Anyone looking to add some memory to your arsenal of camera equipment may want to look at B&H's site. Big rebates, some more than 50% off are going on through the 11th of october. (San Disc CF cards only)
 
Can anyone verify that the mighty Drebel XT / 350-D can accommodate one of those 16G monsters? A quick search suggests it, but I can't find positive confirmation.

TY
 
The camera will handle up to a 32gb CF but I'm pretty sure it will only format up to 8gb on the camera itself. You can, of course, format your card on your computer.
Anyone know about the formatting?
 
The Rebel does both erasing and formatting, as far as I have seen on my XTi.

Formatting:
Setting up the necessary tablles used to account for the files one puts on a card.

Erasure:
Removing or zeroing out the binary information encoded onto a card.

Erase; then format.
In that order.
That is what I do with any mem card.
Maybe that is overkill - I dunno...
 
Yes, but will it erase / format on a card over 8gb. That's my question. I'm still researching it and not finding anything about it. Oh well, on to other things...
 
If you are dealing with a Canon - send a note from their web site to the tech support. Those guys are really fast - you will probably get an answer within 1-2 hours.
I did for a different question only a week ago - wham - bang!.
