Default C5050 and CC flash cards

I just bought a new (well factory recondit) C5050 camera.
I chose the 5050 over the 5060 because it had several features
I prefered over the newer model such as faster lens, could still
use smart media cards, use of AA batteries.

I tried using a sandisk 512mb cc flash in the camera but it
wouldn't work (no card message). Fuji and Olympus XD cards
work fine, as do my old SM cards.

Is this camera just being picky on CC flash brands, or does it
have a problem with the larger cards. Or does it only work
with the micro drives? (Or could the CC flash slot be
broken?)

I don't own any CC flash cards (I returned the Sandisk one to
Costco and got a 256mb XD in exchange). Except for being
a bit more expensive the XD cards work fine, and are available
in the same density as the CC flash cards so not using them
isn't a big deal. (I wouldn't use the micro drives today,
since real memory is now as dense, and better. The micro
drives were a good idea last year and earlier).

Don't know what you mean by a CC flash card. The 5050 works superbly
with compact flash cards, up to 2 gb capacity, I believe. I use 512
mb cards with no problem.

Same here with both Scandisk and SimpleTech 256MB cards.

Congratulations, the C5050 is a fine camera.

For the sake of expediency, I'll assume the CC card is a CF card and will
address to that.

I have the C5050 too and have been trying to use it more often rather than
using my other cameras. I use Compact Flash cards and Smart Media cards
(because I already have them) and generally haven't had any problems with
the camera reading the cards.

BUT ..... at one time I did have a peculiar problem with one Compact Flash
card. The camera would not see the card. I couldn't even format the card yet
the same card would work well in my Nikon D100. I took the card to my local
camera store and tried using the card in other digicams. It worked well in
Canon and Nikon cameras, but not in Olympus cameras. The card even worked
well when used with a PCMCIA reader in my lap top, but not in an Olympus
camera. Shrug.

I've asked several people who also have Olympus Cameras if they had
encountered similar problems and no one has, so haven't any explanation as
to what was causing the problem. Other than the problem encountered with
that one card, all other cards have worked well in the C5050.
