I take it that you mean that the card is larger in capacity not size. What is your existing card reader? I will be surprised if the new card doesn't work with the old reader unless you have a very old reader.

If you're using SDHC cards in the new camera then there's a strong possibility you will need a new reader. If you're using compactflash then probably your existing card reader will be ok

Try this. 7Dayshop is a reliable supplier, albeit not the fastest to deliver... takes about... 7 days!
