Why Micro SDHC Cards with Adapter is not preferred in Digital Cameras?

[Bhutoria_1989]

Hi,

This question has been bugging me for very long:
Why can't we use Micro SD Cards with Adapter in Digital Cameras.

I saw Sandisk 16 GB Ultra Class 10 Micro SDHC card for Rs.700-750/- and wanted to enquire why SD cards are preferred in Digital Cameras.
The above mentioned card has close to 30 Mb/s read and write speeds.

Is using the card with Adapter affects speed and performance? If not then what is the justification for using similar speed SDHC cards which I find are costlier.

Can some of The Photographers put forward their views.

Sorry, if I am intruding.

Not sure, but i think an additional interface (adaptor) between the card and camera has a greater chance of data corruption etc.

You are adding another point of failure, and when you can get a decent SDHC card cheap I don't see any reason to go down the micro SD + adapter road.

Thanks adityamunshi and Brendon

Basically the additional adapter increases the chance of Data corruption.

The data transfer speeds and performance is not affected.

i prefer normal SD for my camera... because i HATE MIDDLE MEN...

but on a serious note..i havent tested a micro sd with adapter on my camera..but a direct interface between the camera and mem card(normal SD card) just seems better..instead of adding another link (read: adapter) in between...

and as i have no use for a micro-sd.. i just stick to a good ole SD card..

My friend had a SD adapter + Micro SD for his point and shoot. The adapter got stuck in the slot and now he's left with no choice but using Micro SD only.
