SD Card I understand no SD cards are included with this set (i.e. for BDLive). Any thoughts as to which is the best? Sundisk 2 or 4GB? Kingston? Any difference for BDLive?

One other question I had - does having more than 1GB give you any kind of advantage? Or, does the BD-Live technology only utilize 1GB anyway - making any additional flash memory superfluous?

You have to look at the speed level on the card. Sometimes it makes a difference in performance. I always choose fastest available. On the SDHC cards the fastest acting card is a Class 6. Regular SD cards use so many different speed types its crazy-- example 40X to over 100X. As far as brand, I would imagine most work with this machine. I use a cheap brand SDHC with my Panasonic camera.

Well that's the only thing I use it for, to install an OS or just livedvd an OS. :pAs I remember you could only use FAT on the microsd, not sure if it was the exFAT or FAT32, but to be safe just think you won't be able to have a file being >4GB.

I have one of the first builds off the line which is the 4gB model. As I want to use it as a portable recording machine I needed more space, so I picked up an 8 gB SDHC card fo $40 Can/US. I originally used a 2 gB thumb drive, but that fills up when recording hours of audio at 44 khz/16 bit. Also, I like the card as its like a mini-hardrive - it doesn't stick out of the side like a thumb drive. Not sure how much the 8gB model is compared to the 4Gb.. but with expandable memory so cheap..

Sorry, I have not tried the 4GB.This one I got is 3TB...I use for storage and has good access time at 25%. 4GB is rather small is your using modern files.

I'm pretty sure the file system for the MicroSD slot is FAT16. So, even when they make bigger cards, the largest you'll ever be able to use is the 2GB ones.

Thank you--the "bootable sd cards" sounds like a more appealing alternative. I'm not wild about the idea of having an external CD/DVD drive--kind of defeats the purpose of this highly portable option. Thank you!

I honestly don't remember how this was packaged...I do remember that I was satisfied with the purchase. As far as I know, any SD card that is 2GB capacity is not SDHC, including micro. I believe SDHC came along when cards began being made with higher than 2GB. A Wikipedia search could likely tell you the range of capacities that SDHC includes.

I'm using an 8GB SDHC card to put some system files on it as a ramdisk - it works fine. I've also used a micro-sd 8GB with adaptor in the slot and it works fine too.

I suspect you mean compact flash (CF) card. Well, I used to like Kingston a lot, until my last purchase turned out to be disastrous as I lost tons of pictures. I suggest that you get SanDisk or Lexar. In terms of capacity I am not sure if Lyra 2400 supports more than a couple of GB. They used to advertise 512MB or 1GB CF storage.

I`ve used about 4 different sd cards with no problem. Used 32 GB card as well as a card with adapter, again with no problems. So far have not found any of my cards which didn't work.

I do not own the 2 GB version; however, I have two 3GB versions and I love them. Never a problem and they are relatively fast on the USB 3.0 ports. Easy to install, basically plug-n-play.

I use 64gb SanDisk Extreme... I love it... this is the second camera Im using it with. I mostly HD and video.

Any Class 10 SD Card will work. You can use SD, SDHC, SDXC. I would stick with a name brand since you will probably be using this for paid gigs and reliability is more important than price.

Is anyone aware how long a video can be recorded on a 2GB SD card vs. a 4GB card? I'm not sure which frame rate video options the SD800 offers but assuming there's a "good" quality rate, how many minutes can I expect to get on each? I'm debating on whether to splurge on the 4GB card.thanks!!

I would agree to go for the 4gig, but wait a while because sandisk offers frequent mail in rebates. Including the rebate, I saw this item for 115$, brand new on Buy.com. I was angry because I bought it a few days earlier for 125$. The price changes alot, so be patient and wait for a good deal.
