Transcend 4,141,875,200 bytes, 58 min HD-SHQ.
Adata 3,998,220,228 bytes, 56 min HD-SHQ.
Both work fine!

Hi David,

The formatting of the card can influence its size. Not formatting in the sense of pressing the format button, but rather the format options for cylinders, heads, and sectors. It would be interesting to know if the formatting options on your two cards match. If not, it might explain the reduced space on the Adata.

Well I formatted them IN the camera - both of them and in the same camera

(the Hitachi not the HD1)

..... :-)
