Some cameras can take more than one memory card permitting greater storage. Higher end cameras permit different uses of each slot including placing backup copies of each image on the 2nd card, using it for overflow or splitting the storage of JPEG and RAW files. Typically dual card slots are only found in prosumer and professional SLRs, entry level SLRs tend to have a single slot.
Although many professional DSLRS provide dual CF (compact flash) slots the slow movement of SDHC and now SDXC up the chain is changing that. With SDXC 2TB limit and speed improvements expect to see manufacturers take advantage of SDs tiny footprint to get dual slots in much smaller cameras.
