Just talked to Panasonic and some of my own research = "ultimate" card should make your video better. 32 gives you allot of capacity. If you shoot video and pictures, I would go with it. Just ordered the 32 myself.

I have a 16gb, 45mb/s SanDisk. The speed is what I found works best for this camera when you are shooting RAW. As to the size, I think you can safely go up to whatever your budget supports. I myself would rather have a couple cards in case one fails as compared to one huge capacity one.

Transcend 8 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC10E Buy a brand name one. Dont go with a generic and risk losing all your pictures.

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

Thank you all for your prompt answers. I actually tried the Kingston Technology 128 GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) Class 10 Memory Card and it worked! I hope that our dialogue has been beneficial to all. God bless!

I use a 32gb card that works just fine and hold loads of full resolution pictures. I'm not too sure if the 64gb would work though.

Any Class 10 SD Card will work. You can use SD, SDHC, SDXC. I would stick with a name brand since you will probably be using this for paid gigs and reliability is more important than price.

You need a SDHC Class 10 card. I recommend 32GB or more. Here's a really good choice: SanDisk Extreme Plus 32GB UHS-1/U3 SDHC Memory Card Up To 80MB/s- SDSDXS-032G-X46 (Label May Change)

I use the recommended SanDisk SD cards. I'm a fan of the Ultra version, but you wouldn't necessarily have to buy the Ultra one. Because I take a lot of photos, I buy a 16 GB SD card. I watch for sales on them. I do stay away from brands that you see at Black Friday sales, or similar...you never know what you are getting...and you get what you pay for. Hope this helps.

Of course. Memory cards are just like hard drives. As long as you don't abuse them they can be very versatile.

I'm using a 32 GB with out any problem. And after a bit of research can find no restrictions as to size of memory card. The 32GB has ample room even with max pixle size photos.

Any SDHC 16GB card should be good. I usually get Class 10 cards (as they're usually faster than Class 4/6, but not always). As with any product, read the reviews before deciding to buy it. Note that higher-capacity cards tend to be less reliable than the low-capacity ones, so you might be better off buying two 16GB cards instead of one 32GB one. Back up your files often!

I used a Sony 32GB SDHC/SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 R40 Memory Card (SF32UY/TQMN) Worked great and the quality is good as well, It stood up to the contortion of going I "little" too deep just as the camera did :)

I bought a Sandisk 8GB HC card ( SD Micro) and it has been excellent. It will hold more pics than you should have on a camera anyway!

Stick to brand name SD cards. You can use those in lots of other devices too.Memory sticks are a Sony proprietary device so are less interchangeable. I tend to stay with established standards, and unless another design offers compelling new features I see no reason to use it.
