I have a few SDHC cards laying around here, capacity of 4GB. With those, I have a hard time even coming close to filling it up in a single session, while shooting 10MP RAW+JPEG. For professionals, I could understand 8GB, but Toshiba blows the doors straight off what we thought was high-end with the announcement of their 16GB and 32GB SDHC card. Prices should be $350 and $700... not bad considering 8GB cards just earlier this year retailed for over $400.
<table align="center"><tbody><tr><td>http://techgage.com/images/news/toshiba_32gb_sdhc_engadget.jpg</td></tr></tbody></table> Yeah, Toshiba just announced an 8GB microSDHC card and even a massive 16GB full-size SDHC card (launching in October for ¥40,000, about $350), but it's the friggin 32GB card we're eyeballing. Due out January of next year for ¥80,000, soon enough you'll be plunking down seven bills for what's surely the last memory card you'll need for, what, six months?

Unbelievable! I remember being surprised earlier this year when 8GB SDHC cards were announced. I thought, "Well, it's rare to see 4GB, so it's no wonder it's even rarer to see 8GB", and here Toshiba comes along and QUADRUPLES IT.
I'm waiting for the 64GB SDHC, personally.
