Minolta 7D cannot handle 4gb card!!!

[Octane69]

Recently i borrowed my friend's 4gb card.. and you know what... the camera hangs! And after that.. most of the images are all corrupted! I thought that a pro body could at least handle a 4gb card... even the canon 20D that came out before the 7D can... so disppointed... :thumbsd:

was using the kingston elite pro.. firmware in camera has already been upgraded...

any comments or has anyone faced a smiliar problem?

Strange, the website below has shown 7D using different brand of 4Gbytes CF card,
dyxum.com's CF / SD card speeds
although the Kingston on has a much slower write speed compare to other camera, not sure why.

I have used the 5GB Seagate microdrive with the 7D with no problem at all. I a,m 1uite surprise when you say it cannot handle 4GB CF.

Hmm... if it bothers u so much, den get a 20D instead? :dunno:

I prefer not to keep all my eggs in 1 basket.

Cannot say like that... just because of storage card, bite the bullet of depreciation? Not a critical issue, I think. Like you say, just use 4 baskets instead of one!

I've tried a Lexar 4GB 80X, no issues filling up the card.

I used to have this hang issue with my Lexar 2GB and it turned out to be card failure. You might want to try to fill up the card from your PC with any files and see if its the card problem.

it bothers me because i cannot use a 4gb card on a pro body that came of after the 20D .. but changing system just because of this is ridiculous no?? and i cannot afford 2 different systems anyway

You have a lot of $$$...

BTW, anyone knows how much the Lexar 2 GB 80x cost?
