Cross camera pic recognition

If all the shots were taken with either the D90 or the D7000 then they all should be readable by either camera. That's the theory anyway. I believe the manual also states that a SD card should always be formatted in the camera it will be used. That may be a clue that there could be cross over problems. Try putting the SD card in a reader and see if the shots will down load to your computer. Another another possibility is the card has been sitting around for some time and became corrupted in some way. So one of the basic rules in using a digital card is to re-fomatt on a regular basis. I always re-format mine after downloading and archiving the shots it contains.

+1 for formatting every time I have dumped the contents to the HD

Ok here is a thought. Were the images shot on the D90 in RAW. Were the images shot on the the D7000 in RAW. I believe there were some changes to the RAW between the two, as there was a patch put out by Nikon. Try this same experiment with JPG and see what happens or vice versa if they were JPG first.

Joseph,
I was under the same impression as you re readability in cameras,
The card is a backup and will not be formatted, for obvious reasons, and the reason I started the process is because it was not put with others, so I was just checking it out, I do indeed format all cards in camera, and yes the card in question is recognized by my computer, the extra pic taken on the D7k also shows up, there is now 13 instead of 12

I only use Jpg as I do not have any manipulating software, If I can't get the pic I want in camera yadda yadda, plus I do not have the time,
Thank you both kindly for your input, as stated above this realy does not bother me, just hoping for a "WHY IS IT" ???, and I doubt I will be contacting Nikon with this

Not to get off topic, but you can shoot RAW and PP in camera to JPG. This will allow better lighting, color, and exposure control.

Yes I do understand, But seeing as how I am still learning camera's I will leave that aspect alone, 'till I am more versed, thank you any way, Slow learner Tehe

Interesting...did the same test with my s6000 and it can read the shots from my d7000 but not the other way around. It also reads "folder contains no images". Maybe it is looking for its own folder.
I have 3 other cameras and they all can read each other's files.

Hey Obir,
Maybe it's just unique to D7k, I wasn't going to but I sent inquiry to Nikon no reply as yet, I loaned my D50 out so I cannot test it,
Does your D7k read all your camera's???

Obir and to all D7k and D90 owners
Would you believe at 7pm this evening March 1st I received a reply from Nikon, and this is what they said,
Quote:-
"When the memory card is inserted inside of a new camera, will create a folder to store the pictures. In this case, you need to select an option that will allow you to display all folder inside of the memory card. To do se, please press the menu button, then, please go to playback menu and select the playback folder option. Inside you will have an option to display, select all and press OK. After this is done, you will be able to see all the pictures taken with the D90 in the D7000".
