Thanks Jk, what puzzles me is that the 4 Gb card worked OK in the D1x until I formatted it. It may be I had formatted that card in my D1 previously and not realised it. I no longer have either of my D1's so can not try formatting it in a D1. Because I have a range of cameras I usually format the card just before I use it in a particular camera.

I still ask myself...why use cards that can hold more than your battery will allow you to shoot? Tom

In my case I want the large capacity for time-lapse, taking perhaps a thousand images at 20 second intervals, OK the batteries need changing but at least all the images are on one card. Am working towards a larger, portable power source, perhaps even a small generator?

Thanks to every one , I certainly do not feel alone no more. " Then something of an oddity, the SanDisk Extreme III 4Gb CF which worked as inserted but after formatting in the D1x no longer recognised. I tried formatting it with the 'two button' method and from the menu. More research needed..." That `s exactly what happened , exept with the ultra 2 gb card,...I had formatted that particular card several times in camera without probs, but then ,..so it can n`t be the camera. I have tried , in both D1/D1x to use bigger cards LEXAR ..SANDISK ...KINGSTON..yet NO GO, so I share Roberts experience in that.( those cards perform flawlessly in SlrN and D3s ). So I am looking for reliable cards that I can count on , luckily I was at home when it happened , but in some mnths. I intend t´be in an area where obtaining genuine / reliable cards may be an illusion. CF cards are supposed to " last forever " ... but which one ?..Hence my quest for Great CF cards. Thanks to J K for the suggestion of SD/CF adapter , worth looking into. As to Why bigger cards , well ... Robert gave a good explanation , and... First , the battery of the D1 / D1x can last longer than a 2 gb card. Second , it`s a matter of getting a good deal ...an 8 gb CF card can cost considerably LESS than Two cards of 4 gb , even of the same serie of the same brand.

I think the larger card would need to be first formatted on a FAT 16 computer...if they still exist...before being used in the camera. My memory may be playing tricks but I am convinced I used a 4gb card in the D1x by doing this. Of course finding a FAT 16 computer to try it may be harder than finding 2GB cards! Good hunting!

If you have a Mac this is available. I am not sure if Windows10 allows this.

Just got back to Spain in the last 24hours. My D1X has a 2GB CF card in it. I believe that this is the maximum it will 'handle'.
