Does anyone know if there is a limit on the size of Memory card that a device can take? My Cam came with a whopping 8MB and I have just spotted a 256MB card for £80 which clearly I must buy!

I checked http://www.sandisk.com/tech/comp.asp to see if their big SD or Multimedia card would fit me GR-DV1800 JVC Camcorder (takes OK stills too you know) and they indicate that 64MB is the max. Even confirmed it by phone. My IT guy says it’s bollo# and I don’t see the logic. Any ideas?

Cheers

My old Canon Ixus was only meant to support upto 128MB CompactFlash cards, though I never tried anything bigger (not like you find 256MB cards lying around).

Pop into your local Jessops with your camera, ask to try a 128MB card - if it works, hey presto! If not, buy a 64MB.

i agree, test it first, or check the manufacturers spec !!!

My very old olympus would only take 32mb
despite the to55er at pcworld going "yeah, this will work in any camera...blah blah blah"
....spotty oik!!!

It depends on the cameras firmware, which I believe can be updated to be compatible with larger sizes & different brands.
