From: sauro on 8 Apr 2010 14:17 I want to get some SD memory cards for my point and shoot camera, for when my other SD cards got full when I was away from home. Additionally, I want a spare *Micro* SD card for my phone. Are Micro SD and SD cards identical except for size or are there significant differences? Am I more likely to hit problems like reliability if I use a Micro SD card inside an adaptor? Are Micro SD cards noticeably slower than SD cards of the same price?

I can't say for all cards and brands, but I've not had an issue interchanging MicroSD cards between my camera, EeePC, and phone using the microSD to SD adapter (can be purchased for a few bucks but sometimes comes with a new microSD card, as they did in my case). -- spammage trappage: remove the underscores to reply Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant.

I think "most" adapters should be OK, however, I recently bought a pair of Micro SD cards for my Garmin GPS. They came with an adapter, and the adapter simply doesn't work. The cards are fine, and work fine with the GPS, but since I really don't need to use them in a camera or anything else, I didn't bother about trying to exchange the adapter. FWIW, the brand is Kingston. Also, speed isn't a factor for me, so I can't comment on that. -- Charlie Hoffpauir Everything is what it is because it got that way....D'Arcy Thompson
