The reason people recommend a large card for the Canon EOS 10D is because this camera has the capacity to hold RAW files (which take up a lot of space), as well as a high resolution of 3,072 by 2,048 pixels. You'll only get full use out of all of that with a large flash card.

With that said, if you just want to shoot normal photos at low resolution, a 128mb card should be perfectly fine and should in fact hold about 285 photos. A 32mb would also work but would hold less (obviously). The higher resolution you use, the more space you'll need.

Brenda's right on. I have the 10D and I would recommend a couple of 512MB cards; I shoot almost all my photos in RAW mode, and a 512MB card will hold 70 or so shots, I think, which is plenty. Having a couple cards is great if you're away on a trip. The 10D is not as fast in writing pictures to its card as it's latest cousin, the Canon 30D, so you don't need a super-high-speed card for the 10D (you do for the 30D).
