Brand new Sd memory card not working

[AMD001]

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?

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...

Thanks AJ for the info.

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?

Yeah, make sure you get a SDHC compatable card-reader.
They are cheap nowadays ... the multi card type ones works well as well ...

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)

I returned the 16gb sdhc card,I took 3x 4gb sdhc cards,tested 1 card last night and seems to be ok.

I might need another digital camera for work,Ill give you the model No next week.
