I have had no problems with my Sandisk Class 6 SDHC card, but I bought a Toshiba 16GB Class 4 SDHC card and I get a buffer overflow message after about 20 seconds of recording at which point recording stops. Another problem is a message I get when first turning on the HF200. Something like "Data is corrupted, would you like to fix it? Yes/No". Canon's documentation says both Class 4 and Class 6 cards are supported for HD recording. Perhaps recording at the maxiumum 24Mbps 1080i data rate only works with Class 6 cards. Also note that these problems occurred after trying both full and quick card initializations on the camcorder.

Where did you get your card, It could be a counterfeit. I bought a Kingston 32GB SDHC Class 6 on Ebay recently and had the same problem, tested the card and found it ran at slower than class 2 speed so it is most likely a counterfeit as I doubt a major manufaturer would try to sell class 2 cards as class 6.

I haven't narrowed down a specific time this occurs...It def occurs when using flash and in low lighting, but occurs at other times as well. Using a very good memory card, can't remember off top of head but it has tons of storage. I have not reformated, my husband keeps telling me too :)Shooting in jpeg only.Guess I'll try reformating first! That would be too easy!

Hi! The SDHC card is too big. The camera doesn't read the compression. The camera takes SD plain cards, up to 2GB, not HC. Hope this helps. :)

I haven't had any issues with the buffer that you wouldn't have with any other camera. If you are shooting in high res JPEG only, the camera can easily squeeze off 6 straight shots (3 per second). If you shoot RAW+JPEG, you can expect 3-4 before lag catches up with you. Most sources say a high speed SD card helps also, but I just use regular Sandisk cards without effecting what I want to accomplish. I got some great shots in continuous mode with RAW+JPEG of an Osprey diving into the water and coming back out with a trout. It sounds like the salesman wanted to sell you on a high dollar "professional" Nikon or Canon Mark II with a higher profit margin.

I'm using a 32gb microsd (tf) card, to be honest it is very hard to tell because it's a blackbox. When it "fills up" it continuously records, overwriting the earlier videos, so I just have it recording for the last few months without any issues.

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

Select whether to overwrite the recorded SD card or to stop recording when the SD card is full. When you select "Overwrite", the stored video will be overwrittenstarting with the oldest data first.

I have a SanDisk Ultra 32gb Class 10 card. Oddly, the camera thinks it's full quite often. I don't worry too much about it -- just format when I get that message.

I'm sure you got it figured out by now, but to anyone else, I use a CLASS 10 SDHC 8GB card with no problems. Key is that it is CLASS 10. And the video length can be changed in settings.

Can you describe the conditions and the camera settings in which you usually see this? Are you shooting long bursts? In low light? What memory card are you using? Have you tried a different one? Have you reformated the memory card in the camera recently? Are you shooting jpeg, RAW or both?

no, this camcorder is not High Definition. It does not record in either 1080i or 720p. It does say however that it is high resolution, which is where I think it gets almost misrepresented. Here is the confusion.. Widescreen HR Recording The FS200 records true High Resolution Widescreen for picture perfect video. Canon's Widescreen HR Mode uses the entire width of the image sensor, capturing true 16:9 widescreen. What difference does it make? It's simple. The more pixels captured, the better your final image quality is. Notice that it does not say High DEFINITION, it says high RESOLUTION. Easy way to truly know is that In order for something to be high-def it has to be 1080i or 720p!

Well a class 10 is the best for view streaming video for that camera if you don't have anything important on that card try formating a see what happens if all else fails buy a class 10 you wilsee the difference

I am also facing the same issue with my 32G class 6 SDHC card. I want to repair these videos as well as pictures with question mark, anyone knows how?

Ok, someone will probably give a better answer than me, but, assuming I understand the question: Camera can be set for either circular recording or not. Circular means it will record until the memory card is full, then start overwriting the files from the beginning. If Circular is "off", it will just fill up the memory card and stop. HOWEVER, it doesn't just record "one big file". It records 10, 15, or 20 minute files (user selectable), one after another. So, say you have it running continuous, 15 minute file size. It will record a 15 minute file, then immediately record another 15 minute file, and so on. Depending on resolution and memory card size, you will end up with dozens (or potentially hundreds) of sequential 10 to 20 minute long video files. Actually really handy, just find the one that has the information you want on it, rename it and save it. Easy peasy. It will keep recording files until the memory card is full (up to 64 hours continuous on a 64 gig card, depending on resolution, etc), then it will start recording over the oldest files. Does that make sense? It is a cool little videocam, and it can be configured pretty extensively. Hope that helps.

No, when the card is full it stops recording. A "Memory is full" message appears on the screen. I also bought a 32g card.

Perhaps a little test would be in order. Delete all the messages from the recorder and then re-record some messages and see how many you can record.
