First of all... great camera! This is about the only Panasonic camera I like. Good choice.

As for SDHC cards.... I'm not sure if the 8GB cards will work, but the 4GB will. Even the official website doesn't have capacity. I would assume, with the TZ3 being so new, that it would handle it, but I can't guarantee it. Best bet would be to call the Panasonic customer service center just to verify.

"will a transcend SDHC 8GB class 6 memory card work with the Lumix- TZ3"

Yes. I have this exact combination. Speed is equal to a 150X 2GB (limited by the TZ3). I used the TZ3/8GB to shoot over 6GB of pics and movs during a helicopter flight over the Big Island last week. The big card allowed me to shoot dozens of pics of subjects very quickly without regard to space, bracketing exposures and holding the camera steady against the copter's turbulence.

For a good SDHC card reader, check out Kingston's MobileLite, which can mount SD(HC), miniSD, and microSD cards simultaneously, showing as three drives on your PC. I also carry the tiny Sandisk MobileMate when traveling, just in case. Avoid the cheapies, or at least carry a handful of spares.

I read follow text kingston web size:

SDHC (Secure Digital High-Capacity) is a new Flash memory card based on the SDA (Secure Digital Association) 2.00 specification.

SDHC Specifications Ver. 2.00
• Capacities* 4 GB–32 GB
• Dimensions** 0.94" X 1.26" X 0.08"
( 24mm X 32mm X 2.1mm)
• No. of pins 9 pins
• Voltage 2.7 to 3.6V
• File System FAT32

**Same as the current SD Memory Card size standard.

So If TZ-3 card reader is standard SDHC card reader it support up to 32 GB SDHC card

Have you tried using the camera to format the card, rather than the PC???
