[Leica] M8 "problems" questions...

[larry.k at rcn.com (larry.k@rcn.com)]

  Congratulations on your new M8. I think you should always format the card 
in 
the M8, not in your PC. I think this is the safest thing to do. Format the 
card 
each time after you download the pictures to your computer. 

  Let us know if that works better. 

  Check Leica's list of approved cards:

Click on "Know How" on the right side of the screen. I have had some trouble 
with the SanDIsk Extreme III 2 gig card, which happens to not be on the 
list. I'm 
not sure if this is an oversight on Leica's part or intentional.

  Regards,

I finely have the m8 in my hands. 
   
 The fist thing that I didn?t like is that it doesn?t come with any card! 
Just a small 
one so I could try the camera! 
   
 I charged the battery and put an old 512 card that I found at home and fist 
shots? 
   
 I dell all, shot some more, dell a few and in the end after clearing the 
card, the 
camera start to give me the information that the card was full! 
   
 I put it in the PC and format it. I put it again in the  camera and it says 
that the 
card full? I try to dell the photos in the camera and it doesn?t let me? I 
try to 
see the photos and it doesn?t let me? 
   
 Probably it?s a default card? 
   
 Any one experiences any problems of this kind? 
   
 Today I will buy a new card. Any suggestion? Size, speed, etc?
