Title: pmd 660 and CF cards
Post by: Krispy D on July 03, 2007, 03:10:01 PM: well this is my first forray into CF cards and I am admittedly baffled.

does anyone have a recomendation of cards that work well with the PMD 660?

I found this on ebay:

Quote
Thin, lightweight, removable memory card for your digital camera, MP3 player or any other device that requires CompactFlash® (CF)
# 4GB
# Up to 10MB/second sequential read speed for ultra-fast image viewing and data transfer
# Up to 9MB/second sequential write speed lets you capture large image files faster

this is under $50.00 shipped and that seems way low compared to some of the other 4 gig cards. Is this a decent card? will it work? is there better?

Post by: nem on September 11, 2007, 11:33:31 AM: 8GB would be about 13 hrs of 16/44. I heard that a card will freeze if it runs continuously for 2GB or longer and I think that happened to me one time back in Feb but I was too drunk to be for sure.

ScanDisc 2 and 4GBs here.

edit to add> There is a thread(s) somewhere that covers everything you'd ever want to know about a 660 and then some...

Post by: NOLAfishwater on September 11, 2007, 01:05:50 PM: I have a 4GB Sandisk II that has worked really well for me. Just have to make sure you reformat your CF card before each use. Learned that lesson the hard way.
