Dear chunk, Here are the details of my understanding.
The cannon camera (other devices too) formatted SD is indeed a partition FAT12. When I said Sfdisk -l, it showed the fs ID as 1. 1 is indeed the FAT12 fs ID. Attached are the logs for win and camera device sfdisk -Vl /dev/tfa0. Mine is a FAT12 device. So, what did u do to fix this problem? U did not mention it.
