They seem to be dropping quite a bit at the moment. I had an email flyer from 7dayshop a couple of days ago for 2GB CF cards @ £17.99 (around $33). Much cheaper than when I first bought a 2GB last year.

It's really amazing, isn't it? You can get a perfectly good 2 GB card for $35.

The only downside of these drastic price drops is that your older 1 GB, 512 MB, 256 MB cards are now next to worthless. So what do you do with them?

Or you can put the pics you want to print and give it to the print shop. Better than burning CDs often.

Edit: You can also use them to get files from/to work.

I still get something like 158 uncompressed RAW (NEF) files on a 1 GB card using my D2H. I find that with larger cards, I start to get crappier shots, as I realize I can almost "shoot anything that moves" and get away with it, so I spend more time reviewing junk instead of quickly converting the good ones and moving on.

My cards have returned to their roots as simple memory devices quite often, so I just keep using the old ones. I'd still shoot with a 512 MB CF card if I had one, though a 256 wuld be pushing it. Honestly, I only have one card larger than 1 GB: a 4 GB SanDisk Extreme III which was cheaper with a rebate (at the time; prices fell immediately) than buying four 1 GB cards- and it came with Capture One LE.

I wish Olympus would introduce a compression scheme for their RAW files. A 5 megapixel image takes 10 megabytes . This can easily be reduced to less than half that size if converted to DNG, so there's a lot of slack in those files. a 1GB card would give me around 200 images in that scenario - and as the 1GB cards are now so cheap I would now have plenty in my pocket... :-\
