am thinking about getting an additional 1 gig card. The 1 gig cards are somewhat faster in recording images, and my camera can use the speed boost.
When I'm in the field, I download the cards to a small harddrive to free them up so that I can continue shooting. You may be surprised at how fast they fill up.
I am a newbie. I was wondering from all ya'll experienced pros out there about the compact flash. I'm getting a Canon Powershot g6. I was going to get a 1gb flash because I like to get more than I need rather than one day wish I had more....but my question is this... I tend to wonder if it is better to have many smaller flash cards (i.e. four 64mb cards) than it would be to have one 1gb card because then you could seperate days and shooting events by card? Am I wrong? Do you guys do this? Or do most pros go big all the time and just have one big gb card rather than many mb cards...
