Largest CF in a 400D

[tinman0]

Anyone know what the largest CF card you can put into a 400D?

Currently using a 16G but wondering about a 64G instead.

The other way to look at it is - how much do you potentially want to lose if it goes bad.

400D can deal with fat32 and the spec for those goes up to 137gig, which shouldnt be any different to 2gig or over. YMMV.

You know, 'Largest CF in a 400D' sounds like one of those pub quiz things...

8F in an M etc.

I'm really not that worried about losing a card. I've had a 16G loaded for 2-3 years now and never had a problem with it, yet when I bought it people said "oo, I had a 16G card that went wrong....".

If I lost a card on this application it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Anyway, I knew RB would have the answer (cheers RB)

Minolta made a lens popularly known as a 'beer can', but I don't know if anyone ever tried carrying beer in it.
