Bob, did you ever find out? I just ordered the camera and want to know the same thing! Thanks for any help.

yeah it does. a class 10 is supposedly the best and higher quality sd card. But i dont use a class ten. i just have a generic one. And others cant tell the difference between them, either.

I'm using a class 4 8GB SDHC card (Sandisk Ultra II) with my Canon S90 camera. Haven't gotten any hiccups so far and it loads images plenty fast for me. Though there are some cameras out there that will want a minimum speed from SD cards. For instance, most dslr cameras will benefit from using class 6 (minimum write speed of 6MB/sec) SD cards because it can shoot multiple frames per second. Some go as high as 9fps. There aren't very many Point and Shoot cameras that support such a high frame rate so in short they can't benefit from the latest and greatest SDHC cards.

Hi, you can use any other brand of memory card, as long as it will not exceed to 64GB. (max memory card that has been tested to work on this camera is up to 64 GB). -Ely

It uses the big SDHC class 4 cards. I had thought it would use a micro sd, but no. The literature says the camera will support up to a 32 gb card. I bought the Kingston 16gig class 4 SDHC card at the time of purchase for under $10, and it seems to work well.

I don't know...you could try a Class 6 but it might not end up being enough...I just decided to play it safe and get a Class 10. Canon said Class 6 "at least". With quite a bit of emphasis on the "at least"

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

heres the problem, the newer cameras almost always require faster sd cards, some even recommend you use a class 10 card. Being that you have a 6 yr old camera, you might also own older slower sd cards. The newer cards are no longer as expensive as they used to be. You can find a 32gig class 10 hcsd card for about $30 dollars ( http://www.amazon.com/Memory-Panasonic-DMC-GH2-Digital-Camera/dp/B004HQBQ24/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid;=1401632586&sr;=8-4&keywor;ds=class+10+hcsd+card) . This is about what it cost to get a 16gig class 4 card, just a few years ago.so there you go, definitely get a class 10 card from now on, all your newer cameras pretty much need them. heres the problem, the newer cameras almost always require faster sd cards, some even recommend you use a class 10 card.

No. According to the manufacturer, the camera is compatible with SD and SDHC cards.

I have been using the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 4 8GB and it worked fine, but it takes a couple seconds for it to record the picture after I have taken it. I just bought the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 6 8GB and the camera says that it is not formatted. It does not work for some reason. Both the cards are exactly the same, except my newer card is Class 6. Does anyone know the problem or have the same one?

I got Samsung MB-MSAGA/US 16 GB Class 6 microSDHC. It works good to the extent of the workability of the camera. I can't say this camera is good at all, so questioning the quality of SD card at this point I think is useless.

I would get SanDisk Extreme III 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDRX3-8192-A21 because it is shold and shipped by Amazon....no problems if you need to return it.

I read some comments on dpreview.com of a guy who tested the Pentax k-7 with two different class 4 SDHC cards and one worked well (SanDisk Ultra II) while the other didn't (PNY). You can see the site below for more details. I would think a class 6 would work fine. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message;=33814313

The camera does its own formatting - it's part of the setup procedure which you go through, 'format, execute'. I found that using a 32-GB memory card caused a lot of trouble, and fixed that problem by using an 8-GB card instead. Mine are SanDisk SDHC cards, class 4, but I think any ordinary SD card would work well. But I only do still photos, and perhaps a faster card than class 4 would be needed for videos.

I would strongly recommend class 10 SDHC cards for the EXILM. The higher speed card is going to allow the camera to empty from it's buffers to the card as fast as possible, providing the best results.

Yes, it will work but higher the SD class, better the performance. Eg: SD card class 10 will be better than class 6.

Gregory, you need at least a Class4 card but but the write times are slow. Best to use a Class10 like the Sony 32GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 R40 Memory Card from Amazon.
