I have found the Patriot 16GB SDHC Class 10 at Fry's for $50 is very compatible and a great value. Avoid all SDHC Class 2 or 4 if you intend to video. Class 6 is probably ok.Some cards cause the TX7 to ask for removal and reinsertion or even re-formatalthough it has been formated in the camera and photos processed.

A Class 6 SDHC card (which I intend to buy in 32GB for my own TX7 when the price is right) would be faster than a Memory Stick Pro Duo Mark2 and probably even a faster than a Sony Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo (since these have been around for years). My TX7 came with an instruction manual which suggests that Mark2 is sufficient; this would correspond to about a Class 4, but I'd go with a Class 6 just to be safe. In no way can a TX7 (or any similar device) come close to taking advantage of a Class 10 SDHC.Hope this helps.

Thanks for your advice. I will buy a Panasonic 4GB Class 6 Pro High speed SDHC card - 20MB/s.

I have been using San Disk for years. The Extreme Pro works lightning fast (i.e. 12 FPS) in my Sony A77's. I have never had shutter lag or buffer fill. I wouldn't use any other memory card than San Disk. www.budralstonphotography.com

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at Lexar Professional 400x 16GB SDHC UHS-I Flash Memory Card LSD16GCTBNA400 . I am happy to say the choice was on the money as this card is amazingly fast, and greatly improves the use and experience with this camera. Hopefully this helpful, good luck!

I'm going to stand behind class 2. I purchased a class 6 and class 4 from Sandisk and they blast 2gb file transfers over to the cards but this one is well below class 4. Good card and holds files good but definitely slower.

I bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s 10 SDHC1 8GB memory card to use with it, but the regular one like you listed is the other type that I use. Either works well, although I like the higher end one for quality. This camera is more expensive, but very excellent.

I recommend the SanDisk Extreme Pro | SDHC UHS-I Card (95 MB/s).Maximum speed for burst shooting, fast transfers and Full HD video. I use 16 Gb.

Get a SanDisk ultra II Memory Stick PRO DUO Adapter. I paid just a few dollars for mine via amazon.com and it works like a charm. The Sony duo stick will work in my SD slot but its small size is fully consumed, which makes it difficult to remove. The SanDisk adapter makes removal much easier.

You can get away with a class 6 card. The class in card symbolizes write speeds and class 10 is generally for shooting raw files on a pro camera at bursts. Class 6 is more than fine for most cameras. The size of the card is completely up to you. If you get a 32 GB card you can go a lot longer without having to download your material off the card. I am using a 16GB in mine and I offload the files off the card onto my computer about once a month and it works great. You may shoot more pictures and video than me though.

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.

Which SD memory card have you had better experience with? The 2GB Kingston Elite Pro or the 2GB Sandisk Ultra II? I'm looking into memory cards now and I have not read the best things about Kingston products.

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.

I have a tab 2 and the memory card works in that. The number 6 is the card speed, higher numbers work faster and are required for hd video. The number 6 is good for most applications.

Yes, Class 10 is better than class 6 memory cards for full HD video (1080p)

When I bought my camera I bought a Transcend 32 Gb class 10 sdhc flash memory,thru Amazon for $24.00. Lots of storage and I love it. You need the 10 rating. I don't think I will ever have to buy another one. Hope this helps

the higher the class the better, but from sd specs alone, technically a class 4 at 4 megs/second should be sufficient since it can write atleast 3.6 gigs in 15 minutes, when you only need 1 gig per 15 minutes for this camera. I would suggest getting atleast a class 4 just to be on the safe side. (although a class 2 will be 1.8 gigs per 15 minutes), so you need a card that can write at fast speeds.
