Hey,
I've now gone through two Sandisk 2gb SD cards, and CONNECT has wiped them both out. They will work fine until I try to use CONNECT to load data into them, then the software freezes, and the cards become completely unreadable afterwards. I am not even able to format them and have had to return them to the store. Anyone else have such a bad experience? I went with Sandisk because I've had good experiences in the past. The CONNECT software does work fine with a 1gig kingston miniSD card that I have in an adapter.

Also, has anyone else read about formatting the SD cards with special software? Aparently the SD specs require some kind of custom formatting, but I'm not sure if this is manufacturer specific. Here is a panasonic link:
