Coming from Dslrs when I first acquired the original 1D the maximum card size from what I was told was 2GB. Although if you had a 4GB card there was a workaround to get the camera to recognize it by reformatting it into FAT16 from FAT32. If it wasn't reformatted it would only "see" 2GB and leave the rest of the card unused.

So I was wondering if anyone had given it a go with a 4GB card with the R-D1 or not? Does anyone know off hand which FAT system the R-D1 uses? Maybe I'll just swing by a store later on tonight or tomorrow and pick up a 4GB and give it a try. I'm posting from my phone otherwise I'd plug the card into the computer and sort it out.
 
It makes it more "considered" shooting if you have to worry about running out of space 🙂

I carry 2-3 cards when I'm shooting lots, they're about $8 (£7) a card.
