My daughter lost her power shot 770 we are trying to decide what to replace it with. The best part of the 770 I thought was the ease of wich I could download her videos to my computer. ( aside from the fact that it was an awesome camera). I am worried that some one reported vsta problems, but I think going to HD video is an important step. Has anyone had success with downloading to vista OS (no software)?Does it have to download to quicktime?

I have no experience with "Vista" as such (i use XP myself) but as far as "Quicktime" goes, my older Canon Powershot A480 would store ".AVI" files (640x480x30fps with mpeg-2 compression, i think). My later Canon Powershot SD780 IS on the other hand stores HD video (1280x720x30fps) in Quicktime ".MOV" format (with h.264 codec compression). "Downloading" to the computer should be equally easy either way, it's more a question of "playing it" (what media player software

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&mode;lid=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.

So what does that mean regarding shooting video with this camera, ie., How long of a video can be shot with a 8GB under continuous operation, 16GB, etc?
300379
I have a Canon Powershot SD780 myself and have used a 16Gb card over and over with no troubles. The 4gb-PER-CLIP limit realistically kicks in at just over 21 minutes when shooting 1280x720x30fps. I once had trouble with a 32gb card which died after shooting a lot of continuous video on a warm night, i think that (inexpensive off-brand of) card might have "melted" (camera was getting hot). But i have NEVER had trouble with 16GB or 8GB SDCH cards in the Powershot SD780. Nice camera :)

Tallguitarplayer:The instruction manuel says 8 GB 43min. 32 sec. But ther eis a limit for each clip. The maximum length for each clip is 4GB, i.e.29 minutes 59 seconds. The recording utomatically stops when either the file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches 29 minutes 59 seconds.

Yes, it does--but it does not give you the option to keep the original photo. That is, the full color photo and the color accent photo. This was an option on the SD790IS.

Hello everybody just to confirm I placed the call to the CANON Support 1-800-652-2666 and this phone does support up to the memory capacity on the SDHC 32GB. I hope this confirms everybody's concerns & this phone # is very handy for all your needs with Tech support or any questions regards to the CANON models.

I haven't found a maximum size listed in any of Canon's documentation. The camera should be compatible with any existing SDHC card currently made and, theoretically at least, any future SDHC card (though it may require a firmware update).

I'm also trying to decide between the SD850 and SD750...I prefer the S850 features, but this camera is so much thicker (1.04" vs 0.77"), and I was looking for a thin camera. The dimensions are on Canon's website...have you physically seen the two cameras and can you confirm the difference in thickness? I was curious that you did not mention...perhaps it's not as different as I think?

I bought mine like 6 years ago! But Yes, it came with a small 16 MB card. But that's really too small. You will need to buy at least a 512 MB card to have some fun with the camera. I don't know if they still make the S5200, but it was a GREAT camera. Great pictures and very fun to use!

With this camera I bought the 7 day shop professional high speed secure digital high capacity SD HC memory card - class 10. It has been superb with the camera and was a competitive price - mine is 32GB though - which is more than enough for me.I hope this helps.Paul

I bought an 8GB HCSD, because I wanted to have more space. Manufacturer claims is a class 6 card, which is supposedly the fastest (or one of the faster cards). Using it, I found: 1. The RAW shooting, would take about the same time that took my 2G MicroSD with adapter, that is, if you're planning about taking bursts of pictures RAW, that won't do the trick. 2. I found the bigger size of videos is 2GB, and that appears to be limited by the filesystem of the cards it self. That's around 23 minutes in the highest quality mode.

In case anyone reads this.... I am using this camera with a 64gb Compact Flash card with no problems. (Transcend) I have not tried with a 64gb SDHC card. However, I am using a 32gb SDHC card in at the same time with no problems.

Before I purchased this camera, I checked many sites regarding which card to use-Internal memory of only 52MB was not enough for my use-the end result was purchasing a SanDisk 16GB Ultra card. There are 32GB Ultra cards also available. Bottom line: Internal memory is very limiting, and the use of an Ultra card (recommended over a basic SD card) will add peace of mind while shooting "extra" pictures or extended-video. Great camera, by the way!

Mine came with a 32 GBToshiba SDHC i. The card says 30MB/s, although I dont know what that actually means. The card cartridge that comes with the extras package is also cool, although I still find a standard USB Camera cord to be the better method of uploading my pictures to computer. I'm a little leery of constantly pulling the memory card out of the camera and into the computer. I wish that Canon had included the USB cord with the camera. The extra battery with this package costs $60 on Canon site so this is a really good deal. And 32 gigs is a huge card. It's amazing how inexpensive memory has gotten over the past few years.

I use the SanDisk SDHC IN THE 8 GB mode. Could not see paying for a 32 when I check the camera as much as I do. In East Texas if you put a 32 GB out there you camera will be stolen way before you fill up the card.

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 don't know what type of a camera the "CANON Power Shot SD 780 IS" is. But I know every camera has the same threads at the base of the camera for a tripod, because all tripods and monopods should have the same screws.But in all honesty, if the camera is not a basic and simple and small point n shoot, you're not going to want to hold it extended with your arm to take a photo with a 2 or 10 second timer.

The camera has a small amount of internal memory, enough for 10-11 shots on max resolution. It is far easier to use a SD card. 16 GB will give you over 2000 shots and the ease of taking out the card to transfer the photos to a computer or directly to a compatible printer.

This camera takes either SD or SDHC cards. They are physically the same size and shape, but the HC means "high capacity". It's crazy how many pics you can fit on a modern digital camera with the newer cards!

This may help: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras/powershot_a2500#Specifications There is a chart at the bottom that shows the length of movie based on size, memory, and frames per sec! At high res, you can get about 49 min with only 8gb

I would check the actual Nikon website for any specifics, but we didn't see anything that jumped out at us when we purchased this camera. We went with a "normal" SDHD card, and did the 32GB since it was for our daughter and she tends to snap away. Brand wise, we did Lexar (Platinum) since that's what we've been using in our DSLR for a couple years without any complaints or issues...

An indefinite number. I have a 16 gig card. I suggest you get a big card. Worth the money. I love this camera!!
