G3 and Multi GB Compact Flash Cards

[papa204s]

Does anyone know if the new 1, 2, 3 or 4 GB Flash Cards work on the G3?

I believe that you can use larger cards but the G3 will only utilize up to 2GB. You need a camera that will recognize FAT32 file format in order to access over 2GB.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am using Sandisk 1 GB Ultra II with my G3 without any issues.

Think about risk, as well ... if you use a 2 GB card on the G2, you'll be able to get 700 RAW files on it ... and many more in JPG.

What do you do if the card should go bad (happens sometimes)?
Do you really want to risk losing that many pictures?
I'd rather go for 2x1GB cards (actually, I did on my G2 :lol: )

Best regards,
Andy

Thank you all. Good feedback.

G3 is FAT32 compliant
