    #1 - That particular model is not SDHC only SD. The one Ben has posted here is SDHC.

    #2 Although I noticed #1's link item does not claim to be SDHC compatible, like this one does, the markings are identical. Or to be safe you can go with their advertised SDHC one for $3.36 and still get 2 for one as per #4's reply.

    Matter of fact I just received mine from the last round when I ordered this $6 one and it says nothing on the package stating it is SDHC compatible. Closest listed is SDC This is identical. I hope it will be compatible because that's the only reason I ordered it in the first place.

    I will have to get back to you once I receive my SDHC card. Still hunting for the bargain on one I want.

    Avoid this card reader. Meritline.com lists it as high speed 150X and SDHC compatible, and I know at the very least it is not a 150X card reader (more like 28X) and I'm pretty sure its not SDHC, although I didn't have any SDHC cards to test with. I think the problem is that they copy and pasted the description for this product from another reader they carry that is a 150X SDHC reader. I bought this one month ago, and had to battle with them through several emails to take it back when I found it was not as they claimed. They tried to force me to take a store credit even though they mis-represented the specs. I also told them the specs were wrong in more than one email, and yet here it is still listed incorrectly.

    One more small note of interest. The picture of this card reader on bensbargains is of the SDHC 150X reader, but the link points to the bogus 28X reader. you can tell them apart because the cap that covers the memory card is copletely removable on the bogus reader, not as pictured on this site.

    ledshoppe.com has these for $3 each with freeshipping. 150x SDHC , I'm using two of them right now. 1.2gb files takes about a 1:35secs.
