Any card that meets the standards of the SD Card Association should work, provided that Leica also meets the SD card standards. The SD Association has defined speed "Classes" and it may be that Leica is looking for cards that exceed the maximum speed class in which case they would have to test and most likely work with one or more card manufactures. http://www.sdcard.org/home Apparently Leica are not a member but they probably are working with a manufacturer that is, possibly Panasonic, for their camera interface meeting the standards..
