memory card Can I use an SanDisk 8 gb sdhc with the canon sd790 is?

Thanks Tech Guy. I see that it takes SDHC, and the video size limitation is fine by me. I'll have to see if I can get an a solid answer from Canon's tech support on if the 790 can take advantage of the faster in-camera processing Class 6 cards have (the upload to computer speed advantage doesn't mean much to me), and if it varies by brand. I also am wondering if I'll need to replace my current SD card reader if I do buy and use any of these higher capacity / faster SD cards.

Is that "should" a definite yes?Also, can I use a "Class 6" sdhc card, or will it only accept a "Class 4". Thanks.

I've seen benchmark tests of various SD/SDHC cards and there do see to be speed differences according to brand. SanDisk is usually at or somewhere near the top so they're a safe bet.If you have an old SD card reader then you may well need to replace it. If you have documentation for the reader and it doesn't list being able to read cards above 2GB then it might be too old to support SDHC cards.

I have the same camera, but did not purchase that card. I purchased 8GB Sandisk MicroSDHC Memory Card and it has been working well. My memory card is very small and needs an adapter with it to put it into the kiosk.

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

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

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.

Yes, this one works well for me in my RPi: SanDisk Ultra 8 GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card 30MB/s SDSDU-008G-U46

I purchased my SD890 IS from Amazon last year just because of this problem with my older Canon SD 700IS. Perhaps Canon can help with this issue. I just took a photo for a test and the flash worked on A - ISO HI and the picture seems to be fine. Perhaps it's your settings that play a part in this issue. SS

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!

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.

It works with my 8GB SDHC...I think I read 16GB is the maximum it supports.

I have used an 8 GB SD card with no problems. I haven't used the camera much in a long time, so I can't say if it can accept larger cards.

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.

According to page 232 of the Canon G9 user guide, you CAN use SDHC memory cards, provided that you format the card 'IN YOUR CAMERA'. Here is the link to the user guide, which you may download to your computer also. Hope this helps! http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0/0900009910/01/PSG9_CUG_EN.pdf P.S. Make sure that you have Adobe Reader installed on your computer, so that you can read and/or print out the manual! Adobe Reader is available for free at Adobe.com. Also, it looks like you will have to copy and paste the URL I provided, as it doesn't seem to function as a link here in my answer.

I have no idea, but the 'card' is one of the 1/2 card for the older cameras. Depends on the size your camera takes.

Yes it will! And it is a great way to go. TINY form-factor when the microSDHC goes into a USB adapter...and cheap. No issues whatsoever using SanDisk 8 gig microSDHC. I got a package last year that included the tiny USB reader along with the card for under $20.
