I am not a fan of cards with big capacity as I would prefer having multiple average size ones. I have 2 8gb sd cards and 2 4gb cards, which suits me well. I know that 32gb would be the in thing to have but I do not want to clutter images in one big sd card which would be a pain for me to sort rather than smaller ones which you can label properly. But other would like a big one so that they do not have to worry about carrying the others.

2x 8GB SanDisk Extreme III cards
1x 4GB SanDisk Extreme III cards (not often used now)
1x 2GB SanDisk Extreme III cards (not often used now)
Used the 2GB when I got the K10 then added the 4GB. When I got the K7 I also got an 8GB card and latter on added a second 8GB, now using the cards with the K5.
I haven’t checked the prices lately but at the time I bought them there was a very big jump in price for anything bigger than 8GB (i.e. much more than x2 for 16GB). As I don’t shoot video I don’t see the need for a bigger card. In a single days shooting I have never managed to fill two 8GB cards, but do quite often fill one and go on to the second.

16GB Transcend Class 10. Much less expensive than others, but still in the middle of the pack with speed.

Mostly 4GB, but recently bought 4 x 8GB PNY cards, they have caused nowt but problems, at times. I take an image, see it on the screen, then once it's processed, i.e. light goes off, the viewfinder messages reads 'CANNOT DISPLAY IMAGE'.
Anyone else had problems with this kinda card?

This thread started some time ago, but currently I use around 10 4GB cards, rotating them in use.
Best regards, John

I use mainly 4gb cards (I have around 7, all Sandisk or Panasonic) but I got a 16gb one for my honeymoon to avoid running out of space.
