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 haven't found a maximum size listed in any of Canon's documentation. The camera should be compatible with any existing SDHC card currently made and, theoretically at least, any future SDHC card (though it may require a firmware update).

I agree with L.F. Hunter - I have used a Transcend 8GB and 16GB Card with my Canon 1100 and they work great and are fast (Class 6 speed). I think, but may be wrong, that the limit with this camera is a 32GB SDHC card. I use my camera for a lot of video and the 16 GB card allows up to 127 minutes of video or up to 4,496 Superfine, 8MP photos.

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

The max GB SD card just jumped up to 512 this last September. We're getting closer and closer to the 2 TB max. Hopefully the prices drop quickly too. :-) http://www.sandisk.com/about-sandisk/press-room/press-releases/2014/sandisk-premieres-worlds-highest-capacity-sd-card-for-high-performance-video-and-photo-capture/

I agree with the answer below. I have used a SD 2 gb, but if you are going somewhere where you might see great things all day, visiting a national park or a foreign city, then 4-8. I have some items which I photograph almost daily, and then empty the card. In that case, a small one works well enough.

I haven't used the extra SDXC card in a while, but I have used a 32 gb SDHC and my usualy 64 gb SDXC without any problems in the past. If I remember correctly I had to go through the menu and make sure to format the cards before using them. Also, make sure you download the latest firmware from the Canon website it fixes problems with SDXC and a few other issues. I just got a 128 gb SDXC for a long trip I'll be taking and don't anticipate any problems. All my cards are Class 10 and my SDXC cards are both PNY

I plugged in a 64GB and it seemed to work, but looking at the file setup it is apparently only using 32GB of it. I have since swapped it out for a 32GB and used the 64GB in my Canon camera.

I have a Canon Powershot SD780 myself and have used a 16Gb card over and over with no troubles. The 4gb-PER-CLIP limit realistically kicks in at just over 21 minutes when shooting 1280x720x30fps. I once had trouble with a 32gb card which died after shooting a lot of continuous video on a warm night, i think that (inexpensive off-brand of) card might have "melted" (camera was getting hot). But i have NEVER had trouble with 16GB or 8GB SDCH cards in the Powershot SD780. Nice camera :)

Before I purchased this camera, I checked many sites regarding which card to use-Internal memory of only 52MB was not enough for my use-the end result was purchasing a SanDisk 16GB Ultra card. There are 32GB Ultra cards also available. Bottom line: Internal memory is very limiting, and the use of an Ultra card (recommended over a basic SD card) will add peace of mind while shooting "extra" pictures or extended-video. Great camera, by the way!

Any brand of SD card should work. If you mean size, it depends on how much you want to spend. I use a 2 GB card and have never run out of space before I uploaded the pictures on it to my computer.

Surely your camera's instructions describe what card size to use.All SD cards are the same size (about a postage stamp) regardless of capacity (2gb, 32gb, etc.). If your camera takes SD, it takes SD.

About the only reason for MOST PEOPLE to get more than a 2 GB SD card is because they intend to take movie clips. It would take an awful lot of still photos to fill up a 2 GB card! If you intend to take a lot of movies, go for a larger card.With any of these cameras, if you intend to take long movie clips, use either a high speed SD card or a fast SDHD card. I have to be honest. I am somewhat ignorant of the real world speeds of the SDHD cards, compared to the high speed SD cards, though there are websites that do comparisons of such things.

Samantha, I have 2 SanDisk 16GB CF cards which I use with my 7d and 20d with no problem. The only reason I haven't purchased a 32 GB is the 16's are usually as much as I need. I have a friend with a 60d and a 7d who uses his 32GB disks especially when "birding." He uses burst mode continually when 'birding."

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.

I currently use a 4gb card with no problem. Though I need to carry a spare battery to get close to it's capacity (except in RAW or extreme resolution images). I have seen nothing to restrict you to 4gb.
