1 or 2 GB, Regular or High Speed SD Card? Has anyone used a 2 GB card with this camera?

I just bought this camera with a PQI 2 GB SD card and do not have any problems with it. In fact, trying to format the card on my PC only gave me 1 GB of available space so i formated it on the SD600 and got the proper 1.86 GB available memory. For what it's worth, I can get 711 pictures on best (superfine) quality with this card.

SD cards. If you want to take videos they recommend class 6 or higher speed. It will handle 2 - 64 Gig cards. I have a 32in mine. 32 gig gives you about 4900 pictures at high res, or 2hrs,47 min of video.

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 recommend the SanDisk Extreme Pro | SDHC UHS-I Card (95 MB/s).Maximum speed for burst shooting, fast transfers and Full HD video. I use 16 Gb.

I don't know if any SD card is so much better than another, but any name brand SD HC card works. I happen to like SanDisk myself. I use an 8gb currently but I know up to 64gb are available. To give you an idea of time, at 1080P (HD) video setting, I use approx 100mb per minute of filming, so 1gb is ~ten minutes: 8gb card should get about 70+ minutes (as an 8 gb card formatted is around 7.3gb usable)

I'm using a 2GB SD card with no problems. I've also used XD and CF cards without a problem.

I have this camera (canon A620) and a kingston 1/2 gb SD card. They work pretty good together, no problem at all. I do not think you would have problem with kingston 1 gb, although (I want to be clear) is not the one I have.

That was my decision. The manufacturer talks about using only their cards, but I can see no logic for it. Having said that, I find the 16 GB card to met my needs just fine. They suggest formating the card while it is in the camera "every 1-2 weeks, for optimum performance". That's easily accomplished by pressing the button near the power input on the camera and holding it for ten seconds.

This camera does NOT come with an SD card. I used my old one, a 2GB. It holds only 12 minutes of video empty, and about 450 pictures.

In case anyone reads this.... I am using this camera with a 64gb Compact Flash card with no problems. (Transcend) I have not tried with a 64gb SDHC card. However, I am using a 32gb SDHC card in at the same time with no problems.

I have a 32GB card, so far I have not had any problems. However, I only have the camera a little over a month. In my previous camera I had 1 and 2GB cards and they never failed me.

It takes one SD memory card. I've used sandisk 8gb 45mb/s with this camera, works great!

We're using a Sandisk 4G SD high capacity card and its working great. I think any of the SD cards work. Best to get biggest you want to buy for max pics.

I got a 16GB Class 6 Sandisk card before our vacation to Europe. On a bicycle ride around a lake the camera would stop midstream in a video shoot and said something like "the data stream is too fast for the card". I was shooting in the highest HD mode. It happened several times so high speed action (a lot of data) is too fast for a Class 6. Buy a faster card. I wish I had.

I have used a 16Gb card in it. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMCORDER!! It has a known issue with it's auto-focus.

I successfully used 64MB and 256MB xD cards with this camera. Not sure about the maximum capacity but the 256MB worked very well for me.

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.
