1282812 2012-06-19 22:23:00 It means that an 8GB card is included at that advertised price.

I assume that the 8G"E" in your topic header was a typing mistake? :)

You're right there Zipitty - my typo

1282814 2012-06-19 22:39:00 Yes, it means an 8gb memory card for your camera. The SD is the name of that type of card, to differentiate it from SDHC and SDXC cards. Nick G (16709)

Technically an 8GB SD card is a mistake, as SD cards can only go up to 4GB. An 8GB card would be SDHC.

Yup, its a common mistake stores make.

1282817 2012-06-20 00:25:00 Regardless, it means lots and lots of photos :) :) Zippity (58)
1282818 2012-06-20 01:22:00 about 7,000 photos Nick G (16709)
1282819 2012-06-20 05:39:00 Yeah, well - five phone calls to B&B (not your overnight stay variety), including two promises of ring backs that didn't happen, and a lot of time later, they've finally admitted that they had left the 8GB "SD" card out of the special offer bundle (as per the website "snip" above) and are supposedly couriering it to me. I'll wait and see what actually turns up, whether it works in the camera, and then possibly have to start all over again..

Any ammunition you can feed me in the meantime would be great - eg I didn't know about the SD<=4GB thing before.

I wait with bated breath....... ;)

1282820 2012-06-20 06:37:00 The camera uses SDXC cards. PPp (9511)
