Brand new Sd memory card not working - AMD001 - 18-05-2010 09:34 PM I bought a Nikon 12 megapixel camera & 16gb Sd memory card from Makro today. The error comes up with : Memory card cannot be read. The memory card says sdhc,Should i just return the faulty one & get a normal sd card,Whats the biggest size available for a normal sd card? RE: Brand new Sd memory card not working - Jughead - 19-05-2010 07:46 AM Hi AMD001 I also bought the 16GB SDHC card from Makro (for my car's SD slot) - too slow for it .... so using 2GB or 4GB cards ... It all depends on whether the Nikon model is able to use SDHC cards ... Post the model # and will try to search whether it's compatible ... (it should also state this in the manual or on the box??? ) Only 12 MegaPixel Nikon Camera's on Makro I found were: Nikon L110 Ultra Zoom Camera Internal Memory (approx. 43MB); SD (Secure Digital) memory cards, some SDHC Memory cards approved for use. Nikon D5000 Twin VR Kit The D5000 uses SD/SDHC memory media Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera SD (Secure Digital) memory cards, SDHC-compliant Good website for Digital Camera Reviews is www.dpreview.com Also, sometimes there are maximum size SD/SDHC cards specifications per camera ... I've found that the easily available/cheaper/bigger sized SD cards are a bit slower ... so check for higher speed cards ... Mmm ... I think somewhere in the Forum someone mentioned (me think's it's Carn) has a "connection" with Digital Camera's as well !!! ..."...The memory card says sdhc,Should i just return the faulty one & get a normal sd card,Whats the biggest size available for a normal sd card?..."... Should i just return the faulty one & get a normal sd card? If it's faulty/not working/Compatable ... then yes, return it. Whats the biggest size available for a normal sd card? according to sdcard.org max size for SD is up to 2GB PS!!! You can never have "more than enough" SD/Memory Cards for digital camera's same as you can never have enough MF's for Auto Detailing...

I bought the coolpix L22.I read the manual & it says that it is sdhc compatible.Its a basic camera with no fancy features,So i think im gna return the faulty card & get a few normal sd cards. I read on the net that some sdhc cards do not work in some card readers,So ill play it safe & get the normal ones. What is a SLR camera?

I aint a digital camera / photography expert ... so here goes ... ..."... I read on the net that some sdhc cards do not work in some card readers,So ill play it safe & get the normal ones. ..."... Yeah, make sure you get a SDHC compatable card-reader. They are cheap nowadays ... the multi card type ones works well as well ... What is a SLR camera? SLR = Single-lens reflex D-SLR Digital single-lens reflex more info on than I would recommend on the internet ... RE: Brand new Sd memory card not working - Carn - 19-05-2010 07:29 PM Can't be of any assistance with the SDHC cards I'm afraid...Sorry! If you wanting camera's and things I have 2 or 3 guys I know who can get them. Sometimes the prices are better, sometimes worse. (and yes, it's all above board with officially imported products with full warrantee's, etc) RE: Brand new Sd memory card not working - AMD001 - 20-05-2010 11:13 AM (19-05-2010 07:29 PM)Carn Wrote: Can't be of any assistance with the SDHC cards I'm afraid...Sorry!
