512MB Viking SD Card in e200?

[Guest tomwright]

Before buying my SD card I did a search through the threads and found several people had successfully used the Viking 512MB card in their e200, so I went ahead and bought one. However sadly, the one I have received doesn't work (can't write to the card). I was just wondering if anyone else had problems with this card, or whether perhaps my card is just faulty?

Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom

Is there a switch on the side ?

This may be stopping you writing to it

[Guest tomwright]

Thanks for the suggestion, but yeah, tried it with the switch in both positions to no avail. It's strange, because it seems to be writing to the card for a second, but then dies. :)

i have the same problem with the same card.. iam yet to find a way around it.. i have to use my Palm Pilot or my laptop to write to it.. let me know if you work it out..

if its a multi cell sd card they dont work, aprently, in the e200. you will need to ask viking though to find out if it is single/multi cell

[Guest tomwright]

According to Viking, it is indeed a Multi-Cell card, and they say that they have no Single Cell card of 512MB. I can't understand how it would work for some people and not others. Oh well, going to return it to eBuyer and get a new one - does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Read up my friend!

Right - have finally managed to get my refund from eBuyer for this damn SD Card, and am ready to buy another...

Can anyone recomend a 512MB SD card which will work in the e200?

Thanks!

SanDisk single layer. Every time :)

Dane-elec alot cheaper than Sandisc and in my opinion alot better. had no end of probs with my Sandisc 256 in my E200 it had the "i'll switch off when i feeel like it" problem and I've never had to reinsert my Dane-lec since I've had it and seems alot quicker at movie transfer from pc to card.

Hope this helps :wink:

Have to say, I'm still down like a mo fo' with the Transcend card from Offtek. Still working like a good'un in my Exm-20 camera and e200, and the price is pretty good for a definite single layer card...
