Yes
going on holiday - want to carry extra SD card

just new with the D40 - the rubbish handbook says "SD and SDHC compatible"
but no sizes

excellent Ken Rockwell review says "SD up to 4GB"

can anyone advise the MAX card I can use ??

will 4GB SDHC work ?...................:thinking:

Thanks
 
I've had an 8 gig card in there no problem. 4GB is certainly fine.

thanks - I'll get a 4GB SDHC then --- Sandisk make is OK ?

the card supplied by the D40 Camera Shop is a little card INSIDE an "adapter"
and I dont know/trust how reliable that system will be.?
 
that is basically a micro SDHC card - commonly used in mobile phones. It is put in an adapter so it can fit in the larger card slot of SD card slots.

thanks - took it apart - it's actually an 2Gb SD micro but i get the idea

sorry to be picky but i dont want to lose holiday photos - - is this plug-in system reliable ?? --- or should i carry 2 x 4MB straight SDHC cards ?

thanks again
 
im runnin sandisk ultra 2 8gb SDHC,,, works fine for me!
 
I wouldnt use Micro SD simply for the fact that theyre so tiny, if you have to change card, youll almost certainly lose the first one!

I'd stay well clear of the adapter idea. Just one more thing to go wrong. Cards are cheap, get proper ones.
