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.

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. nick |
