I'm currently using the 8GB. Will the 16GB improve the quality of my photos in terms of definition and color?

Hi DB, not it will not. It all depends on the settings of the camera and how the user takes pictures. -Vincent

I use a 32gb card that works just fine and hold loads of full resolution pictures. I'm not too sure if the 64gb would work though.

You should have NO issues with a 2Gb card, unless you are a heavy user in which case you'll need more cards between downloads. Sometimes, it is "safer" with a 2Gb card, since you'll be downloading images more often. Hope this is of use to you. Thanks.

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!

I have two 8GB Pro Duo cards from a previous Sony and a few SD cards as well. I'd advise getting a few smaller cards than one larger one. If the card goes bad our you lose a card you'll lose less pics.

That was my decision. The manufacturer talks about using only their cards, but I can see no logic for it. Having said that, I find the 16 GB card to met my needs just fine. They suggest formating the card while it is in the camera "every 1-2 weeks, for optimum performance". That's easily accomplished by pressing the button near the power input on the camera and holding it for ten seconds.

I had a 2 GB available and have never needed more. If you keep all photos on the camera without ever deleting any, use a bigger one.

I have not had any problems with the 32 gb so far! It holds more data than the 16 gb. Not sure if anyone else has any problems.

I've been using a 16 GB class 6 with no problems since I got mine a few years back - I often download the videos and pics through my laptop's SD card slot and it has no trouble with a full memory.

If you plan on taking and saving hundreds of pictures, get an 8 or 16GB card, otherwise a 4GB fits most people. Since the controls on the camera are small physically, make sure the case you purchase doesn't obscure them.

The battery life will only fill a little less than 16gb. So if you plan on transfering/deleting videos every time you charge then all you need is the 16.

I guess for different scenes, the compression ratio is different. A smooth scene needs less GBs then a busy one.

It does depend on your need, but not for the reasons referenced in other answers. A) are you going to shoot video or continuous (sports)? If so you want a faster card Class 6 minimum but probably class 10. Also if you shoot Raw or video you want at least 8gb but probably 16gb in size. Another question is; if you buy one big card 32 or 64 and lose the card or it becomes corrupted you lose all your photos. All professionals recommend multiple smaller size cards for this reason instead of 1 big card. I use a 16gb Sandisk pro Class 10 high speed card, which covers everything and has a free data recovery feature if needed. If this helps please hit the "yes" button! Thanks.

I use a 16 gb with no problems. A friend uses a 32 with no problems. Hope this helps.

I use an 8GB micro sd card and it works fine, not sure if 16GB would work, it does not say max in the manual.

I use 16gb's of various brands. They have capacity for more than four hours of video, which is far more than I have ever needed as I check it every week or so.
