Re: SanDisk Compact Flash card for Nikon

2009-09-13 Thread Mark Secker 


This is reasonably common limitation on older digital cameras
The limitation is that the camera can only reading FAT 16 disk format  
which has a limit of 2GB.


Any CF card above this will be FAT 32.

You can, theoretically, reformat these drives as fat16 (formats them  
as 2GB drives) .


As to what cameras accept FAT16 or FAT 32  google helps if it's  
not listed in the manual


 ...

I have the following "old" CF equiped cameras

Canon EOS D60 released  mid 2002
Canon Powershot G3 released  late 2002
Canon Powershot A80 released late 2003

by dumb trial an error (ie bough the cards found they didn't work in  
one or other camera I discovered that:

The D60 and the A80 are limited to FAT16
but the G3, released a whole year before the A80 and only a couple of  
months after the D60 has FAT32 support.

SanDisk Compact Flash card for Nikon

2009-09-13 Thread Lloyd White 

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! Again!

I have Nikon CoolPix 5700 camera that uses CompactFlash. Currently using
SanDisk 512MB. 

Recently in Dubai - with full assurances from the sales person that it would
work - I bought a 4 GB SanDisk Ultra II Compact Flash.

After insertion the message came up "out of memory" so I formatted the card
within the camera.

Still no joy. Should it work with the 5700?

If not does anyone have a use for it. It costs $31 duty free and I would
accept offers.

Otherwise I will have a 4GB back-up disk; which is useful for ?

Regards

Lloyd
