Pentax*isdD Microdrive

hello, can anyone please tell me what is the largest Microdrive/Compactflash card that is compatible with a *ist-D. Thank you in advance for any help proffered.

I have an idea that they will take pretty much any size.

However, bear in mind the following:

1 Microdrives are much more prone to failure than ordinary cards.

2 The largest cards at any one time will cost disproportionately more (per GB) than somewhat smaller cards.

3 If a large card fails, you will lose more pictures than if a smaller card fails.

Personally, I reckon that between 2 and 4 GB is a good size for the *ist D (and for the K10D for that matter). If you need more capacity, buy more cards.

I have a *istDS, which uses SD cards, but I did want to point out that you need to watch your firmware version when you are going for a bigger card. The first firware for the DS only did 1G flash cards, 1.01 added 4G cards, and apparently 2.02 gives us extended capacity (8G?) cards as well.

I'm not sure how big the *istD can go, but just watch that you have the latest firmware.
