  1. #1 Using RED 16gb CF on Canon 5DMKII 
    Hi everyone,
    Does anybody knows how to format RED 16gb CF`s that it would be possible to use them on 5D? I`ll tell you why, after upgrading Red One to SSD module theres a whole bunch of cards left, and its silly to throw them out if it can be used on 5D or similar ones!

    Best,
    D

    The 16GB cards are customized to work in a specific manner when it comes to writing data, so they only work with a very small range of DSLR cameras, not including your particular make and model so far as I know. I know at this point, there is still a very small number of RED owners using CF cards, so you may want put them up for sale to make some cash.

    No, they don't work, only the 8GB did.

    I've seen a few being sold and bought recently on Reduser, so there is a market for them!

    Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
