[Leica] M9 & 64gb SD problem

[billcpearce at cox.net (Bill Pearce)]

Not to give the same lecture I give younger colleagues, but you must have 
much more confidence in both the designers and manufacturers of cards, and 
designers of camera software to use 16gb cards. With my M9 I use 8 gig cards 
as my maximum, and they haven't failed me yet. And, jus so ya know, I have 
only had a card-camera problem once in a compact, so maybe I just like the 
way my belt goes with my suspenders.

I find a 16GB lasts about the same time as a battery ;-) Cannot imagine 
filling a 64GB (nearly 1700 shots uncompressed?) before putting a card in 
laptop.

This is quite old
