Smart Media Cards
 

Hi all

I would like to upgrade my F601 camera card from 125 mb to 512 mb. But I am having real problems finding any thing larger than a 128 card. Are larger cards made than 128 (or has the name changed !!!)

Many thanks for your time.

Mike

For anything like this, I always look at www.crucial.com/uk to see what is available.

This is my problem when I look at sites like this it does not refer to smart media. Hence my thought about name change :)

I've never seen a smart media card bigger than 128mb

Re: Smart Media Cards
 

How old is your camera, and who was it made by. There may well be a physical limit anyway on the size of media card it can actually use. Newer cards may have greater capacity, but if the camera wasn't programmed to use that capacity it would be a waste of time.

This link describes the different types of cards in use, doesn't show maximum capacities though :( http://www.pchardware.co.uk/flashmemory.php

edit: Ah dilli's link above is much more useful

Just have another 128mb card handy and swap when one if full (like changing a roll of film only much easier)

Checked every web site, and there is nothing bigger than smartmedia 128.
Looks like the newer Fuji cameras are changing to the XD card, sizes up to 1gig.
Is your camera still under warranty?
If so, might be worth chatting to manager of store where you bought it, see if they are keen to keep your custome, and goodwill, would they exchange it for the later version?
I've been helped by shops in Chester doing this for me, the shops know the age of what they are selling, so a bit of leeway would be nice.

The official Smartmedia site describes capacities up to 64MB and mentions "128MB or larger", but if larger than 128 was possible, it seems the format fell out of favour before it was implemented.

Ah! I was getting confused because I've just upgraded from a Nikon F601 which is a 35mm SLR! :confused: :spin:
