What file sizes can you select for the camera take? ie. 3 Meg, 5 Meg, etc. Large files are cumbersome for me. Thank you.

Shoot for maximum size, then reduce the physical size on adobe or other such programs. By shooting at the maximum you have better results when cropping and adjusting.

For anyone who is still wondering/checking...I have recently tried a 16GB microsd card with this camera. And although the products main website/manual says that it can only support up to 8GB, it is DID work with the 16gb micro sd card I inserted! It is as I had recently stated, that the manufacturer posted up the limitation probably/simply because that's as far that they had tested for the camera and can't claim with certainty it working with the product.In any case, I can physcially confirm that it CAN work with this camera!You're welcome!

I think the camera used to output JPEGs at 5MB each... So I'd say somewhere between 400-600 if you shoot at full resolution.

Hey Katrina: I wish that I could answer that for you but I can't, because I use a 16g sd card and I'm constantly reviewing and deleting recorded footage so I really don't know. I'm sorry :-(

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.

Quick question for all of you who know a little bit more. This is mostly aimed at the guy who used WMM. " Did you lose any quality converting it? " Obviously we all bought this camera b/c it has decent quality but if you lose it what the point. Thanks for the help, Cheers!

Sounds like a great suggestion, thanks. Do you use a 8G will this camera? Would I be correct in assuming you'd get about 1700 pics at fairly standard settings?

Mine measures just under 6cm x 4.5cm. Had lots of problems with mine after three months. Had to deal with manufacturer because it was over 30 days with Amazon. And before the year with my Square trade insurance but I bought. Whole camera stopped working & fried my 32 gb memory card. Went online and a lot of people had the same problem with this camera. Just wanted to let you know, I would choose something else. Bev.

I carry 2 64GB cards for my D5100. I use a single card for a shoot and move them as soon as practical onto a more stable platform (backed up). Then I return the card to my cycle. This lets me shoot as much as I want without fear of running out of space. I also shoot jpg & raw. They are so cheap (I saw them for $15.99 the other day) that I cannot see a reason not to use them. The other people fearing about loss of the pictures are right though, do not store your pictures on here. Move them as soon as possible.

I bought a 32MB mini SD card and took it on vacation. I took over 1800 pictures and maybe 40+ videos and I still had room for another 3000+ pictures. 16MB might be plenty but for the small price difference the 32MB will serve you well.

That is really up to you. You can choose what size SD card you put in it. The largest SD card would be 32 gigs and on this camera that would allow 2200 pictures! So, it's up to you. A LOT is the answer!

I use 32G of SD card. One could hold more than 10 hours of recording. the camera comes with micro USB plug but not convenient when running cables.

My event's photos need much more than 8gb. So unless you're just doing regular sessions and not events, you'd need larger.

I used up to an 8GB SDHC card in mine ALL the time and that will hold thousands and thousands of photos. I had THE best luck with this camera!! I bought like 3 in a row and since I am a photo taking addict LOL I used a lot of cards and kept getting ones with bigger memories which is how I KNOW it will hold 8 GB. Good luck and may God bless!

The user manual will say weather your camera takes a SD or CF card, or both. Whichever it is, the size of the card will not matter to the camera, although SOME, OLD operating systems do not recognise a card over 2000Mb, but i think thats prior to Windows 98second edition.

You might have more luck if you change it from M3 fine to L superfine. M3 allows you to take more pictures on your memory card but you are only using 2M instead of the full 10M so that will reduce your image quality quite a bit.

I purchased my camera about a month ago (Aug. 2012) and it still says 16GB max. I actually had the same question.....to be on the safe side I just put a 16 in but would have preferred a 32GB. db
