But sometimes a camera firmware update can provide SDHC capability, assuming the hardware isn't limited. I have a Fuji f40fd and they provided a firmware upgrade which gave SDHC capability

As far as I know the firmware update cannot make that 630 read SDHC cards. I would be very surprised if somebody could get that to work. If somebody has hacked this limit somehow feel free to post it here. I suspect this is just a misunderstanding.

I own this camera too, and though I think it's a great camera, I'm bummed that it can't read the newer SDHC cards. It can, however, read the 4GB 150x SD cards. I have a Ridata with these specs, and the camera works great with this card. I could be wrong about this, but I *think* a firmware update from Canon would allow the SD630 to use SDHC cards. The following year's models can read/write SDHC cards.

I have been using the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 4 8GB and it worked fine, but it takes a couple seconds for it to record the picture after I have taken it. I just bought the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 6 8GB and the camera says that it is not formatted. It does not work for some reason. Both the cards are exactly the same, except my newer card is Class 6. Does anyone know the problem or have the same one?

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!

The in-camera memory is good for only 3 pictures (I only get three) - after that you have to copy to card.A friend of mine said that reason it doesn't automatically copy to the card is his card was already formatted.Maybe - just maybe if you used the camera to format the card (saving your card to your computer first) the card would automatically cross-save your photos as you shot more pictures..I'm going to try that and will reprot back later - camera in my daughters hands for the next couple of weeks.

Great tips in this thread, thanks.I can't find what memory card I can get for my new 790. Does anyone know if it will take an 8 or even a 16 gig SDHC card? And can I use a "Class 6", or is it only able to accept/benefit from a "Class 4"? Can anyone recommend a solid, inexpensive card reader for SDHC cards? Thanks for your replies.

That's strange I Haven't had any problems geting the sd card to work with it. If you are using a SD extreme card it won't work. I would make sure that it's an SDHC card and not SDHX.

Thanks Tech Guy. I see that it takes SDHC, and the video size limitation is fine by me. I'll have to see if I can get an a solid answer from Canon's tech support on if the 790 can take advantage of the faster in-camera processing Class 6 cards have (the upload to computer speed advantage doesn't mean much to me), and if it varies by brand. I also am wondering if I'll need to replace my current SD card reader if I do buy and use any of these higher capacity / faster SD cards.

I have used standard cards without a problem, the camera will format the card. If you plan to capture video, be sure to get a card that is rated for that function. There is a SD card class rating you can read about, as I recall it is suggested using at least a 10 for video.

I've used the adapter in SD card slots of several different devices without any issues. It seems some Canon Powershot cameras support SD memory cards so, they should be compatible with this adapter, though I've not tried this myself.

I've found that ALL "SD" cards will work. SD is a standard for the card size and performance. Even though all SD cards are the same size and will fit and function in any device with an SD reader, the performance can vary. I use the medium to high grade (fast) ones for the best performance. If you are going to shoot HD video you really should use the higher grade SD's as they are faster and will give you a higher quality final image. Research it some more by "Googleing" SD standards to learn more about SD standards of performance. You can usually find the higher grade ones on sale somewhere, just make sure the speed is adequate for your needs. Good luck!

I'm not a tech person. What I use is an " SD Ultra Micro" in the camera. Then I need to put that tiny chip in an adapter to make it "normal" size to transfer data to the computer. I don't know if your Micro is the same size as the Ultra Micro. If it isn't, it won't fit in the camera. My preference for the camera would have been for it to take a normal size SD card, like my previous Canon Powershot Digital Elph.

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.

So that's why I can't find it! Hmmmm. I had it on my SD1000 and it was a fun feature. So, the SD780 has it? I hate to spend $44 more if there aren't any other significant upgraded features. I know there is HD video. I'll have to rethink this! :)

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

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 got my camera to work! I have a powershot sd750 and it wouldn't power up at all. I tried tricks from other post such as ensuring the cover was closed, opening and removing the watch like battery, to no avail. I got mine to work by connecting the USB cord to my laptop, putting in the battery, and pressing play. It worked! And after that the camera turns on normally. Go figure

it worked on my canon t4i, however using my old vivatar 283 flash, I also tried it on my Sunpack pro strobe NO WORKIE... it fired no sync, i talk to a pro at a camera store and he said its a crap shoot whether or not it'll sync --- problem it fired the flash and didn't blow up my t4 BUY i could NOT get the old flash to sync with the digital shutter speed, I tried two twice on different days changing all kinds of settings and never got the flash to sync, it fired the flash but not had NO affect. i put the bug in a drawer and my kid can throw it away in a few years..... ya want it.Phil. it worked on my canon t4i, however using my old vivatar 283 flash, I also tried it on my Sunpack pro strobe NO WORKIE... it fired no sync, i talk to a pro at a camera store and he said its a crap shoot whether or not it'll sync --- problem it fired the flash and didn't blow up my t4 BUY i could NOT get the old flash to sync with the digital shutter speed, I tried two twice on different days changing all kinds of settings and never got the flash to sync, it fired the flash but not had NO affect. i put the bug in a drawer and my kid can throw it away in a few years..... ya want it.Phil.
