I don't need a memory card anymore




The worst part, 1gb doesn't even seem like enough anymore . Maybe it's just RAW, or maybe it's because I don't have this





edit: you'd think for a product photo from SanDisk the label would be alligned perfectly, I mean the finished products are lol.

Don't buy a "huge" card like that one. If it fails then you lose ALL your pics.

I have two 2GB CF cards and that is plenty. I offload them to an ARCHOS AV420 (with a build in CF slot if i really need to but normally I don't (I don't shoot in RAW normally).
