16GB seems like a lot of data to trust on one memory card don't ya think? I know professional photographers who swap out 4GB cards and immediately download them to a laptop so who would trust having 16GB worth of images, or a full job's worth, on one stick?
On the other hand, hopefully this means solid state memory prices are going down and we can all have 500GB flash drives soon! :-)

On a side note, I am curious to know how fast the memory is when you're saving such high res images at a pace that a professional photographer would be clicking away.
