FYI - tech info about SD cards for cameras...

I bought this old digital camera for cheap. Perfect condition. Had to buy a clock memory battery ($7) and then get an SD card for data. Bought a 32GB card half price a at $16. Wouldn't work.

SD stands for "S"ecure "D"ata.

The old "SD" cards are on the FAT12 format and not compatible with the newer SD-HC or SD-XC which are on a compressed "FAT32" format. They are not compatible but any old SD will work in a later SD-HC or XC machine, just not the other way around. The largest capacity old plain SD card I find is about 2GB.

Also the little number by the SD marking on the card in a circle 4,6,10 etc. is nomenclature as to how much data the card can upload at one time, or it's speed. How fast it can record. Using an older slower card in a later faster processor might hamstring your footage or photos.

I was researching this in relation to hunting photos and shooting sports just thought you'd find it useful.
