Can you use a straight SD card instead of a SDHC in your Nikon Coolpix?

Yes, you can use a standard SD card in your Nikon Coolpix camera if it is compatible with SD cards. However, the camera may have limitations in terms of storage capacity and performance, as standard SD cards typically have lower capacity (up to 2GB) compared to SDHC cards, which can support larger sizes. Always check your camera's specifications to ensure compatibility.
