did anyone use micro sd card with a standard sd card adapter to use it on the dslr. I want to know is there any concern. I have the 32g micro sd card not using. and I want to make use of it.
my camera is nikon d5100, I mostly shoot in raw.
thanks.

It will work, but the write speeds are usually slow but if you aren't shooting action shots that require 5 or 6 fps speeds and you shoot continuously for many frames you'll be ok.

I will go to a trip for 18 days, and my 16g class 10 card might not be enough, therefore I just want to see what is my option, I will test it tonight, thanks for your info.

It works great actually. I do lots of insurance work and use the micro SD with an adapter in my Nikon D800's regularly so I can pop it into my tablet and upload to the insurance company onsite.

I use a 32GB Sandisk Class 10 MicroSD with 45MB/S speed, it works as good as the standard SDHC version of the same card, no slow down to write speed at all.

I use that set up often. Convenient to insert the Micro SD into my tablet.

No matter what card you use, you should format it IN the camera. The camera sets up its directory structure a little differently than a PC does, even though the PC can read it afterward.

thanks.

If you want a caveat, then I think that you may only need to be aware that when you go to remove your SD card 'adapter' that you may only grasp the Micro SD card (the first time, at least) ...

So, a minimal amount of thought may be necessary ...

OR, you could certainly leave the SD card adapter in-the-camera.

Format the card in the Nikon. That's what you're "writing" to the card with. You can "read" it with any device.

I did what you said and it is perfect.
Thanks for all the support from all of you.
from the 32g card I have 862 shoots, and also with my 16g card, I should be fine for my trip.

I have a Samsung 3 8 inch. I had a 10.1 but like the smaller size better. Samsung is excellent. I was unimpressed with the previous MS Surface, but the new one is excellent and gives real laptop power in a tablet.
