Does Nikon D40x supports a sd memory card of 16 G?

those who know and used it please reply

I am disqualified from answering because I haven't used it, but the answer is: yes an SDHC 16GB card will work. Some people like to exercise caution and use several smaller cards.

I guess it would be ok if I just buy 2 cards of 8 G each (for caution) :)

I think even 8G is too big. I wouldn't go above 2 or maybe 4. After all, that camera will store HUNDREDS of images on a

4G card.

And 4GB fits on a DVD.

It's just that I'm going to have a journey and wont take my laptop with me, and will have no time to search for a shop where they transfer pictures on dvds. Plus, I want to take raws. So... 4G wouldn't be enough, I guess.

If you can afford this storage, then it'd be your solution.

The only Nikon DSLR that uses SD memory cards but is not SDHC-compatible is the very first one: the D50. Other than that, from the D80 and on, every Nikon DSLR that uses SD card is compatible with 16G SDHC cards.

I use cf and I would go for the 8, as cards are so reliable now.

I'll go for several smaller cards and probably one of 8 (for just in case:).

<p>Until the promised firmware upgrade becomes available (it is supposed to be out, but so far a no show,) you can not use more than a 4GB SD or SDHD card in a D40x. Here is the link for compatible cards from Nikon <a href="http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14048/kw/Nikon%20D80/r_id/116678">http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14048/kw/Nikon%20D80/r_id/116678</a><br>

And just a note my PNY 4GB SDHD card does not work in my D40x but my SanDisk 4GB SD does. The Lexar work intermittently so I'm thinking it is a bad card.<br>

I am assuming you want feedback from someone that actually has used the D40x. Armchair theoreticians abound here...</p>

<p>Whoops I meant SDHC and that the Lexar <em>works</em> intermittently! Please 'scuse the spellin's!</p>

<p><em>And </em>I gave the wrong link: the D40x compatible card link is: <a href="http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14291/kw/Nikon%20D40x/r_id/116678">http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14291/kw/Nikon%20D40x/r_id/116678</a><br>

Going to go soak my head now! (This new girlfriend thing is killing me!)</p>

This guy posted the same question and then bought a 16gb sdhc card and shot 300 shots without a problem. HAbove is the link to his question on photo.net. It looks as though sdhc compliant means exactly that; that it will use the larger cards. Most of the responses have been about whether or not to use on and not whether or not they work. IF they do not work the camera may lead you to believe it is capturing the picture but the image will not be stored. This is from a past bad experience. Try it first on pictures that do not matter to be sure the photos are actually there before using when it really matters. (Personally I am going to buy one and try it since the prices are so cheap now and I need the capacity.)</p>
