Simple: I use a 16 GB because I repeatedly filled-up my 8 GB cards during shoots. :-)
I dislike finding I have to change cards in normal shooting. I invariably lose a couple of shots before discovering that the card is full, and it's distracting. But stopping to fiddle with the camera is *especially* bad in studio shooting because it breaks the flow. When the shoot is going well there's a rhythm and energy that builds between the photographer and model. Any kind of interruption at all, even to chimp, can ruin that and you can lose way more than a couple of shots. If the model is interacting well I take shots as fast as the lights can recycle; under a second if they aren't at high power. I have a K20D, shoot only RAW, and I get somewhere between 200 and 300 shots on the 16 GB card. Were I to get a K-5IIs I'd have to get a 64 GB card because the RAWs are more than twice as big as the K20D.
