4GB SD for NIkon D50

I saw Transcend Ultra Speed 4GB SD Flash Media (Model TS4GSD150) for sale.
I am wondering whether this 4GB SD would work on Nikon D50 camera. And I
am also seeking for advise on other reliable, high GB SD for my camera.
TIA. Satoshi

For Nikon D50 owners interested in a compatible 4GB SD card I
purchase a Tranncend 4GB 150x Card and it works fine.
http://ec.transcendusa.com/product/I...emID=TS4GSD150

Be aware that it can only be formatted to FAT32 if you want to use 4GB.
I tried to read it on my built-in HP PavilionZV5000 laptop card reader and
it would
not see it.

With an external Radio Shack($20) reader had no problems with this card.
This is not the Cards limitation just some reader/drivers cannot read FAT32.

Also works fine with my GARMIN NUVI GPS in playing back music, pictures or
video.

I purchased one from Newegg.com for about $280 though I don't see it
listed anymore.

P.S.
My Treo 650 (Palm OS) CellPhone and Sealife DC500 Underwater Camera
will not recognize this 4GB(FAT32) card.
I also have a couple of older 1GB SanDisk cards that work fine with all my
peripherals (obviously older FAT16 format).

Hi,

I am wondering how many jpg and Raw pictures could you take with the 4GB SD.

I don't have a D50 and not sure if they store RAW in so-called
"compressed" form or not, as the D70 does. But for reference, a
4GB CF card in a D70 can hold about 700 images. Which should at
least give you a good idea of where you'll wind up.

I never shoot jpg, so I can't comment, but I suspect it's a
whole lot more. More than you probably want on a single card
anyway.

I'm sure you would know this if you already own a D50 - the manual recommend
cards up to 1GB i. e. it is silent on anything bigger then 1 GB. However if
you go to this site
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/mul...?cid=6007-7905 , he does test
it with A 2GB SD and it worked fine. What will a 4 GB shoot raw? _ i'll
leave it for others, but way more then I'll ever need in one setting.
