Ok I kinda brought this up earlier but the problem has not been completely solved. For more info look here.
Basically its a 512MB Sandisk xD Type M memory card and apparently its having problems working in the photo kiosks at Wal-Mart and Walgreens. Personally I think that its more of Wal-mart's fault for having shitty equipment. In any case I don't have the receipt for it, adn I don't know if SanDisk is going to be very willing to replace my card without it (to be fair it was bought Thanksgiving weekend.) I've heard that sometimes this can be helped by formatting the card with your computer vs the camera itself (I have a card reader to do that) and I've also heard you should let the CAMERA do it instead... Has anyone else had similar problems to this? Do the photo kiosks have problems recognizing larger memory cards? I'm just really hoping that I don't have to go through the hassle of trying to return this/buy a whole new one because I KNOW I won't be able to get such a good deal on this anywhere else (I got this at Costco for like $20 off.) Thanks
