Memory Card Limit: I read somewhere that some older DSLR cameras have upper limits for memory card space - is that the case here?

I'm not sure about the memory limits, but I wouldn't shoot with a card much larger than 8 gigs anyway. Even a 4-gig card can hold plenty of pictures, but memory cards fail, become corrupted, and sometimes they may even break. I say you're better off getting several smaller memory cards, simply because the thought of losing all those pictures on a full (or nearly full) 32-gig or 16-gig card sounds like a nightmare. Additionally, having less space will force you to back up your pictures. It may even encourage you to delete the pictures you know came out obviously bad while you're in the field, which can help you conserve space. I suggest picking up a portable hard drive for when you need to travel and back up your pictures on the fly. They make models that fit into your pocket, and they will automatically copy the pictures you've taken directly from your memory cards. You don't need a computer or laptop to use them, and they can hold 200 gigs or more. Hope this helps!

I currently use a 4gb card with no problem. Though I need to carry a spare battery to get close to it's capacity (except in RAW or extreme resolution images). I have seen nothing to restrict you to 4gb.

I have a 2GB card in this camera - I do not know if there is a bigger one that is compatible.

I never run out memory, but in manual said that the camera will vibrate and turnoff when the memory is full, so i think you can´t use it.

MAYBE, some of these early CF cameras have a 2GB memory card size limit, so I'm not saying it will or will not work... you'd have to try it.

i am currently using 64GB SD card. That is the max that this camera is compatible with, hope I've helped.

There is 32GB (I am answering this from memory) of internal memory, not all of which is available to store images. It can take a SD, SDHC, or an Extended SD(XC?) (>32GB).

The manufacturer recommends that you use between 64 and 128MB which leads me to believe that this camera is pretty old. Newer equipment uses SD disks in the gigabyte range. The down side is that SD disks in the megabyte range are getting harder and harder to find. However, I've read about someone who shot video using up to 99GB on the SD450. He had difficulty getting his computer to recognize the disk. More than likely it's because the computer can't read or format a disk that exceeds the operational requirements of the SD450. In your case, since 2GB SD disks are relatively cheap these days, I suggest that you try it. If your computer lets you format the disk you should be able to upload your pictures. Just bare in mind that if you go higher than 2GB, you may run into problems uploading your pictures.

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb. Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

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!

This camera takes SDHC cards. As far as I know, once you have a camera that recognizes SDHC, the sky's the limit. For older cameras that DO NOY accept SDHC cards (those cards above 2GB), then 2GB is the limit. The reason is the file format on the cards. Up to 2GB used FAT16; above 2GB use FAT32. A few cameras that take CF cards (not SD), even if they are older, can use part of, or all o,f the larger sized CF cards, but there's no guarantee that there won't be an occasional problem with recording of images.

Sorry. tried looking up the specs, but on don't have enough infomation as far as sd card capacity. check your user manual, or you can call Nikon's customer service for more info.

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!

Personally I put in a 4 GB SDHC card and it can hold ~500 pictures on the highest quality setting. I don't think you need much more memory than about 8 GB with this camera.

I had the same question at the same time! Just found the answer here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=18183#SupportDetailAct and search for "largest" - it is the first answer in the list that comes up. For SDHC, it says: Secure Digital High Capacity currently supports capacities up to 32 GB.

I think the best way to find out is by calling Canon to see if your camera will accept an SD card of this capacity. Some older cameras will only accept up to a certain number of GB's for the camera. I have an older camera from 2008 that will only accept up to 2GB.

I decided I did not want to worry about space so I put a PNY 128 GB Elite in ours. It was a little pricey at $63 but it is very fast. P.S. Love this camera.
