I think all cards are supposed to be Fat 16 or 32, depending on the size
of the card. However I believe there are some differences in detail as
to how they are implemented. The internal card reader on my desktop,
which has no problem with cards formated by the *ist-Ds, (except that it
won't read SDHC), will not read SD cards formated by the K20D no matter
what the size. The new Sony SDHC external card reader has no problem
with cards from either camera. I lent a friend one of the CF cards I
use with the *ist-D, to use in her Canon Digital Rebel (D300), she
didn't bother to format it and it created a new directory for the Canon
photos, but the internal card reader can't see that directory, the card
reader built into the HP printer saw it just fine. It's best to format
the card for the camera just in case.

Subject: K7 Frame Counting
I will complain about how remote the card format function is in the K7
menu. I swap cards between several different cameras, and want to format
each before use. I'd like to see the format command a few layers closer
to the top of the command tree in the K7 menu.
Menu: Turn front control wheel 1 click right/ up cursor/ right cursor/ up
cursor/ OK.
It's faster than it reads.
This is delete all images, not format, but it pretty much works out to
the same thing.
Format is menu/ rear wheel right 9 clicks/ cursor up/ cursor right/
cursor up/ OK.
Anyone want to explain why there's any need to format cards in the first
place?
