Must check but I don't think so. I use 2GB and sometimes a 4MB  card and 
even then I don't fill them to capacity. The risk of malfunction and loss of 
the images might be small but any such loss would be a major disapointment. 
Cards are cheap so why not carry as many as needed before the images can be 
downloaded to other storage media. 100 GB cards are the equivalent of a roll 
of film with 100's if not 1000's of exposures. Who in their right mind would 
commit so many exposures to one roll of film?
