Indeed. My panasonic DMC-FZ8 digicam warns me not to use anything but
SDHC over 2GB. I bought this:
http://www.transcendusa.com/Press/index.asp?LangNo=0&PrsNo=626&axn=Detail

SD = version 1.01 or 1.1 = Fat 16
SDHC = version 2.0 = Fat 32   and they're faster too.

Needless to say, the SDHC card cannot be read in the standard slot on
Myonix; it seems as though you may be taking a risk with anything SD over
1GB in terms of readability.
