Jessops 1GB SD Card Problem with K100D

Just taken the plunge and purchased a K100D. Well impressed !!!

I purchased a 1 gb Jessops SD Card but it keeps saying "memory card error" whilst in the camera , used a different brand PNY and thats fine.

Anybody ese had trouble with Jessops SD cards is this in incompatability
issue?

Sounds like you've got a bad card, I'd return it for a refund and get something more reliable.

It's worth asking are you formatting the cards before use?

When you clear a card also format it at that point.

Formatting should be done in the camera you are going to use the card in.

Hope that helps!

Hi John

Tried re-formatting in the camera , just get the same message , dashed down to Asda and bought a 256mb SD card and that works fine !! I wanted to prove the K100D was not at fault . Looks like I've got a rogue card , hope Jessops will refund as the seal has been broken !!

don't think they've got any choice in the matter as it's defective, if you were just returning it because you decided you didn't want it that would be another thing but they can't expect you to be able to telepathically determine if the goods are fit for sale without opening the box!

after all, if you could do that and the card was duff you wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

I don't think you will have any problem whatsoever.

Thanks for the advice

Will the K100D take SHDC cards and if so up to what capacity ?

SDHC specification goes up to 32GB. You can't claim SDHC compatibility unless it will take all SDHC cards.

16GB cards are on their way, but they will cost about the same as a DFA-100F2.8 initially.

Personally I use several SanDisk Extreme III 2GB cards as if a card fails it wasn't too expansive, and I've got others.

Thanks for the info , just downloaded the firmware update that refers to SDHC cards in the blurb
