Forget journalists.  I'm an amateur (okay, I have two kids, and I take 
vastly more pictures and video since they were born than I ever did 
before).  And the difference is very notable.  I use a Nikon D90, and 
between the pictures and the video, it's very well worth using the SD 
card.

On a day where I took 10 pictures, maybe not.

After a vacation, however, it's a no-brainer.

I imagine that in that respect, I'm more like "most people" nowadays 
than I used to be.  And newer cameras take even larger, higher-res 
photos than the ones I'm taking.
