SD to CF Card Adapter

[ameerat42]

Hi All.
I'm looking for one of these, so that you can do:

Put SD card into CF adapter, then put the lot into CF slot of camera.

(Before you howl me down with "Why dontcher just get a CF card?", I will say I need such a thing:nod:)
I need to put max 1 or 2 GB cards into an old camera that WON'T take 4GB or bigger. I've got 12s of SD cards
to suit.

Trouble is, the adapters seem to cost as much as a CF card!!!

Anyone know where I can get one for a reasonable price?

$25 on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fotolux-SD-SDHC-SDXC-to-CF-II-Memory-Card-Adapter-SDCF-01-/371567844425?hash=item56832b5c49:g:cTAAAOSwv9hW2mXZ

Ta, Hawthy. I didn't see that place (and price). It seems to be in Ashfield here, so can even go and see.

All I can recommend is that you avoid the adapter. They can be flaky and your likelyhood of data corruption is increased.
Did that many years ago on a PDA .. and threw the adapter in the bin($30 down the drain!).

You should still be able to use a 4G card even if the machine only has a 2G limit.
I'm sure if you format it using FAT16, it will create a 2G partition, which really only wastes 2G of space(no biggie really and 4G cards are cheap!)

In fact!!!
If you'd like, I can mail 'ya an old 2Gb CF card that I know I'll never ever use ever again
Sandisk Ultra II 2Gb
.. or even better an old 1Gb card :p
(but I'll send 'ya the 2Gb card as it'll be more useful to 'ya ... you'll get more out of it).

I think I remember your mailing address.

Ta, AK. I couldn't even find reasonable 4GB cards. Are you coming up this way any time in the NF?

[arthurking83]

Not that I can foresee prior to the X-mas hols.
(but then again, who knows)

Ive got a 256MB CF card floating around here somewhere... :lol:

[ameerat42]

I've got a 1 Gigger, which I still use in this old cam, and a couple of "some tens of MByters",
which sit around looking historical:confused013

I have about 10 1GB SD cards which... - also sit around, now:(

Haha, Rick.

I'll trump your 256 MB card with the 32 MB 'Nikon' CF card that came with my Coolpix E5000. It held two raw files ...
(It is actually a re-badged SanDisk).

I bought a 512 MB SanDisk for the camera. It cost $150+ :eek:.

I've got an 8mb card sitting on the computer in front of me. You are welcome to have a loan of it :D

[ameerat42]

Ta, Farms. The camera wouldn't recognise it. I have one as well.
