I say go with several 512 mb cards... about 50 shots in RAW or 150 in highest JPG. on the D100

Yeah, but remember those 50 shots are with a 6 Mpx camera shooting RAW only (9.5 Megabytes per image). Add the JPG and boost the size up to 10 Mpx and you're probably looking at 15-16 Megabytes per image, and that'll mean about 30 shots per card. That's hardly enough to get warmed up before you have to stop and change the card.. I think a 1 GB card is where I'm going to be headed with my D200.

But, what I really wanna know is can I swap cards my from D100 into my D200 without formatting problems, or will a simple in-camera format work things out?
