Nikon will not read images created by Canon.

[Dave in Wales]

I put SD cards from my Canon Ixus 100IS and G7 into my new Nikon D5100 and I get the message 'Folder contains no images'

Puts the cards back in the Canons, and there definitely are images, lots of em.

My TV gave the same message when connected to the Nikon with the same cards.

And no, the cards are not locked.

Images created in the Nikon can be seen in 'playback' obviously, and on the TV.

I thought JPG's created in one make of camera were readable by 'any' other make of camera.:shrug:

The jpegs will be stored in different folders so the Nikon camera looks for images where it would put them not where your Canon would put them.

You might be able to move all the jpegs into the Nikon folder using your computer so that they would be viewable on both cameras but you would not be able to shoot into the Nikon folder using the Canon camera if you see what I mean.

Possibly Nikon nad Canon use different file systems for storage.

Files, yes. Folder structures, unfortunately not.

Thanks for that, it's certainly not a problem, just curious that's all.
