Coolpix 990 and Larger Memory Modules

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I have a Nikon Coolpix 990 that I would like to buy larger memory
modules for.

Will this camera support 256, 512 and larger CF modules?

Could you also provide a link that discusses how large memory modules
it can support? I have looked and have found nothing.

Thanks

Actually, your manual has a list of "approved" cards. As the other
poster said, it SHOULD use larger ones... But when I tried a 12X 256MB
in my 995, I got a yellow icon on screen while writing picture files.
Nikon said it meant the camera was taking an abnormal amount of time to
write to the card, so I've stayed with Lexar 12X128's.

I use a 512mp card and it is plenty large for my 3 MP camera.
