My 2 cents:

Get several cards at least 64megs or higher.

I can squeeze about 100 pics @ 2160 x 1440 on a 64 meg card and double that on 128 meg card (duh)

Take note that CF cards have different write speeds like Plugger said. (faster is better) IMO especially if your into action photography and shooting super hi res.

I have a IBM microdrive coming as a rebate and am looking forward to using it, like to hear some feedback from others on these things like write speed, reliability, etc.... I would be scared as hell to put a whole days shoot on 1 unit whether it be a card or a micro drive. Not to smart in my opinion. That would definitely be putting all your eggs in one basket!
