OK, I'm new to SDHC. I'm use to shooting with a pocket full of 2gb extreme III's. I have purchased as a test an 8GB SDHC Extreme III SanDisk. I removed it from the pack, popped it in the camera and shot a few test pics. Looked on the camera and all seemed to be fine. The picture can be previewed on the LCD. I removed the SDHC, pluged it into the handy dandy new SDHC reader that came with it and there are my pictures.Well sort of. I can see the dsc files, 5.5 or so megs a piece, shooting data but no image. Open in bridge to a white screen, image viewer (no preview avaliable), PS (white screen). The data is there or at least the capasity of an image is there.

I have formatted in the PC as well as the camera. Tried it on my point and shoot and received the similar results but..........when I opened the file the first time there was no image. When I went back to the explorer, half of the thumbnail was visible, meaning that there was a picture. I opened that file again and the first half of the picture was there but the bottom was digital garbage.

Am I missing something? Is there a file building time (a buffer) that has to occur? Any one else have this or similar issue? Bad disk?

Any help or comments would be appreciated.

BTW. I can move files in and out of it with no data loss, pc to pc. I've copied music, data, docs, etc...........It just won't process images.

Wait, dsc files? Dont you mean .cr2 or .jpg files?

What camera is this, and how had you been transferring your images prior to getting the SDHC card?

Sounds like CoolPix files.

Sorry guys, It's a Nikon prefix. I have been working with Sandisk and they are replacing the card.
