What's the largest memory card a K10D can take?

**Hannican** · 09-15-2009, 11:21 AM

Hi all,

Loading up with some new gear for a trip next month, and want more memory =)

Can my K10D with the 1.3 firmware handle 8gb cards? 16 gb cards? Anyone know?

I tried a Google search and didn't find anything- hoping someone here has answers...

Thanks in advance!

I use 8gig without any problems. I have heard 16gig were used on K10D.

Same, I have 8Gb Extreme II's and no issue. I think if the camera can take an SDHC card, the memory size doesn't matter.

I don't know what the limit is.

But I've been using 16GB and 8GB cards without any problem.

I have 2 K10Ds: one with 1.30 and one with 1.20 firmware.

Thanks guys! Never ceases to amaze me how quickly you can find knowledgable people around here!!

I guess I'll go with the 16gb then =)
