Best Memory Card: What would be the highest quality, best performing memory card for the DMC-TZ3?

Stockinv, As John McQuitty recomments the ScanDisk Ultra II and Extreme III memory cards work well in this Camera. I am using the Ultra II 1GB in My TZ3 with no problems, but would recommend you try the Extreme III 1-2GB or any of the Panasonic high speed (Class 6) cards available. Amazon has good deals on the Extreem III 2GB and Panasonic 2GB (class 6) memory cards.

I bought a 2 GB Sandisk Extreme III (20 MB/s write rate). It works fantastically. I was able to continuously record video until I completely filled the card (over 18 minutes) with 480x640 resolution at 30 frames per second (like a standard digital camcorder). It costs a bit more than standard SD memory cards, but if you are shooting video it is well worth it. I ordered mine from Jowow through Amazon for under $40 delivered.

I tried a 64gb sandisk extreme on it and it created lots of 'dead' files, so I used an old 32gb laying around. no probs with 32. I loved the video quality so gave to my husband for his minivan, and got myself a DOD TECH LS460W (via Amazon) no probs using the 64gb card. I think with 460w you can even use the 128. time is atomic, and it has gps, and speed data.

32GB Amazon SD card has worked flawlessly for me so far. Also recommend getting the Opteka NP-FV70 (if still available, I haven't checked) aftermarket battery. The 32GB card should give you 3+ hours of HD recording on the highest resolution. The battery at a full charge will give you 3+ hours of juice to do it. You should be very happy with the combination.

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ADFTUG/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . 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!

The memory card is a Sony UHS Class 10 rated at 40 MB/s. It worked quite well for me during a trip I went on. It was able to capture the highest res JPEGs very quickly in burst mode. One item to note: If I was capturing JPEG + RAW, it would do maybe 4-5 images per second. If you're looking to do JPEG + RAW, you may want to look for something a bit faster. The tripod is very small (maybe 4" tall). Unfortunately, I didn't keep the box, so I don't remember the brand of the tripod. In general, the memory card was the only thing where I noticed that it was a well-known name brand. That being said, all of the extras (memory card, case, and extra battery) have worked quite well for me.

You can buy one here on Amazon: Transcend 16GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card Up to 30MB/s (TS16GSDHC10E) Rich

Any standard Sandisk memory card. I would not spend the extra for the "extreme" series unless you are planning on climbing Everest.

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.

Any SDHC memory card. If class 4 - upto 16Gb and if class 10 - upto 64Gb. The link below would be perfect for example: Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card (TS32GSDHC10E)

I am using a PNY 4 GB SDHC card. They are very inexpensive. About $5 to $10.

I am a Canon shooter, but several of my friends use Nikons. We all feel the SanDisk compact flash cards are the most reliable. I have been using SanDisk cards for nearly ten years, and Those cards are still reliable. I can't say that about some other cheaper brands. Each of the others worked fine at first, but they eventually failed, some after as few as 6 months. For my shooting, a 16 GB compact flash card is almost always sufficient, but I do carry a 4GB and an 8GB card just in case.

SanDisk Memory Card, 32 Gigabyte SDHC CLASS 6 has done a really good job. NO card errors whatsoever and has sustained loop recording without a hitch.

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.

Hi, I've used a 16 Gb Class 6 Verbatim card with my ZS3 with no problems whatsoever even if recording action HD video at full resolution & quality.Just for instance, I recorded the outside view from a high-speed train running at some 217 mph at the time, and it neither missed frames nor gave any error messages, despite trees, houses, and everything passing by at dizzying speed. The resulting 1280x720 @ 30 fps HD video played smoothly on my TV and high-end PC monitor.Regards.

Hi chris, a 32gb Memory card is the highest capacity card tested and proven to have worked with this camera. Thanks_Mitch
