[Leica] Anybody with an actual M9 have experience with largefast cards?

Thanks for the comments.....

I guess the sheer number of exposures you expect ( 3200 x 4 = 12K exposures)
does sort of indicate a bigger card is better......

I do offer my most sincere good luck when you get home and start to edit the
work......  Boy, is that going to be a long project!

So my theory is to have, say, 4 very large cards.  (at least 16gb, but
64gb if the M9 works with them.)   Then, on a long trip (say 2 weeks in
Europe), you shoot quite freely, but NEVER reuse/reformat a card.
After off loading, don't reformat the cards until your various backup
processes are confirmed to have worked.

So one wants to carry enough cards to cover all of the shooting for any
trip without needing to delete anything from a card.   (Copy to disk if
possible just to have a backup)   Digital cameras -> lots of exposures
(because we can.)   Rather than carrying 16 by 16gb cards, would rather
carry 4 64gb cards.
