Indeed, as is mentioned in the article. 2 GB is a whopping size, but only for today's digis. As the Kodak 14 MP and its ilk come on stream, storage with larger and larger file sizes will become more of an issue. For me, at 2.5 Mb jpegs (or thereabouts), and presumably in the same ballpark for the Pentax DSLR (he noted, to stay on topic :-) it's not a problem. Even in RAW capture, 2 GB will hold well over 250 shots. In Jpegs, thats 800 pics! I can squeeze 300 onto 2 cards and that's plenty for me. Costs are dropping all the time, too. A while back, a 512Mb CF card here in the UK was between �200 and �300. I bought a no-name 512Mb card from the USA for �135, and a Lexar 256 MB card here for �100. Shortly after, 7DayShop offered a 512 for �155, so things will slowly filter down... BTW, Rob. You were keen on the Sigma SD-9. Now that Pentax is coughing up the DSLR in SD-9 price territory, are you waiting to bite??
