Which type of SD card is best for this camera?

the cheapest price for the biggest memory makes sense. In terms of manufacturers of cards, I don't know of any big differences - SanDisk is pretty common. In terms of size, it depends on your shooting habits. I transfer the files on my card monthly - the Canon makes monthly folders. I use an 8 gig card, and if I shoot more than 300 pictures, or have more than 20 minutes of movies, it fills up. It might make sense for me to go to 16 gigs, but it's rare with my shooting load that I surpass 8 gigs. If you're someone who NEVER backs up the card, then it may be a better to use a smaller card in order to FORCE YOU into better archiving habits. My wife's camera has files on it dating back three years to various holidays and vacations - she shoots about 25 pictures per year. But if something happened to the card - theft, loss, gets dumped in water - then that's three years' worth of stuff that gets lost if it isn't backed up somewhere else. Short answer - whatever your shooting load is, make sure you regularly back it up and have copies elsewhere. Oh yeah, and you don't have to take every single picture off - you can select some to leave on the card, so that you can have them on your camera for playback. I've got puppy pictures on my camera that are three years old, but I've taken off thousands of pics since. When you copy the whole folder to your computer, you then go back and delete what you want from the card. You don't have to delete everything off the card you've saved to computer. Just delete files you don't want on the card and keep the ones you do. If you don't shoot a lot, you may never fill up the card, but back it up regularly anyway. Enjoy!

I am taking a photography class while having purchased this camera. I am using a 8GB SD card. That is big enough for me. It has taken some beautiful Hawaii sunset photos.

Sorry to respond so late. I bought the camera for my nephew, who has been using a Canon SD card with no problem.

I used a memory card, but it was only 32GB SD. I would guess that card would be ok, but I don't know for sure.I think you will be disappointed in this camera as the included software is poor, and streaming doesn't work.

I have a 2GB card in this camera - I do not know if there is a bigger one that is compatible.

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 know you want to spend under $50, but you need to spend at least $100 and buy the Sandisk Extreme memory card that is 16 gigs, it is a class 10 card and it has a 30mb per second read and if you go anything lower then that, then you will never untap the true potential of this camera Look on here or on Ebay and enter Sandisk Extreme SDHC 16gb and you can find some priced around $100, if you are willing to settle for an 8gb card, you can get the same card for $50 on both sites

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ADFTUG/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I am happy to say the choice was on the money as this card is amazingly fast, and greatly improves the use and experience with this camera. Hopefully this helpful, good luck!

I recommend the SanDisk Extreme Pro | SDHC UHS-I Card (95 MB/s).Maximum speed for burst shooting, fast transfers and Full HD video. I use 16 Gb.

standard SD card. I would go with at least 8 gigs to give you plenty of image and video storage.

Any microSD card will work with the camara. For the best performance, use a Class 10 or UHS-1 card. Otherwise, any card will work.

Any standard SD card should work. I have an old 2 Gig an it holds a lot of photos from the converter.

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)

any SD card should work in a camera. It would be safe to get SanDisk because they are well-known for cameras.

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.

It uses SD cards. They're available up to 2gb, which is the largest size this camera can use. Be careful not to get SDHC (high capacity) cards, as they will NOT work, even in the 2gb size. I've used 512mb and 2gb SD cards, both PNY brand, with success. They aren't fancy high speed cards, but I don't notice any objectionable delay in writing to the card.

Micro SDHC is what I bought to use in it. Make sure it is a MICRO. I accidentally bought a regular one. I got mine at Wal Mart . Made by PNY 16GBHope this helps!
