• Pentax K100d Review

I just bought a 4GB Sandisk Ultra II SD HC Memory Card for my camera.This one:I have been using a 2GB Sandisk Ultra II SD Memory Card and wanted an extra for a trip. I did not check it before the trip, but found that the card did not work in the camera. I got a message on the camera screen that said 'Memory Card Error'. I contacted the company I bought it from and they sent me a note that read'Please note SDHC cards (4GB and higher SD cards) will only work with SDHC compatible devices.

Standard SD cards (2GB and smaller) will work with any device. If you try to use an SDHC card in a non-SDHC device, you will receive an error message (Please Format, Card is Locked, No Card Present).'

I did not notice the HC part. Is my K100D capable of using a SD HC card? Or is there something wrong with the card?Thanks in advance.

I have just bought a Pentax K100D DSLR. There was no memory card with it so I purchased Scandisk 64GB SDXC card.

I fitted the card and turned on the camera and just got 'memory card error' come up on the screen. So being new to this type of camera I returned to Argos to get a replacement card, I spoke to a member of staff who is their 'technical guy' who said that the card was incorrect for the camera, and suggested a Scandisk 32GB SDHC card, this I purchased and fitted it in the shop with the same results 'memory card error'. He then looked up the Pentax/Ricoh website and suggested downloading an upgrade of the firmware for the camera, from version 1 to version 1.02. I have tried to download this upgrade but without success, can anyone help please. P.S I did try an old 32Mb card and the camera worked why is this??
