I've been using a San Disk 12 in 1 reader for a couple of years now. However my Nikon and Canon SLR's use Compact Flash and I've never had a problem with San Disk or Lexar cards. I have a little Canon SD450 that uses SD cards. Again no problem with the San Disk Extreme III 1G card. I used that card in the M8 when the new card wouldn't work. It worked fine in my old reader. When I got the M8 I didn't want any problems so I bought something on Leica's approved list and it didn't work initially until I changed readers. I have 3 computers, a G5 Mac. a G4 iMac and a windows machine. The reader and card didn't work on any of them. I'm going to buy another 2 G card (I like Sandisk, might try the Extreme III or a Lexar) and hope it works with my old reader. The little reader I'm using now is SD only. I hate being so wordy on this problem but if anyone else has this problem, I want them to have a little history. Keep shooting those nice M8 images, Len On Jan 21, 2007, at 10:46 PM, Hugh Thompson wrote: > Len - I see what you mean, maybe I haven't had a problem because I > use a Lexar USB 2.0 Multi Card Reader! > > Hugh > > On 21-Jan-07, at 8:14 PM, Leonard Taupier wrote: > >> It's my feeling that the SanDisk Ultra II card may have a little >> built in fault making it not compatible with every reader.
