Re: Maxxum 5D, 7D max CF card size

From long time research, the SanDisk brand memory card is the most counterfeited memory card out there. 32 gb and above have been found fraudulent. below that are not suspect because they are so cheap no Chinese company would put an effort in to counterfeiting them. SanDisk even had a website to identify counterfeits, that to the naked eye looked perfect including the packaging. For several years Ebay was selling counterfeit memory cards. The Feds got involved and Ebay purged all the vendors who were selling them. Millions of these cards were confiscated in the Port of San Francisco .

If you are using a 4 K camera in Video mode 32gb is not useless but on a 7D it is dangerous to put all you eggs in one basket. Id rather have 2 or three 8 GB.

On my fully functioning Minolta 7D all Ive ever used was 8 GB.
