Anyone tried the 4 gig Sandisk CF card yet?

[LuckyLuke]

Has anyone bought a 4 gig CF card and does it work with the HX4700?

There 4 gig CF card is on sale for $239.

I want to get this card but want to make sure it works for the HX4700.

it should work
4gb microdrive/5gb seagate drive works on the hx, this shouldn't pose any problem

the 16gb cf pretec card works

Cyberguy,
Here is a link on the very subject of your query. A fellow Brighthand member with the handle Stimp indicated that he is successfully using the Sandisk 4Gb card in question. I sure hope he was right as I bought the same one and am waiting for delivery.

Unfortunately Stimp never answered my question at the end of the thread and he does not allow for personal messages.

omg

i think i should sell my micro drive and get one of these, they must surely be a better option due to lower power consuption and ellimination of initialization delay.

Any reviews or anything to compare a 4GB CF memory card with a 4/5GB CF micro drive out there?

So, Gavinfabl

Did you pay the full $10K that Pretech is asking for that 12GB card or did you find a rebate?

even with a discount, its would still be really pricey.

As a reviewer, I have it on loan for another week or so.

I'm not that mad to spend $10,000 , well not mad yet!! :-))
