Interesting. The camera's manual (it's a Canon G5 so what, three or four years
old?) doesn't list anything past 256MB - but then it's quite possible that
256MB was the biggest (and 'Canon approved') card around at the time.
I tend to find that if I'm taking shots of things like PCBs that it takes a
while to get the tripod and backdrop set up 'just right', so anything that
doesn't require me to disturb the camera (such as swapping CF cards) is a plus.
Other than that it's not a problem anyway, so it was more a case of idle
speculation as to whether it would work :-)

(I've often wondered if I can do this with my
digital camera, and the
camera will automagically know how much storage it has - but I presume
that because the camera uses a FAT filesystem it'll get upset around
the 500MB mark and probably not recognise anything beyond that)
FAT16 works fine up to 2GB, and you can buy 4GB and larger flash memory
for cameras... It's possible that your camera will do FAT32 just fine,
and work with larger than 2GB filesystems.
