Max size sd card for k100d/k10d ?

Hi every one

whats the max size sd card for k100d/k10d ive been looking for ages on the net but i cant find the max size sd card for theses any one know ?

Don't use the maximum size. It'll be more expensive, and if it breaks you stand to lose a lot more images. It also will take an age to download if you fill it up, and if you don't fill it up, there is no point in having the maximum size.

2GB is a very good size in my opinion, and I shoot RAW.

Buy two, obviously.

makes alot of sence i have a few 1 gb's.

I was thinking about extened trips but i think another 1 or 2 gb will be fine as you make a valid point

I agree, you also seem to get better value for money. When I last looked the cheapest £/Gb were the 2 gig.

On ebay 4 gb with usb card readers are $38 pluss $12 postage so thats not to bad as it would cost me that to buy another 2 gb around here

something to watch out for is the 4G and up cards are SDHC. The current crop of SDHC cards seem to be a bit slow compared to the old cards.

the K10D has a pretty big buffer so it doesn't notice much, but it is nice to have a fast card. Doesn't need to be the fastest in the world, but I really notice the difference between my cheapo cards and my slightly less cheap Dane Elec 60x card. Of course my Sandisk Extreme III is faster still, but it's less noticable.

I would be wary of buying memory cards on eBay. There do seem to be rather a lot of stories of fake and unreliable memory being sold there. If you are going on an extended trip, you last thing you want is for your memory card to fail.

I use 2 GB cards and (usually) shoot RAW which gives me 180+ images per card (I have 6 cards)

If a card goes bad I won't lose too much (I have had cheaper cards go bad, so now I use sandisk extreme III)

If I find myself in a situtation where I might use up all my cards I change to JPEG, which I did today at Shoreham. I shot 1141 images - about 4 good ones. (I had 699 JPEG's on a 2 GB card at max resoloution)

O.T. As you may know by now, there was a sad situtaion at Shoreham when a Hurricane crashed and killed the pilot.

I have learned my lesson as well with cheap cards.
I only use sandisk extreme III cards. 1GB in size which gives 92 shots on each card.

I use sandard scandisk ans they are cheap on our point and click digitals.

Every one has pointed out it looks like smaller the better in this caes.

Ill keep my smaller cards (1 gb) and mabe buy another 2 gb.

Thanks for the input
