When it's a 4gb with a 2gb label on it. I bought a PNY Optima pro 2gb card a few months ago from Best buy when they were on sale, I had a $5 off coupon also,total came to $25.00 . Well last night I used it for the first time and when I went to format it , it read 3.86 gb. I formated in my computer and in my 40d and got the same 3.86gb. So it looks like they put a 2gb label on a 4gb card. It looks like a got a pretty good deal on a 4gb card:D I was wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else before? So far it looks like I'm the only one I know of.

You must be a lucky one, both my cards are face value.
