Basally, you are not limited with the SD card capacity. It is an "economic" decision only. Sandisk is one of the best companies for it.

Binatone Homesurf 744 - put in micro SD card but nothing will save to it although it says it is there (can unmount it).
Please make sure the capacity of your microSD card is not larger than the maximum card capacity allowed by your device. For example, if the maximum card capacity allowed by your device is 16 GB and your card capacity is 32 GB, your device may not recognize it. And is the "unmount SD card" option grayed out or solid ?

Hope this helps.

Some cameras have a maximum limit to the capacity of memory card that can be used. Please make sure that you have the right capacity card. There is also a lock (yellow tab on the side) on SD card. Make sure that it is not in the 'lock' position.

Hi there,I was wondering if a 4GB SDHC card was suitable for a Cannon IXUS 4.0 or not? I can't seem to format it?
SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but many cameras won't work with the SDHC (high capacity) cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible. It is often difficult to find out the maximum capacity card that a camera will use, as today's memory cards are much larger that those available when the manual for the camera was written.

When i insert my 4Gig SDHC card into my Panasonic DMC LS2 camera , it gives a card error message , please check SD card ! What do i do ?
Your camera will accept a maximum SD card capacity of 2GB. It simply isn't capable of handling anything of a larger capacity and in particular is incompatible with the more technically advanced SDHC cards.

Your fix is to either replace your camera with a later model or to stick to using SD cards with a maximum 2GB capacity.

I have the JVC above and it requires an SD card. I inserted an SDHC card and it gave me an error. SD and SDHC are not the same? When I did try to but SD card only still on its label has SDHC. To be honest...
You are correct. SD and SDHC are not the same.

Your camera will accept a maximum SD card capacity of 2GB. It simply isn't capable of handling anything of a larger capacity and in particular is incompatible with the more technically advanced SDHC cards.

Your fix is to either replace your camera with a later model or to stick to using SD cards with a maximum 2GB capacity.

SDHC stands for Secure Digital High Capacity. It was a technical evolution which broke the 4GB maximum capacity of SD cards and allows up to 32GB. In turn they are eventually due to be superseded by SDXC cards (ecure Digital eXtended Capacity) which allow a maximum of 2TB.

This model is not compatible with SDHC cards, only SD (or MMC). SD cards, by protocol, are 2 GB maximum capacity.

Please can you tell me if an SD card called SD Ultra 11 66X 2GB will be read by a standard SD card reader
Yes, i t should be unless it is a SDHC Card which it should not be as SDHC cards have minimum 4 GB capacity. For more info:

The older SD (secure digital) cards had a maximum capacity of 2GB. The SDHC (secure digital high capacity) cards can go to 32GB. Devices that support SDHC will say so in their specs and they will also read older SD card. Older devices that use SD cards will NOT use SDHC.

"SDHC (Secure Digital High-Capacity) cards are flash memory cards with a minimum capacity of 4GB (gigabytes). SDHC cards provide removable memory for compatible digital devices including cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players and more.

Maximum memory size of sd-card for canon ixus 40 ????
Check to see if your 16GB card is an SDHC card. If it is, your camera is not compatible with SDHC. (The SDHC protocol was developed after the SD300 came out in 2004).
