intex Posted December 28, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 28, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just purchased alot of 8Gb San Disk Extreme III SD memory cards for my M8 and Dlux3/4 cams. 1) in the D-Lux 2 they can not be formated it says that we inserted the wrong card 2)Afrter formated in the M8 they are not read through the card reader in any computer. I thought these were the recommeded cards. Any reason why this might be happening??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Hi intex, Take a look here Problems with SanDisk Extreme III SD Cards. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rafael_macia Posted December 28, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 28, 2008 Hi Did you buy them from a reputable dealer? they may be counterfeit You can check with Sandisk SanDisk | Consumer Products Landing the cards should have a batch # on them. I had some problems with cards I bought, ... which I "thought" were made by Sandisk, perfect packaging .... but they were counterfeit. SanDisk confirmed they were fake. sorry for my "worst case scenario" .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canlogic Posted December 28, 2008 Share #3 Posted December 28, 2008 Is your card reader compatible with these cards? You may need a new reader. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
intex Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted December 28, 2008 what is the max capacityt of sd cards the D-lux 2 will accept? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted December 29, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 29, 2008 Your 8GB cards will be SDHC so you'll need an SDHC card reader (iirc many Sandisk Extreme III SDHC cards have a SDHC card reader packaged with them). From memory, the D-Lux2 won't recognise cards larger than 2GB and not SDHC cards. Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted December 29, 2008 Share #7 Posted December 29, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) My SDHC card reader is called a "MicroMate" and has SDHC stamped on it. Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
