What is the fastest Compact Flash card that can be used in this camera, and what card is recommended. Thanks

This camera has 2 slots for cards. One is an XD card and the other is one of the larger CF cards. I can not find anything that mentions card speed. When I purchased the current cards the number that is found on the SD cards wasn't on any if the CF cards or XD cards that I looked at.

Sorry, not sure. Haven't used this camera in about two years -- I switched to a Canon 60d

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.

Not sure. This old camera probably does not support such a large card size, and for sure does not support high speed. No need to go faster than say 400x with it.

I use 4GB Sandisk Extreme III SDHC cards in mine, along with a SanDisk reader for quickly transferring the image files to our computers. The 4GB size are often on sale for less than $20 after rebates. They work fine for video and still photos with this camera and the fancier Lumix models.

What interface do the cameras have? Are they newer with usb3 or are they usb2? I could test with a couple dslrs at once for you. However from my experience transfers directly from the camera are slower than a good usb3 card reader.

Right now, Amazon is offering a free Kingston 2GB Secure Digital Memory Card with the purchase of this camera - is that fast enough, or would you recommend something faster/better?

I suggest getting fastest SD card you can. I only see that kind of slow time on these types of camera if you are shooting RAW+ and using slow SD card or continuous shooting mode. If this is supposed to be normal I'd complain to Sony.

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?

Actually it's faster than the Sandisk Extreme which I believe is only at 45mbps...the Sandisk Plus is an equal to it made by Sandisk... but the Extreme Pro is the fastest one out right now. It has a write speed of 90mbps as this has 80mpbs like the Extreme Plus. I'm shooting with a Nikon D800 which shoots in very large RAW files and haven't had a problem at all. I love it. If you are a Sandisk fan I would recommend choosing the Plus or Pro if you aren't getting this.

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.

You can use any card labeled "SD", up to 2 GB. For SD cards over 2 GB, only cards labeled "SDHC" (SD High Capacity) will work with this camera. I personally use a cheap Kingston 2 GB SD card. It works just as well as SanDisk, and I haven't had any problems with it. Here's a link to it on Amazon. Kingston 2 GB SD Flash Memory Card SD/2GB

For fastest performance, turn off the instant shot review, use Priority mode and get the fastest SD cards you can. Using a high ISO can also slow things down due to the noise reduction processing

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 walmarttarget, 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

The D800 supports a number of popular cards: Type 1 CompactFlash SD SDHC SDXC I've ordered mine and I'll be purchasing a large SDXC card to go along with it. Given the size of the pictures, smaller cards will fill up fast. For example, 64gb cards are around $60 on eBay. High speed Sandisk cards are going for around $125.00. However, 64gb Compact Flash cards are faster, but all seem to be selling north of $100. I'll have to try them both to see if the cards are a bottleneck for the data transfer from the camera. Nikon has tested and approved Sandisk and Lexar cards. Hope this helps.

Johnpix had an excellent answer and I quote, "Compact Flash denotes an industry standard memory card design. If it's stated to use a Compact Flash card in your camera's operating manual than this card should work. Suggest after checking your camera manual that if it says to use a Compact Flash card that you buy this card. I have found it to be a very good card for my personal photography. If for some reason it doesn't work for you, take your camera and the card to a camera shop and ask why it's not working. If every option fails, than return it to the seller.

This is both the correct type of card (compact flash) and the correct write speed (~90Mb/s) for all potential photographic and videographic applications of the Canon 5D Mark III. It is even possible to record RAW video files with this camera and Magic Lantern firmware, using a card of this speed.
