By "good quality", I think they mean "one that works in their camera". If it doesn't work in their camera, it must not be "good quality".
I don't know if the electronics used to access the cards don't meet spec, if some SD cards don't met spec, of if the SD card specs are just that loose, but camera/card compatibility is becoming a major issue.
I think every manufacturer should test their cameras and "certify" a half dozen or so SD card lines with their camera and provide that list in both the manual and specification list. Beyond that they could simply say "our camera is likely to work with many other SD cards but we can not guarantee correct performance."
Some manufacturers do this but most don't.
Thanks,
Jack
Anthony,
On line you can see scandisc has regular, ultra 2 and ultra 3 - 2 gig cards.
When they say good quality cards, are they impling the ultra models?
