Just want to ask how much memory is left on several CF cards of different memory values after they are formated:

(1) 64MB -> ?
(2) 128MB -> ?
(3) 256MB -> ?

64Mb = 61.2Mb
256Mb = 243Mb

After formatting on a Canon ixus(s)400

regards.

The camera you use doesn't have any effect on the result of formatting your CF-cards.
The CF-card manufacturers use 1.000.000 bytes for a meg instead of 1.048.576 the way it should be. So the 32 Mb CF-card in fact is 32 x 1.000.000/1.048.576 = 30.52 Mb, and therefore 64 Mb = 61.04 and 128 Mb = 122.07.
