Question:

why can I not view my pictures on my canon 30d camera after I use a sandisk card reader?

I have a sandisk CF memory card for my Canon 30d SLR camera and it appears that after I view my pics through a sandisk card reader, my camera can not view the pics when i insert the memory card back into the camera. It would say no images on the view screen but if you look at the allocation display screen on the top, it would indicate that memory has been used. How would I be able to view those pics on my camera again?

Answer:

Your camera should be compatible with a 16gb, most cameras available these days can hold 32GB's at a time. I don't have a 14.1 MP Camera, I do have a 12.1 MP camera though. I can take about 2,200 12.1 MP photo's on 8 gb's of memory. At 14.1 MP's, I would imagine you can take between 1,400 to 1,600 photo's. Like the other person said, having a second memory card would be useful, as if one card goes corrupt, you still have another card to use.
Did you either modify the pics, or move them from their original folders on the card? Insert your card in your reader. Look for a folder on the card labeled DCIM. Within this folder should be at least one other folder labeled with a number immediately followed by the word Canon (example 146Canon). Your pictures should be stored within these Canon folders in order for your camera to recognize them.
