Best memory for the $ for this camera? Can someone suggest a few 16 GB memory options that would be good for this model?

I know you want to spend under $50, but you need to spend at least $100 and buy the Sandisk Extreme memory card that is 16 gigs, it is a class 10 card and it has a 30mb per second read and if you go anything lower then that, then you will never untap the true potential of this camera Look on here or on Ebay and enter Sandisk Extreme SDHC 16gb and you can find some priced around $100, if you are willing to settle for an 8gb card, you can get the same card for $50 on both sites

I wondered, why would you purchase an additional 4gb of memory when the camera has 15gb built in? Thanks!

I bought from amazon..SanDisk 8 GB Class 4 SD Flash Memory Card SDSDB-008G-AFFP by SanDisk around $ 7.50 holds a HUGE amount of photography. you can also buy them at walmart target, radio shack,, all over the place, maybe even walgreens. don't pay a lot of money. I got 8 gb because I was giving it as a gift, and I didn't know if she would want to do a lot of videos.. 4 gb is good too

Not certain of the memory but I would take an additional memory card so that I did not miss any great photo opps. :)

It depends on what you are looking for. This is an excellent camera, I would recommend the entry level memory until you know what you need after using the device for a while.

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 :)

haven't looked into that yet but i will be taking the camera to a friend of mine that works at a local ritz camera shop. i am hoping he will be knowlege able enought to figure out which memory card can be used.failing that i would think going to the cameras official website "should" provide the info or maybe a link to cantact them and ask questions.i know pc magazine also has a help section.. they might know

I used a memory card, but it was only 32GB SD. I would guess that card would be ok, but I don't know for sure.I think you will be disappointed in this camera as the included software is poor, and streaming doesn't work.

I have a 16GB card i bought from Amazon in there - i use the SanDisk mini-SD card and i also got the adapter so that i can put it into a card reader and pull out the photos. You can also just pull the photos directly from the camera, of course, too. I love this camera! Definitely buy it! The Live Panorama feature is worth the purchase alone!

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 looked in my camera but someone switched sd cards. I believe I had the fast sdhc cards 64 GB. Just to let you know, this camera is amazing... I have the battery charging right to use tomorrow. I bought this camera for a surfing trip in Nicaragua. I was in the water taking picture and set it at its highest resolution and It is GREAT. I have a Lumix camera and this beats it. Plus I can take this one in the water. Hope it helps

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!

There is no built in memory for this camera, and no memory card comes with the camera. There are some stores that will "include" bonus items, like a case or an SD card. I bought mine through COSTCO.com and it came with a free 2GB card. You can buy any size SD card though - Look at Dealnews.com for the best prices. I just bought an 8GB for $15 - that will be MORE THAN ENOUGH unless you are producing movies!! (I have also seen 4GB for $10 as well).

I've used up to 16 GB Sandisk SD card. That will get you around 4,000 high quality photos.

I have a 16gb, 45mb/s SanDisk. The speed is what I found works best for this camera when you are shooting RAW. As to the size, I think you can safely go up to whatever your budget supports. I myself would rather have a couple cards in case one fails as compared to one huge capacity one.

Not an expert in this area. This is my husband's camera, and we just got an 8GB card because it was on sale.

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.
