I'm new here. I bought this: SanDisk SDSDXN-128G-G46 Extreme (SDXC), but when I put in the camera, and try to format it, the camera system gives me an alert that it can't do it and to change the card.

Is there a compatibility problem between the 500D and the SDXC card models? If yes, can someone suggest an sd optimal for Raw photo of the same memory space (128g)?

Thanks in advance.

The Canon EOS 500D only accepts SD and SDHC cards, which go up to 32GB.

SDXC cards (which were only introduced in the same year the 500D was released) are not supported, so you're out of luck there.
