Can anyone recommend a 8 GB SDHC card for SD 780 IS? 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: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018M256G/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk However, faster cards are likely to write and read faster through a card reader or on your computer.

The S3 was released nearly 3 years ago. The product description only mentions SD memory, not SDHC. Therefore your best bet is to use SD card with 2GB or lower.

I used the SanDisk SDHC Card, 16 GB and it works fine. It has plenty of space and the batteries die out before the card is full.

I haven't used the extra SDXC card in a while, but I have used a 32 gb SDHC and my usualy 64 gb SDXC without any problems in the past. If I remember correctly I had to go through the menu and make sure to format the cards before using them. Also, make sure you download the latest firmware from the Canon website it fixes problems with SDXC and a few other issues. I just got a 128 gb SDXC for a long trip I'll be taking and don't anticipate any problems. All my cards are Class 10 and my SDXC cards are both PNY

I have been using the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 4 8GB and it worked fine, but it takes a couple seconds for it to record the picture after I have taken it. I just bought the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 6 8GB and the camera says that it is not formatted. It does not work for some reason. Both the cards are exactly the same, except my newer card is Class 6. Does anyone know the problem or have the same one?

SD or SDHC. 8Gb cards are inexpensive and should be perfectly adequate for the files that you will produce.

Personally I put in a 4 GB SDHC card and it can hold ~500 pictures on the highest quality setting. I don't think you need much more memory than about 8 GB with this camera.

Thanks for the info. I have decided on the 720 but am now confused on the memory card debate. I have read/heard conflicting opinions on sd vs sdhc. I'm thinking an sd 2gb should do everything I need without memory card error risks. Any thoughts as to upgrading beyond?

I have one of the first builds off the line which is the 4gB model. As I want to use it as a portable recording machine I needed more space, so I picked up an 8 gB SDHC card fo $40 Can/US. I originally used a 2 gB thumb drive, but that fills up when recording hours of audio at 44 khz/16 bit. Also, I like the card as its like a mini-hardrive - it doesn't stick out of the side like a thumb drive.Not sure how much the 8gB model is compared to the 4Gb.. but with expandable memory so cheap..

Hello, thanks for your question. According to the information on the Product Page, a 2GB SD or SD-HC Memory Card is recommended. This information can be found to the right of the product picture. I hope this helps!

Any of the SD cards and it's newer variants. I have a 32gb SDHC card in it, and it works great.

I am using an 8 gb lexan memory card. It seems to working be working well. You also get about 1226 shots with this card at maximum resolution. I don't know if it will take a sd card with more memory or not. Thank you, T.P. Rose I am using an 8 gb lexan memory card. It seems to working be working well.

The Coolpix P520 supports SDHC cards up to 32GB, and SDXC cards up to 128GB. It requires class 6 or higher. I am using a SanDisk Extreme SDHC UHS-1 (class 10) 32GB cards rated at 45mb/sec read/write speeds with excellent results. This is an awesome camera.

I bought an 8GB SDHC class 6 card on newegg for about $75, and it works great. So the prices have definitely come way down...

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps!Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

I've seen benchmark tests of various SD/SDHC cards and there do see to be speed differences according to brand. SanDisk is usually at or somewhere near the top so they're a safe bet.If you have an old SD card reader then you may well need to replace it. If you have documentation for the reader and it doesn't list being able to read cards above 2GB then it might be too old to support SDHC cards.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I have a 4gb SDHC that would make or break the decision to buy this.
