Memory cards can and do fail. Try formatting the card in a computer and then format it again in the camera. If this does not work, then the card has failed.

hello, the memory card need formatting regularly, but we usually not do that. for longer use we have to format it regularly. your problem relates to this matter or your card may be fall down or damaged by any means. but as you said when you incert new memory card there is a same message it means there is some prolem with camera not with memory card. so you have to go to nikon shop. good luck...

SOURCE: nikon D70 with brand new Sandik ultra11 2gb flash card error CHR

Go to the Nikon site and upgrade the firmware on your D70 to version 2.0.

Before doing that, try turning the camera off, wait a min, then back on. That sometimes clears the error. The D70 is having trouble reading the card(s) you're putting in. The upgrade fixes that.

SOURCE: My Coolpix 4600 won't work with an SD card

once you insert the card you have to go into your menu and reformat the card. reformating will erase its contents so keep that in mind.

SOURCE: New 4GB CF card for E5400, camera gives 'out of memory' message

So far as I am aware, the 5400 will support only up to 2GB cards. As to the firmware upgrade you mention, I don't recall that that has any bearing on the max. card capacity; but it's worth doing for the RAW format support (for me, at least). Cheers and good shooting. Davo, Tas.

Will not accept a SD Card now.

first are you still under warranty, if you are don t tell nikon it was dropped they may not cover it if it was dropped. Tell them it stopped reading cards all of a sudden. See if they can fix. If warranty is up may need to get it repaired yourself.i had similar problem with other name brand camera. i didnt fix though was inexpensive camera. I know nikons are high in price so you may want to get fixed.

When 4 gig. sd hc memory card is loaded into camera CARD IS IN ERROR msg. appears on lcd screen. Any ideas???

The A10 uses SD cards. Your 4GB card is actually an SDHC card. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and will not work with the A10. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

My Nikon Coolpix 2100 Lexar starter memory card has become unreadable

It sounds like your Dazzle is not compatible with the sandisk. Maybe the Sandisk CF UltraII card have a new update software in it.

Nikon Coolpix 4500

Did the 1st card ever work? (i.e. is the camera new to you). After many uses, the memory cards need to be reformatted (thru your Setup menu). Post the make and model of the cards and we can check to see if they're compatible w/ your camera.
