My 4 Gig card arrived today (thanks Birdy!), and I got to thinking about my CF card collection.
First card for the G3 in '03 - 256 Mb
So now I have
256 Mb
512 Mb
1 Gig
2 Gig
4 Gig
and amazingly, they all cost a similar amount!
(Edit - date for the G3)

Next one will be the 8Gb and then next is 16Gb.

And then followed by the almighty 32gb's that Samsung are sticking in their CF-run lappies!

I want to show off the 32Gb CF cards at the mini meet, but I couldn't, they are off to Williamstown in an overnight bag this afternoon. Yes, they're with full Mil. spec and its label starts with the letter B but they were ex-Transcend and specially purpose-build for the military. Birddog114

Correct! I may keep one for myself as my toy next time when the bulk order arrived. Birddog114

Thanh,
This raises an interesting question: what sort of support do the lower end cameras - D50/D70/300D/350D - have for these cards? Given that the expected count of raw images is in the vicinty of 6000+, and jpgts will have a significantly higher count, I'm wondering how the top panel counter of these cameras will cope with these sorts of previously unimaginable numbers. g.

Would I be niaive in saying that wouldn't it be just a case of putting a K after the expected no. of images per card? I.e 10,000 images = 10k? Geoff

The D70 puts a K in the top LCD of more than 1000 shots capacity remaining in the card

The potential issue here relates to the number before the K. How many digits in the 70's counter?
MAybe the camera needs some special K? g.

3, although it reports to 1 decimal place, e.g. 1.1K. So theoretically you could have just shy of 100 K photos. Small basic jpg gives me 7.5K shots on a 2 GB card, so a 32 GB card should give you 120 K.  Doesn't FAT32 only go up to 32 GB anyway though?
On the D2x, it showed 1.6k, RAW uncompressed with the 32Gb card.
I didn't have the D70 and D200, so I couldn't tell. I believe, these type of cards will support all the modern DSLR, in frame counting, it may not reflect the correct number of photos on the D70 or Canon 300D or 350D. On the other hand, we only need two of this card for our "Long Range Patrol" with the D2x or Canon 1Ds MKII, you can imagine if you are going to shoot 3.2K of NEF and it will take you age to PP them. The cards which I had in my hand was built with Mil. Spec. The manufacturer guaranteed with the wording: "Non Destructive" and it has been tested hardly under many severe conditions as heat, cold, water, high altitude, G force etc... They are third lot of prototype (CF cards) for testing and evaluation. The standard version (non Mil. spec) is now going to supply to OEM only. The 16Gb is on the horizon and I expect to see it by the last quarter of this 06 or early 07. Birddog114

32GB sounds nice. Any special deal for those coming to the mini-meet??
Considering the S3 has 25MB RAW files, I'd love a 32GB CF card. Andrew
Canon make photocopiers and stick lenses on them....
Padey, Sorry, not at this stage. 32Gb CF card is now only solely for OEM. Birddog114

OK, somebody has to say it........ Have they been tested in Wendell's camera? Greg - - - - D200 etc

OK...anyone got a smaller capacity card than my 8 Mb card?
At work we have a device which will not operate with anything apart from a 32 Mb card. We will probably be stuffed if that card ever dies because AFAIK they don't make them anymore (Ebay here we come..)
skimming through the thread I missed something - these 32gig CF cards are OEM for what? Hate to see the price tag on those when they come out!

These are for OEM, means only supplied to major system builder as Samsung, IBM, Dell, Toshiba, Boeing, etc.... No, its price tag is very well fitted into our budget as the 8Gb and 16Gb card (Soon released 16Gb). It won't fit to few people , who has so many excuses. Birddog114

If we got really radical with an idea like this, it's likely that the card would survive but not the camera. Producer & Editor @ GadgetGuy.com.au
