My wife and I pre-production ordered a couple of these. We are experienced photographers,(WAY back to Rolliflexes, Pentaxes, Color darkroom CP5/C22/E-4/E6, etc.et.) and memories of lugging gadget bags full of lenses made us not want to the go the SLR route. I am tired of being a pack mule. Commercial reveiws are more partial to Nikons, Canons, etc. regarding image quality, but comparing it to my Canon G5, the little Sony, and the earlier Nikon Coolpix I have had, I am very satisfied. "Needs tripod at longer zoom settings". Of course it does.. 26X? Come on. Image stabilization has its practical limits and of course you have to do your part. I use it for product and nature macros, among all the casual uses. Landscape shots are not as punchy as I would like, but post-processing takes care of that. I wish they has a filter thread, as a polarizer would fix that. One may have to use a circular polarizer..I will be trying that. For the last 24 hours, I have used the time-lapse feature to create an animation of seeds sprouting and sprouts opening. We have had the cameras since Late March. I continue to be surprised by it. There is nothing I have wanted to do that this camera has not delivered, and I have routinely taken shots I could never have gotten with film. Ergonomically, it could be more comfortable. My wife is left-handed, and it is a little clumsy for her, but she has not complained. To date I have taken a couple of thousand shots with it. Battery life is not bad, even with run-of-the-mill alkalines, but I am using the Energizer Lithiums now, as I always did in my other cameras, and strongly suggest them for important trips or outings. The first set is still in the camera, doing that time-lapse run right now, 3 shots/minute for 24 hours. I am very satisfied with the SP-590UZ and doubt I will be shopping for another camera for a long time. I give it 8/10.

You can use a small one. The rom files are tiny by today's standards. I think no more that a gig is needed, you could even get a considerable library of games onto 256k or 512k. g\Good luck finding one that small nowadays, though.

If you're talking about the seller that says 1GB, it is most likely 1GB. When these first came out, they had only 1GB to start with, and you are able to upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (That's what the motherboard supports; Any more than 2GB and it won't be used - With that said, I wouldn't trust the sellers with 4GB ones.) Even if you did buy a 1GB one, upgrading that to 2GB is VERY cheap nowadays, so you don't have to worry.

No these are two sticks of 1 GB each. so if you 2 GB you might be having the same thing. This will not give any upgrade to you. Also for me one stick didn't work, had to throw it.

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.

4 gig is advertised, but after OS overhead, etc., there is only 2.8 gig or so available.

Looking to pick up the "mini" samsung but want to upgrade to more RAM. Can anyone tell me if there are 2 slots for a 1GB each or do i need to pick up one 2GB card? I thought i saw somewhere someone was saying they upgraded to 4GB which led me to believe it could take up to 2-2GB cards...but wasnt sure. Anybody know anything?

Yes. They have a number you can text now to keep up with it. I recommend just going with the 2.5GB.

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

good evening, I will actually install a 32 gb and not think of any problem, now I have a 16 gb and goes just as well.

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$

It comes with 2GB why did you upgrade all the way to 4GB, did it add that much more speed? and how much extra of a cost? Are you still happy with it?Thanks

Do you mean 256MB? If so, there is hardly any capacity there. Why not buy one of the many 32 or 64GB cards you can get just about anywhere for less than $25.

I think every person looks for the best price at the time of purchase. If you found a better deal on a single 8GB then I say go for it. No kit or nothing special about the 2x8GB.

I think 16gb is way more than I needed. I use less than 8 on average. Once I saw it jump over 8 to close to 9. So I allocated 6gb for my motherboard to use as quick access hd storage. I think you would be more than ok picking up this set or a 2x8gb set.

You should probably look up the manual.... the 16 GB (if I recall correctly) is not supported, only a maximum of 8 GB.

Best Buy has been running 2 GB's for 54.99, online and in store - reg. 189.00 - it ends today. I haven't ck'd this am but they still had some yesterday afternoon. No rebates, they handle all those , finally a company that understands how frustrating getting those rebates actually mailed to you is - so the 54.99 is the pay for price, my state taxes + S&H; came to $64.64. Can't get 2GB's at that price anywhere. But check to see what your laptops max expansion is - my laptop has a 4GB max - some have NONE.
