mrmishkin 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Hi Does anyone know what the largest capacity CF card an olympus c-5060 can accomodate? I have a 1 gig but will be doing some extended traveling.. So I'd like to pick up 2 8GB cards. The manual is no help, but Lexar lists the camera as being FAT-32 compatible. Anybody have any experience? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

I cannot speak to the 5060 but I have put an 8gig CF card in the 8080 without any issues. You might want to verify you have the current firmware loaded (the current firmware for the 5060 is v756-81) and format the card using the camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jola 0 Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) My C-5050Z only supports FAT-16 so only goes to 2Gb. But check this : http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/c-wz/c5060-rev.html According to Wrotniak the 5060 DOES support FAT32 and will therefore work with the larger cards.

Scuba_SI 39 Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Aaron, I'd contemplate getting multiples of 2 or 4 gig cards, just in case you have a flood, it would be terrible to lose a whole trips images on the last dive. Although, most cf cards are useable after minor flooding, but i wouldn't rely on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmishkin 0 Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks to all those who replied! I'm going with an 8 Gig card.. It's amazing how much the prices have come down. It'll cost me the same as the 512MB card I bought with the camera 3 years ago. Plus it'll be a great for storage of music in my iPAQ during the offseason. Once again wetpixel pulls through with a wealth of knowledge! Aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mak_Jing 0 Posted April 3, 2007 was asking that question myself earlier since I use an Oly C7070. Was told you could get firmware or software upgrade so that the camera could take larger memory chips. No idea whether that is true or not, but mine seems to be working with a 2GB xD card when the manual says only 1G xD cards allowed. MJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmishkin 0 Posted April 4, 2007 The 8 Gig card came in today and I can fit over 1000 RAW images on this monster! I didn't have to do anything it came FAT-32 formated from the factory, put it into my camera and it recognized and then put it into my laptop and again showed up, full capacity on each. I also followed the link provided by Jola and upgraded to the latest firmware in my camera. Thanks! Aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
