Camera Labs

Ok so im a bit angry at the moment. A few weeks ago I bought a 4gig SDHC and it worked fine so far. Today I went out and took around a 100 pictures and now half of them are not displaying on my camera. It gives me a " Cannot display image" when I try to view them. Is it the card or is it my K200D? Anyone have the same problem?

Try format the card inside the camera.

Won't that wipe the card clean?

Are you doing anything differant slick?
Do you plug cam into the puter or use a card reader?

I upgraded to a 4GB with the new cam.
Had to buy a newer reader becuase the card is high capacity
Didn't know that til I got home and had to call store...fella says
"well you'll have to drop in and purchase a new reader"
Yeah that'd be all good if I lived there...60km away
Until I got the new reader I was plugging cam direct to puter to download them.

yeah well I think ive learned my lesson on buying a cheap 4 gig SDHC. Its one I got at Staples and looks like a scan disk but its really a company called Core Micro. It came with a USB card reader that you can stick into one of your front USB ports. Funny thing is that the computer reads EVERY picture but the camera doesnt.

I just got fed up and went and bought a SanDisk Extreme III 4gig instead. Its a faster card anyway and it seems to be what everyone else is using these days. Ill just keep the old card as a back up in my camera bag.

That is really crappy about having to go back to the store. You'd think they would ask you if you needed one before hand. I think I may just connect the camera to the PC for now on. These card readers seem to screw everything up or at least it did this time for me.

I actually prefer the reader myself.
I have always used one just to save battery life and not have the camera attached to a power source.
The one I had been using was old.

Glad it was nothing worse.

Bonjour

I've experienced the same problem with SD card.

I changed my old Transcend SD-card 2 GB 150x for a new SDHC-card 4 GB SanDisk Ultra II.



Burst mode is now fully operational on my K10D. Have a look at my gallery The Wave Sequence, shot last summer on burst mode at high speed 1/3000. Speed averages 3.5 fps.

There's no comparison with older card, as reported here

hi rei,

Yes I notice quite a difference in the new card. The speed is a lot better when shooting multiple shots. The card says it is up to 30MB's per second 200X. Plus I got it at half the price. Was $80 but i got it for $46. I should have bought this card in the first place. Just goes to show you cant cheap out on some things.

P. S thats quite a thread you had going there about those cards.

this happened to me once...but its after i edit the pictures in picasa, then save it back to the card, then the camera says the same thing...
maybe that is the firmware doesnt allow me to do that...but ur case is different...
im using the kingston 8gb hcsd...pretty good...fairly cheap
