I had the same question so I spoke with a Canon rep today. He recommended SanDisk but noted that the sd780is only writes up to 18-19 MB/sec. So it's essentially a waste of money to purchase a card that writes any faster than 20 MB/sec.

I had the same question at the same time! Just found the answer here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid;=145&mode;lid=18183#SupportDetailAct and search for "largest" - it is the first answer in the list that comes up. For SDHC, it says: Secure Digital High Capacity currently supports capacities up to 32 GB.

I use 4GB Sandisk Extreme III SDHC cards in mine, along with a SanDisk reader for quickly transferring the image files to our computers. The 4GB size are often on sale for less than $20 after rebates. They work fine for video and still photos with this camera and the fancier Lumix models.

I use a 16 GB SDHC card and it has worked perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about this camera, very happy with it!

Are you sure they said the max size was 8 GB? Some people talk about using a 16 GB card on here. Maybe they meant 8 GB was the largest SDHC card available when the camcorder came out?

I have a 16 GB SDHC card in mine, and have never come CLOSE to filling it! Hope this helps!

I'm having the same problem using a Sandisk 64GB, 30MB/s SDHC card. Packaging says it can handle "up to 64GB SDHC card". Yeah? Which one? Guess we'll have to run it by the manufacturer...good luck.

I was able to use both a 32 GB SDHC and MicroSD card wih no problems. It just takes patience to download the card but you can tell the unit is working because the % of data downloaded counts up to 100%.

Personally I put in a 4 GB SDHC card and it can hold ~500 pictures on the highest quality setting. I don't think you need much more memory than about 8 GB with this camera.

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.

The S3 was released nearly 3 years ago. The product description only mentions SD memory, not SDHC. Therefore your best bet is to use SD card with 2GB or lower.

Thanks for the info. I have decided on the 720 but am now confused on the memory card debate. I have read/heard conflicting opinions on sd vs sdhc. I'm thinking an sd 2gb should do everything I need without memory card error risks. Any thoughts as to upgrading beyond?

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..

It is a very good card!!, but if u don't mind spending more I would buy a 780, 780 should be about 20% faster. Regards!!

The camera came with a 8 GB TOPRAM SD HC. I haven't tried to use any other card in it.

I bought a Transcend 16gb (they do come in different sizes). Class 10 SDHC. This does a nice job for me.
