Kat;I used the Kingston 4G SCHD card. Try formating your card in the camera, it may work that way.Good Luck

Hey Fish! Consumer Reports gives the A590 IS a "Best Buy" rating. It's the only "Best Buy" awarded out of 189 "point and shoot" cameras they've tested. I've use their "Best Buy" advice to purchase everything from batteries to BMWs. They've never given me a bum steer.

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.

I use a 4G SDHC card in my A590IS and have been very satisifed with the results. The 4G size will allow about 1850 pictures at the highest resolution or over an hour of video.

Which one? I tried the Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card (SDSDB-4096, BULK, No Reader), and it isn't compatible. Thanks, Kat

Amazonian, if you were me would you reconsider and go with another brand such as the lumix LZ7 and along with the sanDisk Extreme card you mentioned? I am not sure if I care all that much for a camera vunerable to mechanical problems due to the possibility of vapor water etc.. What is the warranty for the 590 IS? Will it be wise to cancel the order and wait for a newer reliable outdoor camera? This is weird, one would tend to think canon would at least engineer a camera for outdoor activity. Suppose I want to use it on a damp day along a wooded trail or campsite? Could you suggest what might be best in my case? thanks again Amazonian, if you were me would you reconsider and go with another brand such as the lumix LZ7 and along with the sanDisk Extreme card you mentioned?

I'm using a class 4 8GB SDHC card (Sandisk Ultra II) with my Canon S90 camera. Haven't gotten any hiccups so far and it loads images plenty fast for me. Though there are some cameras out there that will want a minimum speed from SD cards. For instance, most dslr cameras will benefit from using class 6 (minimum write speed of 6MB/sec) SD cards because it can shoot multiple frames per second. Some go as high as 9fps. There aren't very many Point and Shoot cameras that support such a high frame rate so in short they can't benefit from the latest and greatest SDHC cards.

JC - thank you so much for the wonderful suggestion about using a separate SD card reader! i, too was about to purchase the Canon A1000 IS and was turned off by the negative reviews of the software.i have a SansDisk card reader (that accepts SDHC) and plan to go this route. Thanks again!VK

I purchased this one fo a slower machine. It went into a Digital Recorder for my Studio. I also shoot Photography Professionally and I've found that the Faster Class 10 Memory Cards work the best. When shooting photography you want the best CF or SD card you can get. With Photography I also use the larger size memory cards. I hope that helps. If you have any questions in regards to photography I'd be more than happy to answer it if I can.

It would be best to check your owners manual to see the type of memory cards that are supported on the camera. Or even Nikon's website if in the case the camera had its software updated, it may support more range of memory cards now.

Always FORMAT new cards first in camera, I have been using the 16GB for quite sometimes now, no problem what's so ever!! Good luck!!

For certain the Canon A1100IS handles 32 Gbyte SD Memory Cards, that's what I'm using. I also want to affirm that it will handle 64 Gbyte SD Memory cards but can't verify due to dropping my first AS1100IS into Sweetwater River and I'm sure that my 64 GByte card was in that camera. Couldn't fish it out in hopes of recovering the memory card. My wife also has a Canon AS1100IS, that's three of them we have purchased and are pleased with the results. I've had good experience repairing the A1100IS because Canon has a helpful U.S. parts department.

You can definitely use a 2 GB card with this. I have the S2 IS and I even called Canon before buying my 2 GB card. You should have absolutely no problems!

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!

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at Lexar Professional 400x 16GB SDHC UHS-I Flash Memory Card LSD16GCTBNA400 . 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!

Which memory card would work best all around in the canon sx260, a sandisk card rated 6 or a faster rated 10? Some have suggest either would do fine for still pictures while others suggested that a 10 rated card would be better for HD video. But is there a big difference in performance in this camera between the two?

I've used 32gb cards without issue. I did have an issue with a 64gb card though, but I am not sure if it was the card or the camera.

I purchased my camera about a month ago (Aug. 2012) and it still says 16GB max. I actually had the same question.....to be on the safe side I just put a 16 in but would have preferred a 32GB. db

Always assume a camera does NOT come with a memory card unless it specifically states that it does. Most cameras (from all manufacturers) have very little built-in memory; perhaps enough for a couple photos just to test out the camera. Memory cards are relatively inexpensive. For cameras that support both SD and SDHC it's probably best to stick with SDHC Class 6 (Class 4 may be OK if on a tight budget, but avoid Class 2). If they support only SD, you want one of the faster SD cards usually rated 50x or 133x or labeled with words like as "ultra" or "elite" or "extreme". Although many cameras aren't even fast enough to fully utilize that speed you don't want the memory card to be the bottleneck, so don't just get the cheapest/slowest one you can find since even the moderately fast ones are pretty low-cost. Also note, for this camera specifically, it says: "Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included)" So any SDHC Class 4 or higher card should probably be fine. Even some of the cheaper brands like Transcend seem to work OK in most of my cameras/devices, although the bigger name brands like Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston, or the HP-branded ones might be slightly better quality in some cases. I think 2GB is plenty for most point and shoot cameras (and many people get by with even smaller ones) but going larger means you can store more photos before needing to transfer them to a computer. Keep in mind that if you have only one card and it gets lost or damaged or stolen before you transfer them to a computer you could lose all your photos. That's why I usually go with the smaller cards and use more than one card if I need to take a ton of photos, or go with an Eye-Fi card that can transfer the photos to a computer or the web wirelessly if you're near a usable Wi-Fi network and leave the camera turned on long enough for them to upload. Those are a little pricey, but available from Amazon, or the eye.fi site, or from Google with an online storage plan ( http://www.eye.fi/google ).

I'm using a 32 GB with out any problem. And after a bit of research can find no restrictions as to size of memory card. The 32GB has ample room even with max pixle size photos.
