SD/sdhc memory cards

atro1

Can someone please tell me the difference between these two cards.
I have a Samsung D860 camera with a Transcend SD 2gb card in it. Can I put a 4 GB SDHC card in it?
Many thanks.

SD = up to 2gb (iirc).
SDHC = SD High Capacity = currently up to 32gb (?).

You will need to check your camera supports SHDC (it will say in the manual the maximum supported capacity).

Edit: According to this: http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/camera/specification/1912/show.html your camera supports SD and SDHC. You'll be fine.

Yes it will take a 4Gb SDHC card, but 4Gb is the maximum. Taken from samsung website

I would buy another 2gb card, rather than a single 4gb.
Depending on alternating cards, if a card gets lost or corrupted, you would lose half rather than all of your pictures.

Sorry to disagree, but ...

It would be best to get an SDHC card, as they tend to be faster (though not always).

You can get a 4GB card for lower cost (per GB). The actual difference is only a couple of £'s per card. As they are now relatively cheap you could even get two 4GB cards, to have one as the 'spare' you so rightly recommend !
