    Maybe your camera doesn't support SDHC or support SDHC cards with such high capcity. Either way , both SD cards will not work in your camera.The 2 sd cards are the same.

    Yes, although most SD cards on PC's and such can be updated to SDHC via firmware. But on things such as cameras then its just what it is.

    Yep, I'm pretty sure 4GB and up is SDHC, and 2GB and below is regular SD.

    Why is it garbage? SDHC cards are great, its just your notebook cannot read them.

    Did you update your card reader's firmware/drivers, as suggested earlier?
