I think my first Compact Flash card was 16 megabytes. I just ordered an 8 GB card which is about 600 times bigger than that first one for $135 at Newegg.com. With the new card I will be able to switch over to RAW for my sports photography and not have to worry about running out of space. In fact, maybe I should start saving for the Sony Alpha 10 megabyte camera to use all of that space. 8 GB is also 16 times the amount of hard drive space that came on the Mac I bought about 12 years ago. I can hold around 400 images on my 2 GB card, so the 8 GB card should handle 1600 or more. I'm not sure I can take that many pictures in one day without overdoing it and just holding down the button.
