I got a Lexar Patinum 2 class 10 SDHC Memory Card 32gb from J&R; on one of their discounts. The camera will run out of battery several times over before you will get a chance to fill it, even on high res and video setting.

I went to Willoughby's in NYC & they fixed me up with the right item for about 50 bucks.

It will take an SD card. We have an SD 163X 4gb card, but it will hold up to at least a 16gb card.

SD card - I had to buy one. It was recommended when I was buying the camera and that's when I realized the camera didn't come with one.

The particular camera I bough didn't come with a memory card but you can get them on Amazon for really reasonable price. I think I use a 16 or 32 GB so I never have to worry about having a full card, especially b/c the camera shoots video.

it doesn't come with any memory card, but you probably want to buy a microSD card with it. The camera supports upto 8gb one.

Unfortunately this model did not come with a memory card. All other Canon cameras I have purchased did, but this one didn't. But buying one wasn't a hassle. Lots of places sell them these days.

Very informative, Matthijs. I was wondering why the card from my new camera was not getting recognized. Old was SD New was SDHC. My version is 20-90-00136. Guess I will go to Sandisk to see if I can update the firmware. EDIT: Well, I just checked. Looks like I am SOL! I guess a new card reader is in the cards.

The camera does not come with a memory card. You will need to purchase an SD card. I got a 256 GB SDXC card. If you don't plan on shooting in raw, don't get a memory card this large. If I have the camera in regular mode that card will hold over fifty thousand pictures. In raw, it reduces to about a thousand. Hope that helps :)

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!

There is no built in memory for this camera, and no memory card comes with the camera. There are some stores that will "include" bonus items, like a case or an SD card. I bought mine through COSTCO.com and it came with a free 2GB card. You can buy any size SD card though - Look at Dealnews.com for the best prices. I just bought an 8GB for $15 - that will be MORE THAN ENOUGH unless you are producing movies!! (I have also seen 4GB for $10 as well).

You need to get an SD memory card for this camera. This is a great camera for anyone who wants near professional quality pics without having to pay the price.

You can use any card labeled "SD", up to 2 GB. For SD cards over 2 GB, only cards labeled "SDHC" (SD High Capacity) will work with this camera. I personally use a cheap Kingston 2 GB SD card. It works just as well as SanDisk, and I haven't had any problems with it. Here's a link to it on Amazon. Kingston 2 GB SD Flash Memory Card SD/2GB

Great tips in this thread, thanks.I can't find what memory card I can get for my new 790. Does anyone know if it will take an 8 or even a 16 gig SDHC card? And can I use a "Class 6", or is it only able to accept/benefit from a "Class 4"? Can anyone recommend a solid, inexpensive card reader for SDHC cards? Thanks for your replies.
