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

One of the things that contributes to the speed between shots is the speed of the memory card in the camera. The faster the write speed the better. Of course, the camera has it's limits as well. Memory card speed is determined by what "Class" it is. Class 2's are basic slow types. Class 4 & 6's are faster. Prices have come down on these cards and can be found on sale and at good prices in lots of places, including here. I'd get at least a class 4 (which is what I did) for this camera. Since this model shoots once every 1.4 seconds or so, a class 6 card would not be worth the cost since it's not a rapid shooting unit. Another thing that will slow down between shots is using a flash. The camera shoots faster than the flash can recharge, so if a flash is needed, there will be an added delay if the flash is turned on. I like the way the flash is designed on this camera. Flipping the flash up or down assures you, and does it simply, that the flash is in the mode you want it to be in. No mistakes, it's simple. No special mode or button to look for. Flash up, it's on, flash down, it's off. It is so neat that way. Using some good quality rechargeable AA's will improve the flash recharge time between shots as well.

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ADFTUG/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . 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!

First, check your camera's owners manual to see what type of card Canon recommends. While this card is a "Class 10" which is for video, the transfer rate is very slow (30MB per second). If you can afford it, you will want to purchase a card that writes much faster. The Sandisk Extreme writes at 45MB per second, where the Sandisk Extreme Pro writes at 95MB per second. Again, you're owners manual will tell you if the higher speed cars will work in your camera.

From Canon's product support - Solution: The maximum memory card capacity is 2048 GB The maximum card capacity for the Compact Flash Card standard is 2048 GB. You camera model currently supports FAT32 allowing for larger than 2GB capacities to be used.

I would strongly recommend class 10 SDHC cards for the EXILM. The higher speed card is going to allow the camera to empty from it's buffers to the card as fast as possible, providing the best results.

I agree with L.F. Hunter - I have used a Transcend 8GB and 16GB Card with my Canon 1100 and they work great and are fast (Class 6 speed). I think, but may be wrong, that the limit with this camera is a 32GB SDHC card. I use my camera for a lot of video and the 16 GB card allows up to 127 minutes of video or up to 4,496 Superfine, 8MP photos.

I bought a 32GB microSD/TFcard for my Android tablet. It runs so much faster and smoother. I'm sure just about any microSD flash card will do, but I bought SanDisk brand because it's a name I trust the most. You can find really good deals on microSD cards at TigerDirect.com or at a local Best Buy.

I have used both Sandisk Extreme Memory Stick and Compact Flash cards and the CF card is much faster on this camera.

SanDisk SDCFX3-2048-901 2 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Card is the recommended choice. You can find this card selling in the $20 - $30 price range. The camera will not read anything larger than 2 GB. As for the reader i have the ULTRA PRODUCTS 22-in-1 Media Card Reader 31803 which sells in the $20 price range. Both of these products can be found on Amazon.com.

I suspect you mean compact flash (CF) card. Well, I used to like Kingston a lot, until my last purchase turned out to be disastrous as I lost tons of pictures. I suggest that you get SanDisk or Lexar. In terms of capacity I am not sure if Lyra 2400 supports more than a couple of GB. They used to advertise 512MB or 1GB CF storage.

i bought the Kingston 16 GB Class 4 MicroSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter SDC4/16GB and have it in my Camera and it works perfectly. i have my camera set to HD mode and it gives me almost 3 hours of recording time.

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?

The D800 supports a number of popular cards:Type 1 CompactFlashSDSDHCSDXCI'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.
