Has anyone tested the 2gig or 4gig cards in the Xactis yet?

I asked Sanyo support. They said C5 supports 2gig cards; C1 does not. both format the same using fat; both produce identical files except for differences in camera capabilities.

Hmmm, surely ALL cameras will support the larger SD cards - especially if they are all using the fat format? DOes the C4 accept the larger cards? Lee www.xacti.co.uk |

Just thought I would add that the website www.sdcard.org/ gives more details about the new SD architecture and workings. There is also a small application to download (free) to check your SD card is working and correct. It seems that the current batch of 4GB SD cards are not within the (now) accepted standard and aren't guaranteed to work in the new HD1 camera as the cards were produced before this standard was set. Newer 4GB SD cards should be ok in the future but best practise is to ask the supplier when it was manufactured this is what 'Sanyo USA' had to say on the matter:- "It's not a speed of the card issue, but the compatibility of the cards can be differentiated within a single brand based on the speed of a given 4GB card.
All of the 4GB cards that I have seen on the market were introduced up to 6 months prior to the FAT32 standard being ratified. Different speed 4GB cards within a single brand can have different chips within them that render them faulty with various SD products while others within the same brand can be flawless.
In order to exceed 2GB, the FAT32 architecture is required. Major brands generally do not release products until the standards are ratified. The standard was ratified on January 04, 2006 barely early enough to meet the first production schedule of the HD1.
Even though the HD1 is compatible with the FAT32 architecture, most, if not all, of the 4GB cards out today were "pre-standard" cards and may not be compatible with the HD1 or other hardware devices. The name brands of the SD memory industry have yet to release 4GB cards. When they do, I suspect that they will all be fully compatible with the HD1 and all other SD compatible products. Until then, you should consider sticking with 2GB cards unless you are sure that the specific card you wish to purchase is compatible not only in the HD1, but also in other SD compatible devices from PDA's to cell phones that you might wish to use the card with in the future.
