Dan - I don't know the specifics regarding the maximum card size for the
C2000Z, but in general, the camera needs to know how much room it has to
write in to... so if the camera's firmware has only been told "look for up
to 64MB of memory card" and you put in a 128MB, it might not 'know' it would
be able to write beyond 64MB, and you wouldn't be able to access that extra
card space. Sometimes there are updates to the camera firmware that can
allow for using bigger cards... I think it won't be too long and you'll be
able to get 1GB and larger cards (for a price $$$!)
