SD limit is 2GB
SDHC limit is 32GB for the RCD 510

Apart from the obvious difference in capacity and cost, SDHC are not backward compatible, SD readers won't read them and their transfer rates are higher

SDHC uses a different storage system than SD, and can only cope with capacities up to 32GB, in the same way as the SD format was only capable of utilising 2GB capacity, The difference is the result of the file format used, SD cards use FAT12/16 formats, where as SDHC use FAT32, which allows for the larger storage capacity.

Details of the standard canbe found http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/ (http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/)
