Just a friendly reminder, it is not recommended to use large cards unless you absolutely have to (multi-hour event shoot with no options for card swapouts). Best practices dictate shoot it across many smaller cards if possible. That way if there is an error/corruption on one, it only takes out that section of your shoot. Not everything lost totally.
When shooting on solid state media, bigger is not better, it's more dangerous because a card fault/file table corruption can take down much more of your work (ALL of it if you're saving everything to just a single card).

I was just pointing out the deal (since dbwolfe had posted it - so it seemed he and others might be interested).
I strictly use 16GB cards for exactly the reason you stated. Also, it seems it's generally easier to find an SDHC reader than an SDXC-compatible reader.
Although the cards give 90mins capacity each, I think of them (and work with them) as "60min cards with contingency".

Right on. I'd rather use 8gb or even 4gb. The faster you get your card out of the camera and backed up on a drive the safer you will be.
