Does it make a difference in game cam performance?

Fat is 16 bit fat 32 is well 32 bit
I figure you should format your card with your camera not your computerComment

Also fat is limited to 2 gigs. That may be how it pertains to game cameras.Comment

depends on your game cam....as stated above, go with what the game cam mfg states....
for instance, some older bushnell cams will not even work with sd cards larger than 1gb, some will....
some of the game cams that say they work natively with 2gb or 4gb will NOT work with SDHC cards, regular old SD cards only....the newer cards will pretty much work with any of them but if they do work with older and smaller non HC cards, they will record slower and potentially have issues....
if you plan on running your cam till it dies, it is a good idea to figure out what it will work with when you first get it and make note of it somewhere....write it on the owners manual and throw it in the goody bag/box that goes to the lease with youLast edited by blacksunshine; 12-26-2010, 07:56 PM.Comment

Just wondering. I read in another thread that sd cards for the primos game cams should be formatted in fat32. When I checked the default setting it was just fat. Didnt know if it really made a difference.Comment

some it does, some it doesn't...
just toy with your cam ahead of time if you are curious or when you are reading a card in the computer, you can go into the cards properties in winblows explorer/my computer and see what format it is....
typically you can format the card with your camera so technically it should not matter as long as you are playing with cards that it is known to work with.
there is what you would call an overhead cost between the two types when you format a card, but the size it typically negligible to the point where you would probably never have an issue with the differenceComment
