Can anyone recommend a 8 GB SDHC card for SD 780 IS? I am not sure whether to a get a scandisk or some other 8 GB SDHC card. Can someone please recommend a 8 GB SDHC card for SD 780 IS?

I had the same question so I spoke with a Canon rep today. He recommended SanDisk but noted that the sd780is only writes up to 18-19 MB/sec. So it's essentially a waste of money to purchase a card that writes any faster than 20 MB/sec. Check this one out: Sandisk 8GB EXTREME SDHC SD Card Class 6 (SDSDX3-8192 Bulk Package) However, faster cards are likely to write and read faster through a card reader or on your computer.

Class 4 is good enough. I use a class 4, 8G sandisk SD. The result is very satisfied.

i don't understand the20 mb/sec. http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc says class 2, 4, 6 only do 2, 4, and 6 mb/sec. the link to the sandisk card shows class 6 but does say 20mb

It is rather confusing. On the link I provided, scroll down to the "Technical Details" part of the page. It reads "Minimum 20MB/ sec sequential read/write speeds." Best of luck!

I'm getting a 16 GB sandisk extreme 3 sdhc card very soon. Like by this weekend and I will try it out.

Hi Ronald, just a heads up, my order did come with an 8gb card. I ended up buying a 32gb card on top of that.

I tried a 64gb sandisk extreme on it and it created lots of 'dead' files, so I used an old 32gb laying around. no probs with 32. I loved the video quality so gave to my husband for his minivan, and got myself a DOD TECH LS460W (via Amazon) no probs using the 64gb card. I think with 460w you can even use the 128. time is atomic, and it has gps, and speed data.

I agree with Daniel's response completely. 32GB SDHC cards are fairly cheap these days.

I bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s 10 SDHC1 8GB memory card to use with it, but the regular one like you listed is the other type that I use. Either works well, although I like the higher end one for quality. This camera is more expensive, but very excellent.

I'm having the same problem using a Sandisk 64GB, 30MB/s SDHC card. Packaging says it can handle "up to 64GB SDHC card". Yeah? Which one? Guess we'll have to run it by the manufacturer...good luck.

I have SDHC, 4&8GB cards in them. I don't know what the difference is between the SDHC or the plain SD card is, that just happens to be what I ordered. The cards are so easy to get to that I just open it up, shut the cam off, take out one card and put another one in, turn the cam back on, shut the door and I'm done, about 30 seconds. Hope this helps you, take care, Ed.

Is anyone aware how long a video can be recorded on a 2GB SD card vs. a 4GB card? I'm not sure which frame rate video options the SD800 offers but assuming there's a "good" quality rate, how many minutes can I expect to get on each? I'm debating on whether to splurge on the 4GB card.thanks!!

I am using a PNY 4 GB SDHC card. They are very inexpensive. About $5 to $10.

I have found the Patriot 16GB SDHC Class 10 at Fry's for $50 is very compatible and a great value. Avoid all SDHC Class 2 or 4 if you intend to video. Class 6 is probably ok. Some cards cause the TX7 to ask for removal and reinsertion or even re-format although it has been formated in the camera and photos processed.

Incredibly helpful advice about SD cards for the S90, J. Robertson. Yours is the best advice on the subject I've seen anywhere (and that includes dpreview forums). Consider yourself uprated.

I added the optional 8 gig card. I must have about 600 CDs on it. I use it all the time.

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.

Which one? I tried the Sandisk 4GB Secure Digital SD HC Memory Card (SDSDB-4096, BULK, No Reader), and it isn't compatible. Thanks, Kat

Interesting. I never even knew that standard SD (not SDHC) were available up to 8 gig. I thought that they maxed out at 2 gigs. good to know. Wish the thing DID read SDHC at the card slot. Still, it's a pretty nice device.
