Hi all sifu, is it true that any MiniSD or MicroSD with adapter will work in devices with SD slot? Any significant pro & con? Thks~

depend on the device, some devices will work, some wont.

MiniSD has an adapter to turn it into a full sized SD. I am not so sure about microSD, but I think it's the same.

Drawback? It does not offer speed as much as full sized SD.

Pro? Greater compatibility with other portable devices such as mobile phone and mp3 player.

some won't? at first i tot it is universal since they come with SD adapter.

u r rite, think of getting a microSD for my DC (using SD) and for handphone.

I dont know whether it will work or not...

I have a MSPD and i used a converter to become MS card and its usable with card reader (some not all)....
But its not usable in my camera.....

I think it should work. The only unknown is the speed as mentioned by mengsuan. Somebody need to test it out.

i hv a mini SD with adaptor to full size SD, 80x speed, so far so good, all device read properly, namely 2 panasonic dc, card reader, notebook SD slot.

btw, I was told by notebook service centre that if the SD adaptor got stuck in the notebook SD slot, and subsequently damaging the slot, there will be NO WARRANTY cover.

Is the speed really matters in Capturing Photo? Unless u are taking RAW/Video/Continuos Shot

Yes it does matters..

card with 50X is good enough already for a compact

Speed is important when you want to take multiple shots because a low speed card might be the bottle neck. However, for taking a single shot, it doesn't matter. I'm using a normal Kingston 512MB SD with my S3 and I don't have any problem.

kind of confuse whether to get miniSD/microSD for my dc as there is no definite answer of its compatibility with dc yet

What handphone are you using?

right now with 2100 & 6600 , plsn to get n-7/9 series in future

go for a SD, cheaper

actually not much differences in pricing right now, apacer 2GB SD 60x is rm60 and sandisk/corsair/toshiba 40x/dna 133x 2GB miniSD (with SD adaptor) is rm65

very good price!!! can share you where sell at so low price? thx.

hey
my olympus sp-510uz (predecessor of the 550-uz) uses XD
its an SD right?
but the pics are really really slow to load in my pc

XD is not SD.

XD Card


SD Card

if i'm not mistaken, new model of fuji dc also adopt sd as their storage media (besides xd)

I think I saw in CLICK magazine, latest fuji f40 I think, do use both SD & XD as their storage.

Both MiniSD and MicroSD with adaptor will give full SD.
