Just bought an SD card from America, 2 GB is compatible with my camera but doesnt work in any of them! It says Memory card is unusable (Insert new memory card)
EDIT FOR FIRST POST READERS!
Ok replacement should be here in 1 - 5 days, I am worried though but if it doesnt work in a canon ixus 750, a kodak p880 and a rather crap kodak c340 or the PC then does that mean its the card of the equipment im using it in...?

I know its the obvious thing to say but have you formatted the card once you've inserted it in the camera??
Other than that it could just be a dodgy card. A friend of mine bought a new card a while back but it wouldnt work when it should have. He sent it back and got a replacement which worked fine...

Hang on a sec, this is starting to ring bells.
Did you put a post up before which i replied to? I seem to remember putting up a link to the Mymemeory website. Going by that the memory should be compatible and work fine.
Is it a genuine Sandisk card? i.e. received in their own packaging? Sandisk are normally very reliable but i suppose with anything there will always be a small percentage that are faulty.
Have you enquired from the seller if you could return for a replacement?

nope, was labelled as brand new but not in original packaging and is supposed to be compatible, it seems very high contrast and the label looks wonky but many have sold before and nobody has a problem, hsi feedback is brilliant and he has sold 56 thousand items!?

Have a search for fake sandisk cards and ebay. I posted a link a while back. Ebay quoted that 95% of ultra II cards sold on ebay were fakes. Shows you how to tell. My friend bought one too..
It isn't the Ultra, it is just ordinary 2GB, he is replacingit so i will get back to you all!
How does the camera have a maximum memory limit? After all it is only a computer with a hard drive and if your hard drive is full you can buy a bigger one. The camera takes the pictures, the memory cards stores it. If there is no more memory, change the card. But I can't see where the camera can not accept a higher MB card.
It's all to do with being able to address the space on the card. Basically smaller cards have a different way of saying where the data is stored (FAT16 Vs FAT32). THe larger cards use 32bit addresses to reference the stored data not 16bit. This changes once again over 2GB(?) when SDHD kicks in, a slightly different take yet again and needing specific SDHD compatibility.
