What is the best memory card? So which ones are high speed?

The SanDisk Extreme III is an excellent choice for this camera, and will allow you to take full advantage of the high speed. The best price I've seen anywhere for it is actually right here on Amazon.com, and includes free shipping. Don't skimp on the memory card. You can get by with 1 or 2 Gb, but don't buy a slow (i.e., cheap) memory card, or you will defeat some of the best features of this camera.

SD cards. If you want to take videos they recommend class 6 or higher speed. It will handle 2 - 64 Gig cards. I have a 32in mine. 32 gig gives you about 4900 pictures at high res, or 2hrs,47 min of video.

I got a 16GB Class 6 Sandisk card before our vacation to Europe. On a bicycle ride around a lake the camera would stop midstream in a video shoot and said something like "the data stream is too fast for the card". I was shooting in the highest HD mode. It happened several times so high speed action (a lot of data) is too fast for a Class 6. Buy a faster card. I wish I had.

Sandisk or like any other brand as long as it is rated class 10 is equally good.. E.g. kingston..toshiba..samsung..transcend could write to 30 to 45mbps is very good for full hd recorders

Complete myth that lower-memory cards work better than higher-memory. Sandisk is good.

You can buy a memory card with various sizes. I have seen them as high as 64MB

I bought the Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card (TS32GSDHC10E). I wouldn't go lower than class 10 because you need the speed. I also buy Sandisk brand.

Which memory card would work best all around in the canon sx260, a sandisk card rated 6 or a faster rated 10? Some have suggest either would do fine for still pictures while others suggested that a 10 rated card would be better for HD video. But is there a big difference in performance in this camera between the two?

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.

To get the best performance, get a high speed SanDisk Class 10 microSD card. A 32gb SanDisk card can usually be found on Amazon for under $25.

iT DOESN'T COME WITH MEMORY CARD. I BOUGHT ONE ULTRA PLUS SDHC UHS-I CARD [speed up to 48 MB/s 320 x ] , SanDisk [ could use other one, the EXTREMEPLUS , by ScanDisk ]

Get the fastest MicroSD card you can find, that is usually the limitation, I use a Sandisk UltraPlus 32G HC I card without any trouble. It is rated Class 10 and UHS class 1. They are reasonably priced as well.

I don't know if any SD card is so much better than another, but any name brand SD HC card works. I happen to like SanDisk myself. I use an 8gb currently but I know up to 64gb are available. To give you an idea of time, at 1080P (HD) video setting, I use approx 100mb per minute of filming, so 1gb is ~ten minutes: 8gb card should get about 70+ minutes (as an 8 gb card formatted is around 7.3gb usable)

I am using a PNY 4 GB SDHC card. They are very inexpensive. About $5 to $10.
