I have Compact Flash, Secure Digital (both normal and micro), Memory Stick (normal and duo), and XD Picture Card in sizes ranging from 8MB to 8GB. I have a total of 18 cards.

The 8GB and 4GB CF cards I use with my Nikon D200. The 8GB SD card I use with my 1080P HD camcorder. I then have one 2GB and six 1GB MicroSD cards I use with cellular phones or as SD cards for my camcorder in a pinch. Obviously, I need some way to use my SD cards as CF. There's a way, but it's ugly. (Note that I currently do not have any way of reading my 8GB SDHC card.)

On a related note, my copy of Aperture 2.0 is on its way. Thank the gods Apple allows you to purchase a much cheaper upgrade version! To commemorate this event, I've been going through my extensive Aperture library and re-working some of my photos with the new RAW conversion engine and newly available filters. Check out my Flickr photostream and you'll be seeing more available (or re-available) as the week progresses.
