Question:

Do SDHC card readers work with Vista OS?

I have read conflicting info regarding the ability of Vista to be able to read SD HC SD cards. Some say it's impossible, others say using an SD HC card reader works. Just bought a Canon 300 HS and need this info in order to buy the correct type of SD cards for use with my computer.

Answer:

Depends on the camera and computer
It isn't Vista that is the problem, it is old computers running Vista that are the problem. It doesn't work because they are still using USB 1.0 and other crappy hardware. You can make Vista run on hardware from the days of Win98, if you try hard enough. If you computer is less than 5 years old, any card reader will work, regardless of operating system.
