Question regarding VistaQuest

wainism · 27th February 2007

Hi,

I got a VistaQuest off expiredyohgurt.

Just wanna check if you guys use sd cards on this? whats the max it can go?

I have used a 128mb mini sd with adaptor and now the card is corrupted till it can even be formatted. tried a 512mb sd and the folder created by Vistaquest also got corrupted and can be deleted.

Did i do something wrong somewhere?

Please advise guys.

Thanks!

*Mods, if this is not in the right section, pls feel free to move it.

Hi,
no prob, Vistaquest cam craze started here anyway. I used a Kingston 512mb sd card, so far so good.

night86mare · 27th February 2007

Max 512 MB , it's stated somewhere in the manual if I don't remember wrongly.

So far no problem leh, I tried microSD with adaptor on it, normal SD also no problem. Not sure what you're doing wrong.

im using 256 mmc. haha. no prob

gangeslim · 27th February 2007

64mb for me too. no prob so far. maybe u did not reformat ur card before u put it in?
i understand that sometimes if 2 folders of the same or near identical names are created, the card can become corrupt

Can you still shoot with the internal memory? I think either your camera is screwed or your card is.

i'm using a 50x kingston 512 ... as for your card ... try using dos to format? .. cos i know some times stuff cannot be formatted by windows but can be formatted by dos .. (or rather command prompt in xp..)

otherwise .. time to use that warrenty ..

is sandisk lifetime warranty?

any idea where can i claim warranty for sandisk?

shooting with cam memory is alright. but doesnt seem to work well with my cards leh :S

night86mare · 2nd March 2007

Based on Sandisk current website,

there is a 5 year limited warranty. Did you keep your receipt?

Here's the technical support site for Sandisk btw:

http://www.sandisk.com/Corporate/ContactUs/

Has some contact numbers, not sure if it's the correct place to look.

Ademius is another forumer who did a MO for it a while back. PM both of them.

Got mine from Ademius, btw.

It is ok to being this to china there?

I am thinking if can being the vistaquest to china. If the people at there do not think it is some weird spy thing lol.

gangeslim · 9th April 2007

Vistaquest is made in China in the first place
so i think u can find it there.
Vistaquest i believe is one of the companies which has ordered the camera from China. There must be a main factory which does all these mini-cams as there are other similar ones but with different brands around.
