4 gig sd card

What will M8 users do when the production of 2Gb cards will be stopped because of cost/price ratio?..
Today the price of 4 Gb SDHC is the same or even less than 2Gb a year ago...

I still see 256MB and 512MB cards, many years after they were dethroned as the "high capacity" cards, half a decade ago.

If we're going by theoreticals, what will happen to *all* users when China starts invading its neighbours, making all goods from the Pacific Rim hard to get?

Or a meteorite strikes?

Or G.W. in a drunken stupor presses the button and goes "whoops, my bad" on Russia?

I mean, the possibilities are endless :eek:

I think that it's more obvious that Leica should release a new firmware for SDHC cards.
If not, they are getting money from SD 2 Gb producers for they are still being sold due to M8 :D
 
And since in another thread the G9 is being compared with the M8, can someone comment on 4-GB card compatibility for the G9?

(Sorry for the hijack.)

I use extreme III 8GB SDHC in the G9, no problems.

For the M8 I stick to 2GB extreme III and ultra II. It is too much of a crap shoot with the 4GB SD cards, and there isn't a brand I trust other than sandisk (who doesn't make a 4GB SD card, or at least not a fast one).

Hopefully SDHC support gets rolled out around the time of photokina. Molly, If you aren't in a rush and already have some cards you can use it might be worth waiting a week to see what is announced at photokina.
