I think some 4gb cards will work with the S2, however, the S2's filesystem can only see 2gb. There are some 4gb cards from Sandisk that have a switch on the side of the card that will allow you to use it as a 4gb card or as two 2gb cards where you have to set it to "one side" of the 4gb with the switch, then pop the card out and flip the switch to get to the other 2gb.

But yeah, you shouldn't really need more than 2gb, just use multiple cards. It's a safety thing. I can get a 16gb card, but I still prefer to use 2gb cards for my 1D's and 4gb for my 1Ds. Otherwise it's a lot of files to lose if a card goes bad or you lose it.

Amen, Swampy...

I don't want to trust all of my pics to one card. Six 2's are better than one 12.
