Already being in possession of a nice camera, I haven’t been reading sites like dpreview.com for a while, so the introduction of the SDHC standard passed me by until now (I’m getting someone an Ixus 75 for their birthday! No, they don’t read this website (I’m not sure if anybody does)).

How disappointing.

8GB SDHC cards are not just available, they’re already at the optimal knee of the price-capacity curve, and 16GB cards will be out before the end of the year. And then it’s only one more size grade bump until they hit their maximum capacity of 32GB. Like I said, how disappointing; CompactFlash has supported up to 137GB for years.
