Yes, it's an SDHC card. Some time back I posted a message I received from Pentax stating that they will provide a firmware upgrade for current cameras once the SDHC standard has been established and implemented. I'd be very surprised if the new cameras didn't take advantage of these newer cards. Here is the message I received from Pentax:
=================================== Greetings, Currently, the *ist DS camera with firmware version 2.0 supports 2 GB SD cards (SD Association version 1.1). When newer SD cards with the designation "SDHC" (SD Association version 2.0) of capacities of 4GB become available Pentax will support this new SD card standard with a firmware update for our *ist DS camera. There are 4 GB SD cards not carrying the "SDHC" designation available now, but these were released prior to the definition of the SD Association version 2.0 standard (SDHC) and could well be incompatible with our cameras. In summary, Pentax plans to support the new SDHC standard (and higher capacity SD cards) as it comes on line in the very near future but our *ist DS, *ist DS2 and *ist DL camera are currently compatible with SD cards 2 GB and less.
