Formatting troubles for a 8gb Sandisk Micro SDHC

This sounds like it may be a formatting problem. Can you format the SD card on a computer? Select Fat32 as the format type.

Get a new camera :-)

Seriously, the Z740 is designed to work with SD cards, not SDHC cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the camera, they will not work. You need to buy SD cards 2GB and smaller.

also supports formatting of FLASH cards using a card-reader.

Hello,

Highest capacity memory card for the e200 series depends on the firmware version.

Consulting the Sandisk page gives next information:
Sansa e200 - verify the version of the player. To check, go to Settings > Info.

For 01.xx.xx firmware (e200 version 1) - up to 2GB microSD cards
For 03.xx.xx firmware (e200 version 2) - up to 16GB microSDHC cards
NOTE: Firmware is not interchangeable.

is the lock switch fliped wrong

Is you E280 V1 or V2? The V1 will only recognize up to 2GB. You can find this by going to settings, info. If the firmware number starts with 1 it's a V1. V2's start with 3.

If you have a V2 place the card in a card reader to format. Format card to FAT32. If not recognized by a card reader the card may be defective.

If the player is a V1 the micro SDHC can still be used by loading RockBox firmware. But note when running RockBox the sync port will be disabled. To use port the player can still be started in the Sansa firmware but a SDHC card will not be accessible.

In order to use an 8gb micro sd, the device has to be SDHC approved. If you don't see an SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) logo on the device or on the owners manual, It isn't compatible. It will read up to a 2 gb micro sd card.

I don't think that these support SDHC. Basically if a product doesn't say anything about a feature, it doesn't have it.

well buddy sorry for the bad news but you better stick to the regular micro sd only cause they havent gauranteed the use of sdhc and secondly our sansa os can support only 2gb by default of card..so dont dream... but the good news is if you install rockbox to your player you could use a 8gb card with ease.. www.rockbox.org but your on your own with rockbox its an opensource software for mp3player and its developed by nearly 350 people accross he world
