D200 ---64 GB Memory card not working
Jun 12, 2017 14:31:38 #
Thanks. That sounds way beyond my expertise. I have never partitioned a card and am not sure how to go about it. I just ordered 2 16GB cards (of the kind that do work in my D200) on Amazon, so that should take care of the issue for me. I appreciate your help. Jerry

Now you've landed on the crux of the problem: I'll buy a new camera, but I'm too damn tight to spend $50 for a new card reader. My mother used to call it "penny wise but pound foolish."
In that case, and I applaud you for it, you will need to spend the few extra bucks on a faster card reader or you will not enjoy the benefit of the faster cards. Speed is only as fast as the slowest device. I'm feeling some gas come upon you!

Now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit of GAT (That's "Gas Associated Tingle").

Now that I am thinking about card reader. Which is the best one around. Also how can I update my computer to have USB 3.0 to read faster.

Check this link. CF cards up to 64gB seem to work. Maybe your card is defective and/or possibly there was firmware update that was missed. The latest version is 2.01 I believe. It is still available for download if you google it. Good luck.

Does your user's manual recommend this card?
That card may be over the limit for the camera.
The manual for my Sony H-1 states up to 2Gb. But that was when the camera was made, and they didn't have really large cards yet. I found out that it will work with a 4Gb, but nothing larger.
Same problem one of the other people here was having, I cannot find 2Gb cards easily, from a reputable source.

some of the older cameras could only access 32 and some times 16 cards, this may be the problem, but I can't say for sure.

Card readers are available in many flavors and as many price points. The very best, IMHO, are made by Lexar. USB 3, Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are the fastest so it depends upon what your system will handle. For Mac users I would suggest the T2 readers for all others the USB 3. (I'm not aware that PCs have Thunderbolt connectivity). Best of luck.

Well, at least one person gained from this conversation: me. The GAS attack took hold and I drove to Best Buy where I purchased an Insignia brand card reader. It reads many, many different types of cards, and more germain to this discussion, my 64GB card that I'd only been able to download by reading it from my camera. Now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit of GAT (That's "Gas Associated Tingle").
When I got home, I made an exposure in my Sony A6000 and tried to read it with my old reader; I got an error message telling me the computer wouldn't read the card. I then took the same card and put it into the new reader. My computer, an iMac, read it immediately. Go figure...

Good. The card reader would not have helped you anyway. There was a major change in cards since the days of that camera and it cannot write data to that card. The card reader could read the card, but the camera will not have written anything to the card, so it wouldn't have anything on it for the card to read. Besides, if your computer is current, it doesn't need the card reader.

Page 183 D200 Nikon manual
SanDisk and Lexar are recommended. The largest size is 8GB according to the manual.
Technology changes as time goes by. In the days of the D200, there were no cards made to store 64Gb, so the design of the camera did not accommodate them.

The same is true of my Nikon D50 I still shoot with. 2GB is the largest sd card I can use and they are becoming hard to find. You can still find them in Micro SD but not standard size.

64 gb CF cards are not compatible with D200.

The Lexar card is far too many MB. The largest card tested by Nikon with the D200 was 8MB. The new Lexar card is probably not only too large, but also too fast to function in the D200.
