I have an older Pentax camera that I take photos of my projects with. I ran out of sd cards and it has been awhile since I bought my last one. I am not tuned into all the stuff so thought I would ask??? I looked on line because I can not find in stores any more a 2GB SanDisk card. This is as big as my camera will accept. I see 2gb cards with a class 2 and some with a class 4. What is the difference and can either be used?? Thanks in advance.

you could download all the stuff off the old cards to archive, and reuse the them.

Can't help with the SD cards, but I got a chuckle from the idea of an "older Pentax camera" needing one, since both of mine are from 1967.

"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

Upon further review, if you have trouble finding cards that small, you might try a larger one (4GB, 8GB etc). As long as the camera has a built-in format function, it will probably work. After formatting, it will show up as a 2GB, but the extra unused space won't hurt anything.
(At least that's how my now-long-dead Minolta treated "oversized" CF cards.)

Both of them, actually. One was my first "real" camera, from the Danang BX during my dad's Vietnam tour when I was in high school. I got the other one at a swap meet decades later, possibly from the same source since the serial numbers are only a couple hundred apart. There are a couple of original lenses plus some newer ones I picked up over the years.
They both still worked the last time I checked, but I'm not sure where I'd get film/processing if I wanted to use them, sold my darkroom gear sometime last century. In any case I'm well past my use-by date for humping large quantities of expensive glass around: current (main) camera is a Panasonic FZ1000, hardly pro-quality kit but it would have seemed like science fiction back in those days.
