Packard Bell DSC-400 Camera - MMC limit?

[Richard M]

I have the above camera and currently run a 64MB MMC card in it but need to upgrade the storage for my holiday next month.
Anyone know if there is any limit to the card size?
I want to buy a 512MB-1GB card for it but am not sure if it will recognise it.

hi richard on the packard bell site it just says sd/mmc compatiabl so i would say yes a 512mb would work but dunno about 1gb shoudlnt see why not tho.

although it may cost you more , i would buy several smaller cards rather than one big one , if you think about it , if one big card goes tits up on you , you have lost the lot , if one smaller card goes , you have lost a lot less , and that is speaking from experinece

Never a truer word spoken, but, with the price of SD cards on the net nowadays, 1 Gig = +- £50 you could have the storage + the extra cards, besides that, how many pics are you thinking of taking ??? even a 64mb card's gonna hold a bin full, depending on res of course

Dunno about that, this lot took up a 64MB card in an hour:

OK, thats 40 pics, how many pics do you take on the average holiday ? I know in the the old days it would be maybe 2 x 32 exposure films, so a 64 mb card's not far away, get the 1 or 2 gig, I have one for the XDA and have only filled it to 75 % once, and that was 3 full films as well
