What type/brand of SD card does it take and how many GB will it handle? My machine didn't accept a 2GB PNY optima SD. But did accept a 1GB.

The user manual doesn't really say. I have yet to use the SD slot, so I'm not sure what the capacity is. Sorry.

It takes only the standard Sandisk. But it has slots for 2 of them so your max memory would be 128Gig, with two 64 gig cards. There's also a way to record directly to a PC, but I've never had a memory shortage problem, and I've never tried it.

Not sure but I've used 2gb sd cards, I like these cameras because they are simple and do a great job, I used several of them

I bought a very inexpensive 2GB SD card of the Crucial brand. These are almost always on sale somewhere on the Web. It's not rated at a super high speed (40x), but it seems to work fast enough in my A590IS. I contacted Canon Tech support re. what would be the optimum speed chip to get for the 590 and they didn't seem to know. Duuuh..., so I ended up with the Crucial. I don't use the highest res setting, as the lens isn't really up to it, so there's room for plenty O' pix on the 2 Gigger. .bh.

You can use a maximum of 32 GB of memory. They told me to buy a class 10, which has a faster write speed. Be sure the card is seated completely in the slot. I realistically don't think that any SD card would make it say no SD card unless it's more than 32 GB. Based on my experience, I don't believe your problems are going to end there. You will most likely end up returning it. If you do, remember to remove your SD card. Some people forget to do that.

Guy - Thank you for your response. Is it possible that it was the size (64G) as opposed to it being an SDHC? I read that it will only support up to 32G. Also I believe it needs to be formatted to FAT, but I could be wrong. It seems somewhat pointless if it only works with SD cards without the High Capacity as almost all of them are SDHC these days.

Interesting. I never even knew that standard SD (not SDHC) were available up to 8 gig. I thought that they maxed out at 2 gigs. good to know. Wish the thing DID read SDHC at the card slot. Still, it's a pretty nice device.

We're using a Sandisk 4G SD high capacity card and its working great. I think any of the SD cards work. Best to get biggest you want to buy for max pics.

Personally, I went with a 64 gb one... But to be more specific... It can handle all standard current MICRO sd card types...

I've got a 1GB regular Sandisk and 2GB Ultra II Sandisk, and they both work flawlessly. I'd guess it's just you need a good name brand card?

Buy a 4gb sd card that is the only one that works dont buy a bigger capacity as it wont work

It takes the mini SD cards. But I'm not sure what the maximum GB size mini SD card it takes. I imagine it can take any size capacity.

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.

I use a 32GB SDHC card, works great. The manual says that's the maximum capacity.

You can use any card labeled "SD", up to 2 GB. For SD cards over 2 GB, only cards labeled "SDHC" (SD High Capacity) will work with this camera. I personally use a cheap Kingston 2 GB SD card. It works just as well as SanDisk, and I haven't had any problems with it. Here's a link to it on Amazon. Kingston 2 GB SD Flash Memory Card SD/2GB

Not 100% sure, the manual does not state a maximum allowed storage card, only the supported types. I have a 32GB in mine and it works just fine. Hope this kind of helps...

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.
