Does 2Gb=2Gb?

ahhh...got your attention...
I have a canon SD600 camera with a 2BG card which is capable of holding about 700 pictures at the large no of pixels at superfine setting.
Does this mean that when I get to about 700 pics I can transfer these to my 2 Gb flashdrive?
I think I can but just wanted to check...If I can...that's great?
Thanks
Richard

2Gb never equals 2Gb!

Why don't you plug both into your PC and see what the available space on each is?

I'd carry more of the cards! But, if you've already got the flashdrives, I guess you may as well use them.

I always hate that moment of telling myself that yes, the pics are safely stored elsewhere, and I can delete them from the camera card !
