Anyone knows if Optio 33LF is compatible with 2Gb (or higher) SD memory cards??

I have tested recently a Dane-Elec 2Gb SD like this

but sometimes it gets freeze on startup (once on it works perfectly, I take hundreds photos without problems and also I recorded some videos).

My cam has the lastest firmware (v1.01) but I don't know if this SD is defective or Optio 33Lf doesn't support 2Gb cards.

On the other hand, on lexar's website (http://www.lexar.com/2gbsd/index.html) Optio 33Lf appears as compatible with their 2Gb SD...


Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Unfortunately the maximum amount of memory this camera can take is 512MB.
Therefore 2GB or higher cards will not work.

I hope that your question has been answered to your satisfaction.
Should you have further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

When replying, please make sure this email is included.

With kind regards,

I was so close to binning my camera yestarday when I found this site. It has been freezing up for ages and I thought I would try the great and wonderful web for an answer. I had put a 2g card in and did not connect it to the problem. Took it out and put the 512 card back in, works fine now.
Thank you so much
Margaret
