What brand/kind of memory card is everyone using with this? Every card I try has a card error, I'm going nuts!

I've been using Trascend (class 10) and a Sandisk (class 4) memories. I've had no problems with either one. Hope it helps.

Please specify the exact error message because it happened to me but the problem was the memory card only. I use SanDisk Extreme Pro 16 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 95MB/s SDSDXPA-016G-AFFP and it works. Here the link SanDisk Extreme PRO 16GB UHS-I/U3 SDHC Flash Memory Card with up to 95MB/s- SDSDXPA-016G-AFFP

We have used this camera for 2 months and use a Transcend SD HC 16GB card. We have hundreds of stills, multiple panoramas, and a few movie clips. The camera and the card have been flawless. Did you ever buy something hoping your wife would take an interest in it? Well, I did and my wife just loves the SZ-31. There is a possibility you have a bad card. When researching cards, surpassing the specs for the camera may be a good thing as they are backward compatible.

Lexar 32MB; however, not all photos were saved. I hate this camera and plan to replace it as soon as I can afford it. It's heavy and doesn't take as good pictures as my old Kodak 3 megapixel.

If you have not formatted the card, try doing so on your PC. If every card that you put into it has a card error message, it might be the camera.

I'm currently using a card from Nikon (my mom gave it to me). It works just fine!

I have the very same problem. There must be some type of program error. I did a lot of research and gave up. I just pull the SD card and plug into my PC. There was no warranty on my camera when I found out it would not work with my PC or TV.

I would try formatting it through the camera... The manual for this camera says it takes SD or MMC memory cards. If you use another kind (CF, MS, xD, or SM) then it's unlikely to work. I have had mine for many years and it is a GREAT camera.. don't give up on it :)

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!

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

I have never had the problem you have described. Try pulling out the memory card. You may have a bad card.

I bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s 10 SDHC1 8GB memory card to use with it, but the regular one like you listed is the other type that I use. Either works well, although I like the higher end one for quality. This camera is more expensive, but very excellent.

haven't looked into that yet but i will be taking the camera to a friend of mine that works at a local ritz camera shop. i am hoping he will be knowlege able enought to figure out which memory card can be used. failing that i would think going to the cameras official website "should" provide the info or maybe a link to cantact them and ask questions. i know pc magazine also has a help section.. they might know

I've used 32gb cards without issue. I did have an issue with a 64gb card though, but I am not sure if it was the card or the camera.

I am using a micro SD with no problem. I know this sounds silly, but... have you checked that you are inserting the card the right way? Good luck

Try a different memory card. Never had that problem, even under some pretty rough conditions.

Stick to brand name SD cards. You can use those in lots of other devices too.Memory sticks are a Sony proprietary device so are less interchangeable. I tend to stay with established standards, and unless another design offers compelling new features I see no reason to use it.

Jose, someone in one of these forums suggested a 2 gig memory card from a different manufacturer, other that Crucial. I forgot which one it was but, apparently that one was working fine in the Asus. I am now quite happy with the performance of the factory 1 gig so, I do not plan to upgrade.

I tried two 64gb cards. They both seemed to record but both gave error message saying they were too slow (although they were rated fast enough). I went back to a 32gb and all is well.

I had the same problem with a Patriot 8GB Class 6, but no problems with a Sandisk 8 GB Class 4. Seems like the Sony HX5V is kind of finicky with memory cards.

I've got a 1GB regular Sandisk and 2GB Ultra II Sandisk, and they both work flawlessly. I'd guess it's just you need a good name brand card?
