Yes there are three different sizes, standard, mini and micro.  My R61
will read the standard SDHC cards which my Canon 60D uses -- and for
that matter all earlier SD cards.  I have not discovered an adaptor
which will convert the R61 SD card slot to mini or micro size. If you
need an adaptor for those smaller sizes the 66-in-1 card adaptors I
mention in my other post to this thread of today's date will serve.

Older card adaptors cannot be used for the newer, faster cards of all
types.  Fortunately the new adaptors are cheap and I am told are
backwards compatible.
