There are 2 ways to go.. get the biggest card you can, or get a bunch of
smaller ones....

Advantage to the big card:  It holds more.  At 18MB per snap, there are
roughly 3200 full RAW images you can store on a 64GB card.....But it takes
longer to format, delete a bunch, etc.  and if it goes south, you lose it
all.
Advantage to the smaller cards..... They hold less.  You will not be as
exposed should you lose a card or it goes south on you.....But then you must
store a bunch of cards.  The cards being pretty tiny, this should not be as
big a deal as it was with film.

I am really interested.......Why go big card?  What other advantages do you
see?

What I'm really asking is - what is the biggest, fastest, SD card that
is "safe" to buy for the M9?

thx
