Rep Power: 37   |  8GB microSD in 4GB camera £17 from amazon Amazon.co.uk: SanDisk - Flash memory card 8 GB - Class 4 - microSDHC with MobileMate Micro Reader: Electronics & Photo (at the weekend pissy world wanted £89 for the same item, and then incorrectly proceeded to tell me that amazon didn't count in their 'price match promise') I now realise that I may have mad a mistake because my camera only supports max 4GB sd and my aging Nokia only supports 2GB. So the question is... will the camera/telephone be able to use the 4GB and 2GB respectively? if I partition the disk will be recognised? any advice appreciated |

Rep Power: 7  | If your devices don't say they support SD HC (the HC - High Capacity is the important bit, as the hardware on the cards is different) then they most likely won't see them at all. Steve |

Rep Power: 37 | Thanks chaps, I hadn't realised the significance of SDHC which the camera does support. Also my mistake was mixing up a 4GB limit on movie filesize (.. a FAT partition filesize limit) with the maximum storage capacity size. |
