Max size of Compact Flash memory card for Nikon 3D

[John Geerts]

I run fast 64MB cards (and all sort of other cards) in the D3x and D3s and they all work.

I used 32 GB cards all the time

Clever people,
I'm blown away be the high quality of feedback I got in this thread on macro photography of various vacuum tubes, so I'll venture out into a more simple question: What's the maximum size for Compact Flash memory cards for the Nikon D3. Mine came with two 8GB cards.

Nikon's official site says 8GB is the max, various source online say different things - 8, 16, 32GB.

In terms of price, the 8GB cards are more expensive than 16GB & 32GB versions - and it would nice to get the largest size possible.


Thanks in advance,

Kasper
