SDHC is a completely different card standard that happens to have the same physical dimensions as SD. An SD reader won't do SDHC anymore than it will do CF.

I'd generally expect that there's something peculiar with the internal card reader from this list of symptoms, rather than with the cameras. I have a lot more expectation of proper functioning from the cameras than the usual card reader, internal or external; a lot more money went into the one in the camera. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
