Right now, Amazon is offering a free Kingston 2GB Secure Digital Memory Card with the purchase of this camera - is that fast enough, or would you recommend something faster/better?

This camera can shoot a max of single 4GB video file at a time. If you are thinking of doing some video shooting with it, I suggest you buy a SDHC 8gb card. A 4GB video file at the best resolution setting renders you about 32 minutes of video. With the 8GB card, you can do some video and shoot some photos without having to change a SD card. Currently, newegg.com has a A-Data 8gb SDHC card for $51, but with a $20 rebate, it is only $31 + shipping. $ per GB is the cheapest you can get. I bought one card and it works great!

I just bourght a standard PNY. The sales person suggested getting a faster card so that the time between photos is shortened.

I bought a 2 GB Sandisk Extreme III (20 MB/s write rate). It works fantastically. I was able to continuously record video until I completely filled the card (over 18 minutes) with 480x640 resolution at 30 frames per second (like a standard digital camcorder). It costs a bit more than standard SD memory cards, but if you are shooting video it is well worth it. I ordered mine from Jowow through Amazon for under $40 delivered.

Found them on Amazon, free shipping for $25. I don't know if I can post a link here. If it doesn't work just search for 2 GB Sandisk Extreme III.SanDisk 2 GB SDSDX3-2048-901 Extreme III SD Memory Card (Retail Package)

The Kingston 8 GB Class 4 SDHC Flash card should work in your camera and I have seen them on ebay for under $6.00I use a Kingston 8 GB Class 4 SDHC flash card in my Cannon SX 120 and it works great. The specifications for the Cannon powershot Elph 100hs states that it will accept SDHC flash card. Ed

I am not familiar with the Nikon S570 but most cameras of that model use similar memory cards hence I would think the SDHC SanDisk 8GB will work. A quick check with GOOGLE suggests the card will work with that camera- Be Sure To Read Your Camera's Manual for guidance on selecting the right memory card! I suspect the Nikon S570 will accept a 16GB card as well. You did not ask about transferring the photographs from the card to other media so be sure to consider that activity as well. Best of luck to you!

I had the same question so I spoke with a Canon rep today. He recommended SanDisk but noted that the sd780is only writes up to 18-19 MB/sec. So it's essentially a waste of money to purchase a card that writes any faster than 20 MB/sec. Check this one out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018M256G/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk However, faster cards are likely to write and read faster through a card reader or on your computer.

Nikon DSLR D5000 should use SD card not Compact Flash Card https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16438/~/approved-sd-cards-for-d5000

SanDisk SDCFX3-2048-901 2 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card is the recommended choice. You can find this card selling in the $20 - $30 price range. The camera will not read anything larger than 2 GB. As for the reader i have the ULTRA PRODUCTS 22-in-1 Media Card Reader 31803 which sells in the $20 price range. Both of these products can be found on Amazon.com.

SanDisk is a good brand! Either a 32 GB or a 64 GB is good. Just made sure it is a Class 10 card. You need that speed. I think the SanDisk number is SDSDQXL-032 or 064. Lexar is also good and Delkin is OK. Practically any card will work provided it is rated Class 10.

I got a 32Gb SD card that works just fine. As for brand, there's not a ton of difference between them, these days. I believe a 64Gb will also work in the camera, but two 32's were cheaper than one 64, when I got mine. As for cases, I suggest a hard case over a soft case. There are a couple of "leather" cases that are sturdy enough. Remember, especially when turned on, the camera doesn't handle drops very well. Be sure to use the wrist strap!

I use SanDisk Extreme Pro. You can also use the SanDisk Extreme and they will be fine.

I bought a very inexpensive 2GB SD card of the Crucial brand. These are almost always on sale somewhere on the Web. It's not rated at a super high speed (40x), but it seems to work fast enough in my A590IS. I contacted Canon Tech support re. what would be the optimum speed chip to get for the 590 and they didn't seem to know. Duuuh..., so I ended up with the Crucial. I don't use the highest res setting, as the lens isn't really up to it, so there's room for plenty O' pix on the 2 Gigger. .bh.

I purchased a new, in the box Canon A570 IS through Amazon 3 months ago ($235.45) because my original (11-2007 purchase) was severely damaged in an accident. I purchased another A570 IS rather than going with "newer" technology, because I am totally aware of it capabilities and limitations, and it functionally meets ALL of my camera needs. If you love it and it meets your needs, I suggest you check Amazon for "new" availability.

No, I can't argue with that and now i see it's down to 119. I'd still probably go with the A570IS for 198 though over this tempting deal. It has the Image Stabilization, upgraded Digic III and you get a 2GB card included for the next week or so which essentially knocks 20 bucks off the price.

I had the same question too, but couldn't find a definitive answer online, so I called Canon to find out for sure. They said the largest SD card that could be used in this camera was the 8GB.

You can use any card labeled "SD", up to 2 GB. For SD cards over 2 GB, only cards labeled "SDHC" (SD High Capacity) will work with this camera. I personally use a cheap Kingston 2 GB SD card. It works just as well as SanDisk, and I haven't had any problems with it. Here's a link to it on Amazon. Kingston 2 GB SD Flash Memory Card SD/2GB

I recommend the Canon A720IS !!!!! My pet pictures are breathtaking (IMO) and I'll put a couple up to prove it! (If I can figure out how)

How about a Canon Powershot SD940is, it recently had a price drop to $200, I believe it was like $230 or $240 before. The model is a year old but I personally prefer the design of the older Canon models. At $200 it's a no-brainer. Also, a Sandisk SDHC card:
