What memory card for this camera - does class matter?

SD memory cards are limited to less than 4GB according to the standard. SDHC is a newer extension of the SD memory card standard allowing memory cards to be designed with more memory than 4GB (up to 32GB). While the Rebel XS can use either SD or SDHC cards, your computer may not be able to read the newer SDHC cards if its a few years old so you may need an external SD/SDHC card reader. Generally speaking, photos can be copied faster from a class 6 memory card to your computer when you're using a memory card reader. A Class 6 may also help a bit when you're shooting in burst mode and hit the maximum. A class 4 card will work perfectly fine, just somewhat slower when transfering your photos.

You need a SDHC Class 10 card. I recommend 32GB or more. Here's a really good choice: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Class-Memory-SDSDXS-032G-X46/dp/B00D6Y0U8E/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1380299824&sr=1-3&keywords=32+GB+SDHC+Class+10

If it calls for SD it should fit. Class 10 is what you should use in camera that does video and takes pictures. I had to sent my back. I had an error code when I got mine. I format it. It took pictures. That evening was my daughter birthday. I took pic and video. I saw it on there. Next morning, error on two PC and laptop. It was asking to insert card in. I put it back in the camera. Nothing. I lost the memory of the birthday party. My trust is in Scan disk and kingston card.

You don't need a class 10 card, this camera isn't so fast it would outrun cheaper card.

It uses the big SDHC class 4 cards. I had thought it would use a micro sd, but no. The literature says the camera will support up to a 32 gb card. I bought the Kingston 16gig class 4 SDHC card at the time of purchase for under $10, and it seems to work well.

If I understand it correctly, the Class code relates to the quality/how well it performs for the use/type of recording done (ie, audio, still pictures/photos, or video recording) in a device. If you're using a video camcorder, for example, or taking videos on your digital camera (especially a newer one with HD-High Definition-), you definitely want a Class 10 memory card for the best results.

Hi,CF cards are not class related, it's related to speed category. And this one is pretty good for pro camera's

I have been using a Sandisk 4GB SDHC (class 2 speed), and a Sandisk 8GB SDHC Extreme III (class 6 speed) with this camera and both seem to work fine. I've noticed that some retailers claim in their "specifications" sections that this camera can only use cards up to 2GB (not SDHC), but I haven't found this to be the case. I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to get the full 4-8GB storage capacity out of my cards, but compatibility hasn't been a problem. Hope this info helps.

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

Anyone know if the Transcend SDHC 8GB card would pose any problems with this camera? Is it fast enough? It is a class 6 card.Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6

This camera takes any standard SDHC memory card. Class 10 are the fastest when storing information, so the camera is ready sooner to take your next picture. But anything above class 4, which are very inexpensive now, will do for normal shooting.

Class 6 micro sd card will work, a class 10 is too fast for it skips frames and class 4 has a few issues with being recognized fully. Class 6 cards are the best way to go

Class 6 preferably the camera supports up to 4gb. I just bought an 8gb one I hope it works

It's difficult to know what type of photography you'll be doing but I would think a 8-16gb class 10 card would be sufficient

You must have a Class 4 for it to work properly. I done the same thing with a 32 mb, Class 10 and got the same result, "mass storage". I ordered a Sandisk, 16mb, Class 4 from WalMart with their site to store to make sure it was a Class 4, cost less that $15. I worked perfectly. I hope this helps, get a Class 4 mini SD card up to 32mb max.

Check your cameras booklet to see what memory it accepts. It may also say at the memory card slot what type cards it uses.

I got Samsung MB-MSAGA/US 16 GB Class 6 microSDHC. It works good to the extent of the workability of the camera. I can't say this camera is good at all, so questioning the quality of SD card at this point I think is useless.
