sweet for!!

People used to say that a few years ago about 1 gig cards - better to get two 512Meg ones, dont want to loose all those images
By having two cards you could be doubling your risk of one failing... ? If only you had used the one big card that didn't fail... It's called 'sh*t happeds' I'm afraid.

Don't know how many DSLR's can handle that size card at the moment.

i can back up my hard drive on this

yes, but back then a 1gb holds more photos than it does now since files were smaller then... i think the real question should be how many pictures would someone be willing to risk of losing if a card goes bad... the number of pictures that a card can hold is far more important than how many bytes it has...

Agreed, so if I enter the habit of shooting small jpeg, than my 2GB card is WAY too big. That means I would lose 1500 pictures or more if that card corrupted. Hmm... better get out all those 16mb cards that came with the cameras...!

that is what I am waiting for.
Sony has a line of models that accept Memory Sticks, but I don't care for Sony radios and the Memory stick.

Some of the new radios can read from an external USB hard drive, I may consider one of those as well since I am not to fond of the way my Kenwood and Ipod Adaptor function.
