Hi, Usually a 1GB card in the DS will carry me through shooting for a day, but there have been a few times when I've needed more capacity, which I now have in the way of multiple 1GB cards. I was going to buy a 2GB card, but decided to hold off as I wasn't sure if I'd need a new card reader for it, and, if I'm going to get a new reader, then it'll be one that handles the 4GB SDHC cards as well, just to assure forward compatibility. I hate buying the same thing multiple times.
I definitely like the contacts on the SD cards - they seem quite robust.
