SD Card We can't find an SD card that it will read. Says it has to be a "certified" card. Did anyone purchase a card and can tell me what brand? Thanks!

haven't looked into that yet but i will be taking the camera to a friend of mine that works at a local ritz camera shop. i am hoping he will be knowlege able enought to figure out which memory card can be used.failing that i would think going to the cameras official website "should" provide the info or maybe a link to cantact them and ask questions.i know pc magazine also has a help section.. they might know

Thanks for the reply. We actually ended up returning the camera to FP after calling the help center and trying different cards. The card reader must have been broken, because the replacement camera they sent us, read all the cards we had tried in the old one... FP did send the new camera with no problem.

Boris...I found your comments helpful. I got the 8GB Zen about a month ago. I really like it. My biggest qualm is the SD card. I find that the player freezes very often when I play from the SD card...especially when I play video. I've had no such issues when playing off the internal memory. I got a generic SD card brand. I noticed that the product page on the creative web site has a compatible list of memory cards... should i stick to them to minimize the 'freezing' incidents ? I am interested to know what brand you are using. thanks in advance.

If it's an old SD (only) memory card, that may not be working. Try the newer SDHC ones.

Thanks! Another silly question, does SD card mean the San Disk Camera? I want to take her present out of the package and get it all set up so all she needs to do is open it and it is ready to go (but I also want to make sure it works)Julianne

Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the SD card to be recognized. Some SD cards don't work. Try a different SD card brand and also unplug and also take the batteries out. The unit resets, and you should be good to go.

Same thing happens to me!!?!?!? I'm trying to return the newest SD card I purchased. The camera works fine with one of my older SD cards.

Same issue with my Sony cam. Get the error message but I continue and use it, in spite of the error message. Works OK but is quite irritating. Haven't had the failure yet, hope i don't. Seems Sony has a proprietary card format, and as you probably know they are very proud of their cards. (expensive) I would suggest that you bite the bullet and pay the Sony price to ensure you don't have a camera failure.Good luck with your issue!

I don't know. My first guess would be: Is the card firmly in the slot? Is the card any good? Is the card locked? (Little tab thingie on the side.) Can you read the card on your or any other computer? Are you feeding the pictures picture side up? Have you plugged in a usb cable and seen if it even scans? Does the unit even power up as per the instruction sheet?

SanDisk stands behind their products. Contact them. To me it sounds like a problem with your card reader rather than the card.

I've used Sandisc sd cards and they work fine, but I don't think it makes much difference as to what brand you use. It won't scan without a card inserted.

bem is quite correct, AliKat. I have a Razr V3m (brand new), and tried to use a Kingston microSD card. The phone wouldn't recognize the card at all. I tried the same card on my PC with a USB card reader, and it worked fine, so the card isn't defective. Going to buy the Sandisk brand card-- seems unanimous that this is the brand that works.

I bought a random SD card and it didn't work so I got the SanDisk microSD adapter with the SanDisk 4GB. I bought it at Walgreens. Hope this helps!

I have been using a Sandisk 4GB SDHC (class 2 speed), and a Sandisk 8GB SDHC Extreme III (class 6 speed) with this camera and both seem to work fine. I've noticed that some retailers claim in their "specifications" sections that this camera can only use cards up to 2GB (not SDHC), but I haven't found this to be the case. I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to get the full 4-8GB storage capacity out of my cards, but compatibility hasn't been a problem. Hope this info helps.

I've had the same problem. I don't have the patience to call tech support so I just bought new SD cards. Each time it fixed the problem. Not ideal due to cost but it works.

You can only use SDHC cards in this...I agree that it sounds like you tried to insert a different card....I would be very careful in trying to extract it. I have had no problems with this using my card.

SD Card reader? Mine did not. But you have to check the specs closely. I ordered mine from Dell direct.They're built slightly differently depending on vendor, stock, etc. Try Dell direct for comparison. Maybe you can have 1 built to spec and get as good or better deal
