I am usign 3 H1s to record a ceremony at a wedding and later the reception. I am wondering if the 2GB is enough space for the ceremony etc.? How much time can a 2GB hold?
 
Assuming you are using 48kbps and 16 bit you should get a little more then 2 hours. You could also put the card in your H1 and let it tell you how much it could do. I recommend spending the $15 it would cost and get at least a 4GB.

EDIT: Sorry I meant 48Khz not kbps.

Personally I would always have an 8GB card as a minimum and only a SanDisk.

I have used a variety of cards with out problems. But not buying no brand questionable cards is good advice.
in stereo you get about an hour a gig for stereo (a little less at 48/24, a little more at 48/16). I suspect 2 gigs is not enough. 4gigs probably is and 8 gigs (if your recorder supports 8 gig cards) is safe.
