Will this camera accept 4GB SD cards?

I know that the physical size of the card doesn't change as the storage capacity of the card chages. What I want to know is whether or not this camera has the SD 2.0 SD firmware specification versus the 1.1 firmware which limits the capacity of the card to 2GB. So if this camera does not have the new firmware then it will not recognize a 4GB card. Does anyone know what SD specification this camera has?

My little brother just got one of these for christmas. It won't work with the 4gb card he got. Soooo, maybe kodak'll release an update, but there's not one out yet!

The Kodak Z612 only accepts standard SD cards up to 2GB. As you rightly point ot the physical charactreristics are identical, its the internal format of the card that defines SDHC.

Standard SD cards use FAT - which has a 2GB limit.
SDHC cards use FAT32 - which has a limit of 32GB.

The 2GB SD card I have allows for 485 photos on the Z612 in fine mode.
I reformatted on my PC to FAT32. The camera took a long time to read the card and the capacity dropped to 250 photos. It WILL read an SDHC card, but you will only get 1/2 the capacity and the speed and reliability will probably suffer.

Stick with 2GB or smaller standard SD cards.

Do you know if the Kodak v610 will accept the transcend 150x 4GB SD cards or any other 4 gb cards?

4GB cards exist in both standard SD (SD 1.0 or 1.1) and SDHC format (see eg pretec.com).

I have seen no evidence that the z612 supports the SDHC format (it is not mentioned on the technical specs or Kodak site and I'm guessing it would be a good selling point).

I am using a 2GB 150X high-speed Adata card and it works fine. I haven't tried a 4GB yet, but provided it is in the SD format (ie not SDHC) I think there is a good probability that it will be fine.

Amazon was selling a 4GB card they claim is compatible with the z612

Whilst I would probably prefer the Adata 4GB [Technical note: Adata and Transcend use Samsung SLC NAND chips] it at least implies that the z612 will take a 4GB card.

I just bought a connect3d 4gb card and it will not work in my kodak.. im dissapointed in Amazon :)

I tried a Topram 4GB miniSD (with adapter of course) on my Kodak V610 and it DOES NOT work in my camera. It gives a message saying that card is full, although there is not a single file in the card.

So I'll stick with a 2GB Sandisk Extreme III, which gives 1000 pics or one hour of video and is screaming fast.

Note: the topram 4gb card is NOT SDHC, it's just the regular SD card, and i'm using it on my hp ipaq hw6940

Earl:

Why are you disappointed in Amazon? They didn't create the camera...nor did they create the SD cards.

Sounds to me like you should have done your homework first. If you're going to be disappointed in anyone, look in a mirror.

I just bought a Nikon L11 Camera for my daughter for Christmas. I wanted to buy her a High Capacity, High Speed card but am not sure what the limits are, if any for cards supported with this camera. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it.

Thank You.

Does anybody know if it's possible to transfers picture files back to the camera after they have been removed? I am using the easy share software. I have seen other cameras memory card show up in the windows file browser and files could be copied, the Z612 does not, am I doing something wrong.
