My brother got an 8gig card and I put it in my D60 and it will only format to 2gigs.
Is this a known limitation?
The card is a Seagate 8gig Microdrive CF unit.

Right. The D60 only reads FAT16, and FAT16 has a 2 GB upper size limit. You can't even format the card FAT32 outside the camera and use it that way. Err CF.

Ok, so that is why I got the Err CF when I first put the card in.

thanks Jon. Saves me from wasting money on a 4GB card.
