I don't see this as a problem. First, most photographers have no use
for SD cards larger than 2GB, let alone 32GB. SEcond, those that do can
probably afford the new cards, readers, and computers to support new
standards. I believe my camera currently has a 512 meg card, which can
store about 400 pictures. I can't even imagine needing more than the
1600 or so pictures I could put on the 2GB card my camera will support,
and my card reader will read. Certainly I wouldn't put that may images
on a single media of any type. Those with huge cameras that make huge
files can usually afford to keep up with current technology.
That's because you shoot JPEG images. Start shooting RAW which most SLRs are
capable of and you will quickly find the limitations of a low capacity card.
Indeed. I shoot RAW with 4GB CF cards. Most of the time, I only need one
card, but every now & then I need a second. (Last time was when I shot
three bands in one night.)
....I've got a few 4GB cards and a couple of 8's...I shoot bands too,
on a football field-type, and some of these shows out here have 40+ of
these groups. Shooting RAW with my D300 eats up the cards pretty
quickly, so I use an Epsom 3000 HD/storage device to back-up on the
fly...as soon as a card is filled it goes in that device, I *try* to
make it through the rest of the tournament without having to reuse
*any* card(s). Trial and error has gotten my CF media quantity to the
point where I can achieve this; so far, so good...
