There is no compatibility issues with devices that take SD cards. Although some cards might not be read by your computer, in which case you'll have to purchase an SD reader.

Hope this helps. :)

Your camera takes two AA sized batteries. You can use either disposable alkaline cells (like Duracell) but the battery life will be short, or can use rechargeable NiMH cells (recommended). Absolutely do not use NiCad or Lithium rechargeables in your camera, and you also mustn't use manganese cells (sometimes called lithium manganese).

It just means that you need to format a new card in the camera before it will work properly. Go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions.

You can't. It's not designed to be used as a webcam so you simply cannot do it. There is no way around it as the camera lacks the ability to feed live video to an output device.

I had to re-format the card losing all the photos but I had saved them in iPhoto so that was ok. I think the problem was caused by me incorrectly closing down after downloading them to iPhoto, so my fault and lesson learned.

The H stands for high speed, would check with manufacturer if your camera will support High speed card. It should but better safe than sorry

i had one like this and if i remember correctly, i believe that in the menu, i has an option to format it. I think it was with the pixel size options

This sounds really silly but my cam did the very same thing make sure the batteries work and that they are inserted properly try different batteries and mabyee this might solve the problem.
