Sd Card Problem
Hi!
I've just bought a Panasonic Lumix TZ70 camera. The card is SD but when I put it in my Belkin multi reader nothing happens. My XD card was so easy downloading instantly to Picasa, now I'm at a loss to know what to do next, so all help very welcome. I've downloaded the Panasonic software, but still not recognized. Help!!

Perhaps I'm missing something here. Why not plug the Camera into the pc with the usb cable and then transfer the pics with copy and paste to your pc? You do not need a card reader.

I assume there are pictures on the card - can you see them on the camera when you put it in pplayback mode?
One of my card readers doesn't like it if the safety lock on the card is in the "lock" position. It shouldn't matter if you're reading the card but it's worth trying the switch in both positions.

It could be. I just bought one of these - it's only for SD/SDHC/SDXC cards but it works with my two Panasonic cameras:

It's an SDHC card, class 10, which defines the read/write speed, although Sandisk put the speed on the card as well. Sandisk are good quality cards, so I don't believe it's a card problem (I use only Sandisk).
The most likely problem, as VHG suggested, is with your card reader. Early SD cards were low capacity and readers were designed to cope with them. As camera sensors increased in size people wanted higher-capacity cards and the SDHC format was introduced. Things progessed even further with camera sensors and the SDHX format appeared. The early readers will not cope with SDHC and SDXC formats and I suspect that your reader might fall into this category. If you can Google your card reader you might find what types of cards it can read.

Cetti...what a wonderful blast from the past to see your user-name!
I clicked your avatar and it seems you make an annual habit of asking a question every January in recent years. Is that really all you now do, as I haven't seen you for what seems like ages?
I'm delighted to note that you got some good answers here, as I wouldn't have been able to help with your question at all!
Cheers
