Why does Amazon advertise this camera can use SDHC memory cards? It can only use 2GB or 4GB SD cards? This is very misleading.

not true, I've used mine with 8gb and 16gb cards, you just have to run a format on the card first, which is very easy if you scroll through the menu.

I am probably too late but a lot of these cameras were sold with an 8 GIG SDHC card (so they could boost sales). It was included as a bonus, it was also inside the box, not as a separate package. Since the card was free, your task is to find the pkgs that have them :)

Hi, Patricia. That camera, being older technology, can only handle a 1G SD card, maximum. I went through the same thing when I first got mine. You can get a 1G card online, but they are hard to find in stores. That said, it is a fairly nice camera, and I use mine often. Best of luck. Bruce

I use a 16 GB SDHC card and it has worked perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about this camera, very happy with it!

I looked in my camera but someone switched sd cards. I believe I had the fast sdhc cards 64 GB. Just to let you know, this camera is amazing... I have the battery charging right to use tomorrow. I bought this camera for a surfing trip in Nicaragua. I was in the water taking picture and set it at its highest resolution and It is GREAT. I have a Lumix camera and this beats it. Plus I can take this one in the water. Hope it helps

But sometimes a camera firmware update can provide SDHC capability, assuming the hardware isn't limited. I have a Fuji f40fd and they provided a firmware upgrade which gave SDHC capability

Are you sure they said the max size was 8 GB? Some people talk about using a 16 GB card on here. Maybe they meant 8 GB was the largest SDHC card available when the camcorder came out?

Well anything over a certain amount, usually 4GB is considered SDHC and may not work with it. Since there are no replies I figured I'd post this tidbit.

The camera is capable of using all 3 types of cards. SDHC and SDXC give you the largest capacities. SD cards max out at 4 gigs. SDHC max out at 32 gigs and SDXC can go up to 2 Terabytes but typical cards are 64 to 128 gigs and they are $$$$. I bought a 16 gig SDHC class 10 for my camera. Each image at full resolution is about 5 to 7 MB in size. A 4 minute movie in full HD is about 140 MB in size. Class 10 is the fastest class and can read/write fast enough to keep up with HD video recording without lag. they are all flash memory type cards.

You are wasting your money... Your camera can do video to the best of its own ability with just the Sandisk Ultra SDHC cards. That's what I use.

Camcorder uses a micro SD. Box says 32gb but manual says 32gb or even bigger SDHC. but have not tried a 64gb yet.

No, but Amazon sells a memory card with 8GB that is tiny and just fits this camera. When I entered the camera into my "cart", Amazon posted a note saying--"people who bought this---also bought this... and there was the 8GB---so I purchased them together. Good question.--Lou

Why does a memory card NOT come with the camera?? I just purchased one from Amazon to give as a gift, and upon opening and inspecting it, there is NO card. Also, the box was not sealed and had some worn edges... I'm thinking Amazon has pulled a fast one and sent me a returned item that is missing components.

Not sure but I've used 2gb sd cards, I like these cameras because they are simple and do a great job, I used several of them

I bought this camera on 12/22/2006. I installed a SanDisk 2.0 SD standard card. It seems to be working great. You can buy this card from Amazon.com for $40.00 including shipping. There is no tax. Also you can buy it from COMPUSA fir 39.99 plus tax. I am curious is a 4GB card would work also.

I have a JVC and use SDHC 32GB cards the camera has two slots. This gives me lots of time even shooting RAW and can be down loaded from the Camera or removing and using a PC Slot. from experiance use the Camera to Reformat after you down load so you can ensure full use of the memory card.

This camera takes SDHC cards. As far as I know, once you have a camera that recognizes SDHC, the sky's the limit. For older cameras that DO NOY accept SDHC cards (those cards above 2GB), then 2GB is the limit. The reason is the file format on the cards. Up to 2GB used FAT16; above 2GB use FAT32. A few cameras that take CF cards (not SD), even if they are older, can use part of, or all o,f the larger sized CF cards, but there's no guarantee that there won't be an occasional problem with recording of images.
