I carry around a couple of 8gb cards with me at all times. For the casual user, 8gb class 4 cards are sufficient.

I am using the SanDisk Ultra 64 GB SDXC Class 10 Flash Memory Card 30MB/s SDSDU-064G-U46 for $46.88 on Amazon. Smaller & larger GB's are available depending on how much storage you need.

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.

Buy the used one from Amazon Warehouse Deals. They are returns, but some or perfect, that is how I got mine, a lot cheaper, Mine is perfect. X5 is the best, has two card slots. It supports 128gb micro sd per slot.

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.

It should be MICRO SD card. 32 gb is still the size of choice. Get a CLASS 10! They are better quality and faster than the usual class 2 or 4. Somebody said mini. It is the micro.

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.

I use two Sandisk SDHC class 10 cards, a 32 GB and a 16 GB. I can easily shoot a short film (30 min or less) at 1080p with no need to clear either card.

I bought SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB 95MB . Also has a number 3 and a number 10 in a circle. The Extreme Pro is good if you don't want to have a long wait between flash pictures. It is fast. Make sure you get the right memory card or you will be disappointed in the camera's speed.

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at Lexar Professional 400x 16GB SDHC UHS-I Flash Memory Card LSD16GCTBNA400 . 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 am using a PNY 4 GB SDHC card. They are very inexpensive. About $5 to $10.

UPDATE:Woo hoo! Being persistent helps. I checked Amazon everyday to see if this camera was back in stock. Last week, it was in stock for a few minutes @ $399. I hit the check-out button, and it should be arriving this week.===Same here. I pre-ordered it for the $399 price, and the free 4GB SD card promo. I got my cancellation email last week. Now I have to return the SD card, since my current camera doesn't support SDHC.It seems everyone is out of stock. I have a feeling this camera won't be widely available till after the holidays. Bummer.

Balancing price and performance I went with 32GB 600X cards from Lexar (both a CF and SD). They have sufficient speed and I have the option of using one for backup or video on one with stills on the other, etc. Going to more GB gets very expensive and there is plenty of capacity with the 32GB. Transfer speed of the 600X is also more than adequate unless you plan to run off tons of pictures contiuously and overrun the buffer.

Incredibly helpful advice about SD cards for the S90, J. Robertson. Yours is the best advice on the subject I've seen anywhere (and that includes dpreview forums). Consider yourself uprated.
