Or if its just Compact Flash what is the biggest card it will take please.
I
cannot find the info on Canon UK. Not being lazy just blind probably

It's Compact Flash, and the 16 Gig's work great. I use several in
mine. No other type of card will work, ie.. SD, Memory Stick, etc,
etc...

Brilliant thanks very much for the help indeed. Have a great Xmas

There are SD to CF adapters. I have been using one with my D300. Works
fine. Here is an example http://www.adorama.com/ICDSDTCFA.html Camera
must accept type 2 CF cards.

Type 2 is microdrive, they are fatter and newer cameras may not accept
them such as Nikon D700. Microdrive is a mini hard drive that was once
cheaper than compact flash in larger capacity sizes. It looks to be a
dead or dying technology. Not to say the solution hasn't worked for you
but...

What I was pointing out was that there are adapters to allow the use of
SD cards in cameras that use CF Type 2 cards. CF Type 2 is not limited
to microdrive as you suggest. Just to be clear, my solution was not
microdrive, but using SD cards in my D300.

Understood, I'm just saying it looks like CF type 2 is being phased out
for compatibility with newer cameras.

It doesn't use SD cards of any capacity or type. It uses CF (compact flash)
cards.
