If you have a Personal Computer with Windows 7, I would use the 64GB. If you have Windows XP like I do, I use the 32GB. It's just less of a hassle so you have compatibility between the XA1 and your PC for editing Video. Keep in mind the Battery Life on this camera is maybe about an hour at best, so carry some spare batteries if you want to do a lot of video and fill up the memory cards. Then you have the fun later of doing all the Edits.

If you are recording at 1080p you will need a 64GB card and at 720p a 32GB card. I have used Lexar class 10 cards for several years in my other digital recorders as well as the Adixxion. None have dropped frames or failed for me.

Mine didn't come with a card either. I bought a 64 GB Sony SD/XC card and a spare battery. Since I bought it with the intention of using it while hiking, backpacking, kayaking and SCUBA diving, I didn't want to have to worry about running out of memory or juice- especially while SCUBA diving!

Purely self promotional. Video demands that the SD card be capable of FAST recording data rates. Get a Class 6 SD card (class 4 as a minimum) and you will be very happy. I would recommend 16GBs as a minimum capacity. To the best of my knowledge Memory sticks are only available in the base class 2 speed, hence they really cannot be better than SD cards for video.

Buy the used one from Amazon Warehouse Deals. They are returns, but some or perfect, that is how I got mine, a lot cheaper, Mine is perfect. X5 is the best, has two card slots. It supports 128gb micro sd per slot.

Any Class 10 SD Card will work.You can use SD, SDHC, SDXC. I would stick with a name brand since you will probably be using this for paid gigs and reliability is more important than price.

SanDisk is a good brand! Either a 32 GB or a 64 GB is good. Just made sure it is a Class 10 card. You need that speed. I think the SanDisk number is SDSDQXL-032 or 064. Lexar is also good and Delkin is OK. Practically any card will work provided it is rated Class 10.

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

Any SD card will work but you might have to format it for the FujiFilm camera. If you haven't bought it yet, look around the FujiFilm XP 60 is not worth it.

My NEX didn't come with an SD card and I don't know what, if any, small onboard storage exists. I would recommend an SD card no smaller than 8GB so you can really take a lot of photos and not worry about what you're going to do with them. Also, if you're going to shoot RAW, consider going at least 16GB as you'll fill up your card even quicker.

Hi, maybe my question is for some techies ridiculous, but I'm totally ignorant and not very familiar with these things. Thus If I want to buy a micro SD/SDHC card for the Clip Zip, what class do I have to purchase ? Class 2, class 6, class 8 ? Thks for your advice

Linda,Sorry this comes so long after you posted. I was just looking at micro sd cards and saw this. The 530 HCX is the best choice. If this person spends time in the outdoors with other folks, he will use both the GPS and the radio. It also has all the NOAA Weather radio stations.Hope this wasn't too late!2wltime

I never used it without an SD card but they are good cameras I run a lot of different brands on my hunting property and for the money this is my favorite. I have 6 in the field now and can't wait to check um when I get off work in 3 weeks. Do yourself a favor and get the 32g sd card and if your gonna bugger up your spot by checkin the cam every couple days run it on video mode cus it takes great video too

I bought a 32MB mini SD card and took it on vacation. I took over 1800 pictures and maybe 40+ videos and I still had room for another 3000+ pictures. 16MB might be plenty but for the small price difference the 32MB will serve you well.

Installation and use are very straight forward and easy to use. We used ours on a 6 week road trip to Alaska and back.Just noticed other respondents reply about memory SD card. I would advice the largest SD card that it is capable of using. If you intend to use on road trips, get TWO so you can switch out while on the road.

Aloha Manny! I have successfully used a 128GB SD Card with about 16 hours of video.

Any speed SD card, but you should put in a class 6 and above, so it can keep up with the full HD and burst shots

I bought a 2 GB Sandisk Extreme III (20 MB/s write rate). It works fantastically. I was able to continuously record video until I completely filled the card (over 18 minutes) with 480x640 resolution at 30 frames per second (like a standard digital camcorder). It costs a bit more than standard SD memory cards, but if you are shooting video it is well worth it. I ordered mine from Jowow through Amazon for under $40 delivered.
