Switching SD cards?

Does anyone know if I take my SD card and place it into a different camera, if the camera could read the photos on my SD card?

Is there a reason you ask this question? Firmware is designed to look for a specific folder name convention. So with that being said, no...two different camera models can not read the other camera's photos on the SD card.

Well the other day while I was out shooting with a friend, his camera all of a sudden just stop working. NO matter what we did, couldn't get it to view the photos on his card (it still took the photos, just couldn't view them). So we were going to put his card into my camera to make sure all the photos he shot were still there, but as we were about to do it, (still testing some things out on his camera), all of a sudden we were able to view his photos again. Very strange. I guess the camera needed a break. lol So it got me curious if I would be able to see his photos on my camera and if needed, if he could see my photos on his camera. But I now know the answer. Thanks.

What time periods are we talking about here? Cameras can get caught up in writing to memory from the cache but this should not take more than half a minute or so depending on several things like the camera model and the speed of the card. If the card was removed then re-installed it might have been an intermittent connection between the card and the camera. Tell us more about the details of the incident please.
