Last 5 years at least. If it takes, any sort of memory card it shouldn't have any limits on the amount of memory that card has. The internal memory is obviously fixed. But just because it comes with a 128mb or 512mb card there is no reason you shouldn't be able to put up to an 8gb flash card in there if it supports that type of media. If it uses mmc you'd be limited to 2gb for example.
The problem with that is that card format changed as capacities increased. Many cameras more than a year or two old can't address more than 1GB of SD flash memory, for instance.

when you say address GH..what do you mean? coz i thought someone just said any modern camera can take any size of the compatible memory?
so modern (5 yr & newer) cams do or do not have max size on there respective compatible card? coz we're getting conflicting reports here lol 1 says no limit on compatible card, another says there is limit?
There shouldn't be a limit but apparently some cameras have issues addressing larger cards. Why not post up the make/model of your camera and we'll see what we can dig up for you. Also (just to make it easier) what type of flash memory it's using.
Is your camera SD? I don't know whether the capacity addressing issues apply to other formats because all of my cameras have been SD for the last few years, but when the SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) format was released to create sizes above 2 GB (I incorrectly stated 1GB above) many existing cameras did not support this format. So in the land of Secure Digital cameras, you have to watch out for camera ability when you start using larger cards that follow the SDHC format.

NP gh..my current cam i say current coz i'm about to get new 1 sometime soon..is sony (about 2 yr old) ..sony obviously takes the mmc ...do they make a high end mmc ? like the SDHC..does MMC have something to compare to that?
MMC is already high-bandwidth for what it's used for. I think the fastest memory in the world when it comes to flash is Memory Stick Pro Duo with it's 122MB/S limit.

We're referring to capacities, not bandwidth in this case. However, faster memory is good, of course.
As far as I know, MMC can be had in similar capacities to SD.
Oh. Sorry. I get distracted easily. If you wanna ask alot of people something; Ask at craigslist.com Alot of people go there, and alot of them proficient in a field.
