I just bought this camera with a PQI 2 GB SD card and do not have any problems with it. In fact, trying to format the card on my PC only gave me 1 GB of available space so i formated it on the SD600 and got the proper 1.86 GB available memory. For what it's worth, I can get 711 pictures on best (superfine) quality with this card.

I have the same question.I ordered a 2 GB card and don't know if it acutally will work with this camera.

Get a high speed card definitely! You will see the huge difference when you shoot a video and the high speed card writes and reads much faster when processing photos.

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?

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.

I have a high speed hd card. But if you dont mind lower quality videos you can use any sd card. Mine was under 20 I believe and holds a ridiculous amount of pictures.

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.

I've used cards of 45Mb/s up to 60Mb/s with this camera and on the FH100 I was using 15Mb/s and no problems with either camera. On the Premium Auto Pro mode for photos there is much processing going on and the screen brings a processing message sometimes on difficult shots with low lighting. The fantastic picture results are worth it compared with the normal mode. High speed Video recording hasn't been a problem. I'd keep to above 45Mb/s to leave the full versatility of this camera available. The manual is vague in suggesting values except suggesting to use Ultra high Speed SD cards of which I have used. I currently use the Sandisk Extreme 45Mb/s and Toshiba Exceria R95 w60Mb/s which both work well.

What I know is that it is really a SanDisk 16GB SD card - it works great. SanDisk are the best SD's I have found and I have tried others. As far as the class 2 sdhc, it really was not a consideration of mine when I purchased it.

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.

I use a 4-gig card with this camera and I shoot at the maximum quality jpeg. If memory serves me right, I can usually get 700 - 850 pictures on a full card, though I rarely do so for exactly the reasons I mentioned earlier. Always back up your pictures! Twice, if you can help it!

I would check the actual Nikon website for any specifics, but we didn't see anything that jumped out at us when we purchased this camera. We went with a "normal" SDHD card, and did the 32GB since it was for our daughter and she tends to snap away. Brand wise, we did Lexar (Platinum) since that's what we've been using in our DSLR for a couple years without any complaints or issues...

Greetings Ms. Gabrielle Z. In looking at the web site of fujifilmusa [I found the brochure and booklet for the S1500 I presume Finepix. It states that the camera takes sd card 2gb/ and sdhc cards of 4gb and 8gb. It has a graph of dimensions of j peg 3648 fine/ j peg normal/ etc. I would now use the 8gb. If you can you can buy up any 2 gb you find. Prices are going up on them. Maybe use the class 4 sd & or check with fuji support for additional directives. Possible damaged card. check on it, wipe clean the metalic pieces with clean soft cotton shirt gentlly fog it n wipe. Good Luck. Steve

I don't know if any SD card is so much better than another, but any name brand SD HC card works. I happen to like SanDisk myself. I use an 8gb currently but I know up to 64gb are available. To give you an idea of time, at 1080P (HD) video setting, I use approx 100mb per minute of filming, so 1gb is ~ten minutes: 8gb card should get about 70+ minutes (as an 8 gb card formatted is around 7.3gb usable)

I bought a very inexpensive 2GB SD card of the Crucial brand. These are almost always on sale somewhere on the Web. It's not rated at a super high speed (40x), but it seems to work fast enough in my A590IS. I contacted Canon Tech support re. what would be the optimum speed chip to get for the 590 and they didn't seem to know. Duuuh..., so I ended up with the Crucial. I don't use the highest res setting, as the lens isn't really up to it, so there's room for plenty O' pix on the 2 Gigger. .bh.

A 2gb sd card can hold a lot of pictures, the number of which will depend on the settings on the camera and the megapixels that your camera shoots with.Lets say you have a 8 megapixel camera. The average might be around 5 mb per photo if you haven't changed the factory settings. That would put you in the range of 380 to 410 pictures.

I have only used the card for about 800 photos with my Nikon camera, but I have not had any problem thus far. (I shoot raw, so file sizes are not small.)Also, I have shot some bursts... 3-6 photos/ second with no problem.

I have been using my new card for a little over a month and so far no problems. I bought it to replace a SanDisk card that was full. Have another camera I have used for about 10 years and always use Sandisk cards with no problems.

You can definitely use a 2 GB card with this. I have the S2 IS and I even called Canon before buying my 2 GB card. You should have absolutely no problems!
