Has anyone tried the 2GB H-type card in the SP-350? I currntly have two (2) 1GB H-type, but worry about filling them up with photos & video when diving.

I would like to get one or two 2GB H-type if they are compatible.
 
Only 2GB card I've seen is M type. M is much slower, until there is an H I'd stick with the 1GB. 2GB would be nice for liveaboards, etc. though. You could leave the card in the camera for a full day of diving, hopefully. Just went back and Googled it. Looks like they've started selling the H now. Should work fine. I think Oly lists the 2G M card in their accessories for the SP now.
 
Yeah but good luck finding them...I have been looking for 2 weeks...Finally settled on the 1 gig
 
Frankly, if you aren't shooting RAW I don't think the slower (M) type cards are at all bad with this camera. RAW writing with a high (H) speed card is 7+ seconds. This is only a little less annoying than the 11+ second speed with a slower (M) card.

Just an observation..............
 
Fuji makes a 2 GB H card. There are some for sale on e-Bay (straight from Hong Kong which are probably best avoided) but B&H lists a Sandisk 2GB H card on their site for $41.95.
