It doesn't slow stuff down on any end much anymore and gives you a break on density, and white point and really on from there. You can get away with really being a total idiot in your shooting, drunk. Whole folders can be processed and saved to another format, jpeg, but the bloopers can be fixed first. And the Lexar's are getting cheaper by the dozen 2 gig seems to be the price point norm now you can fit plenty of larger files on a card that big. I've got two one gigers. I think jpeg shooting is despicable beyond all recognition. I take old friends right out of my phonebook when I find out they're shooting jpegs. I've been shooting 645 Xp2 on my Hasselblad today.
