Hi Luiz, This isn't 100% applicable to you, but I've got an ist-DL with the latest firmware upgrade, and I'm using verbatim 4Gb SDHC cards in it with no problem at all.

While they lack shake reduction and sensor cleaning, both accept AA batteries and would not seem mismatched in my bag. Big question so far: do they accept SDHC cards? Not just 2Gb cards, but 2G and over SDHC cards? Pentax released a firmware update to the DS that would allow the use of 2G cards, but the compatibility of pre-HC readers and SDHC cards depends both on hardware and firmware - so even if Boz' page list both as SDHC capable I'm wondering if any of you is actually using SDHC cards on the DS/ DS2 cameras... and how many Gb. I'd like to go for a k20d, or at least a k2000, but buying a DS/ DS2 would leave me with a little more to spend in lenses... probably the Sigma 10~20 we discussed. Not an easy choice, but I believe I wouldn't lose much going with the DS/ DS2. Comments? Thanks in advance.
