Make sure you update the firmware on your camera, it has to be at least version 4.05 to read a 16GB card.

You need a SD card that you copy the firmware image to, the rest is done on the camera. The firmware image and instructions are available here:

And check the main page that last link came from if you are using a MAC. We had to update the computer driver as well on our G4 to read the 16 gig card.
We updated two cameras and our G4 and did some shoots with
a 16 gig card. Very nice.

The P2 drivers need to be updated on the PC as well as the Mac to support 16GB cards.
