Re: Why does the brand new SD card say it's full when...
Most of the time, SD cards are empty but it says that it is full. This happens because of the incorrect file system issue. So, format the card and check again. On formating, the SD card will show no data.

Have you tried using it in another device that reads/writes SD cards? It's possible it is a counterfeit SD card. Some counterfeit cards don't work or are not the true capacity. If it it a name brand like SanDisk it will have a serial number. The counterfeit ones typically don't have serial numbers.
I have the same problem with the same camera. I checked other sites and it seems that the C330 takes only SD cards up to a max of 1GB. It won't read SDHC cards and it won't read SD cards greater than 1GB.
The S700 uses SD cards. Your new 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While it will fit into the slot, it will not work in the S700 (as you've discovered). You'll have to limit yourself to SD cards, 2GB and smaller.
The lever on your SD card might be turned the wrong way so the SD card is reading protective.
Please turn the lever and try again.
The SD card might not be supported by the model: Your camera Memory card support is SD/MMC up to 2 Gigabyte and SDHC up to 8 Gigabyte
The SD card might not be faulty, try another card, since the camera could give you a message like the one you're experiencing.
Try with a different SD card that is supported by the camera.
The SD card may have to be reformated. You should do this in the camera you want to use the SD card with. Do not format the card with your computer.
In you manual or on the menu of your camera there is a "Format" procedure. follow that and your camera will work again (REMEMBER) if you have images on the SD card down load them before you format the card.
Once you down load the images from your camera you should reformat the card to clear it in order to shoot more images.
