MacBook Pro won't read the sdxc card from Panasonic GH2

I've got a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Just took my first pictures/video with the GH2 using a Lexar 64GB SDXC card. When plugging in the USB cable that came witht the camera I got - "The disk you inserted was not recognized by this computer". Does anyone out there have the GH2 that has experienced this problem? Solution? I've written to Lexar but so far they've been no help. I know the file system for this card is FAT32 which is a PC format. I know this card will work with the Mac...but how is it accomplished?

MacBook Pro 15", Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Your easiest & cheapest way to transfer the camera pictures is to buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.

Thanks, Tom. I went to the Lexar site and looked at the FAQs and apparently I need to update to Snow Leopard because the SDXC card is only supported from OS 10.6.5 onwards. Just ordered it on ebay. If that doesn't work I'll try your solution.
