The Continuous Shooting Speed of the SX210 is spec'd at 0.7 frames per second .. And the video is only 720p 30fps .. There's going to be no functional difference in a class 4 card (15MB/sec) versus a class 10 card. This is not an SLR that's shooting 8fps.

Appreciate the feedback. What does 30mb per second read mean? Is that from the disk to camera? Or camera to PC? And if I do go lower what will i lose out on? i.e. what potential wil lbe untapped? Sorry...newbie here and appreciate your help.

They have the Sandisk Extreme 8 gb class 10 card on sale at Best Buy this week for $50, I picked up another one today and I got the price adjusted on the one I got last week and I bought one on Ebay a few weeks ago for $42. So now I have 3 of these memory cards now

I know you want to spend under $50, but you need to spend at least $100 and buy the Sandisk Extreme memory card that is 16 gigs, it is a class 10 card and it has a 30mb per second read and if you go anything lower then that, then you will never untap the true potential of this cameraLook on here or on Ebay and enter Sandisk Extreme SDHC 16gb and you can find some priced around $100, if you are willing to settle for an 8gb card, you can get the same card for $50 on both sites

The SanDisk Class 4 cards are tested by SanDisk to provide "up to 15MB/sec", those are read speeds and write speeds are a little lower (about 9MB/sec is what I've seen measured in most cases). The 4MB/sec is the minimum the card can provide and still be a "Class 4" card. But it doesn't really matter because even if it's only 4MB/sec, that's still more than the 3MB/sec maximum rate the camera can ingest data at. Canon's user guide for the camera states Class 4 as the minimum for doing HD video recording.Nice write up on what SD Classes mean here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital The SanDisk Class 4 cards are tested by SanDisk to provide "up to 15MB/sec", those are read speeds and write speeds are a little lower (about 9MB/sec is what I've seen measured in most cases).

It depends on what you are looking for. This is an excellent camera, I would recommend the entry level memory until you know what you need after using the device for a while.

RAW really gobbles up memory space. If you plan to do a lot of RAW shooting I'd go with a minimum 16GB card with a Class 10 rating and a write speed of at least 30MB/sec. This should deliver satisfactory performance. This camera makes excellent fine jpegs. My RAW images were not significantly better to justify use of RAW except in very special circumstances. I believe a 16GB card will hold 2200 fine jpegs.

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.

http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=E1FJFPS4500 I got mine from here, and you can get 10 dollars off if you share their link (it shows up on their site on the right side) with 3 people. They will send the code to your email. The memory card that came with mine is this one. I was thinking it would be an off brand cheap thing, but it wasn't. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-4GB-ExtremeIII-SDHC-Card/dp/B000OFWJO6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1349582003&sr=1-1&keywords=sandisk+extreme++4gb My camera came with a strap to hang on your neck, lens cap, usb/av cable,cd with instructions,(you can also find that on the internet, to read through till it arrives) and batteries.. they have other bundles with a 16 gb card, and a tripod too. scroll down on this page. http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=fjfps4500 Don't listen to the bad reviews. I think they didn't read the instructions, or just don't know what they are doing. This is a great camera. Nothing feels cheap about it. and you feel good using it. There are a lot of settings, and so many things to do. I hope I helped

I can assure you that 16 gb is a lot. Recording time up to 12hrs +. I got the micro sd 16gb for cameras nd I have a lot of recording time. Simply put, you don't have to buy another one for a long time. Make sure you get the right sd card for cameras !!!!!!!

I decided I did not want to worry about space so I put a PNY 128 GB Elite in ours. It was a little pricey at $63 but it is very fast. P.S. Love this camera.

I'm sorry I am not positive on this, but I recall reading that a 4gb is the smallest amount of memory. But I do know that I love this camera! My 3 yr old got ahold of it, opened the lense and hucked it into the road! I was hocked that it still worked, just a couple scratches. My last camera, a Casio, crapped out on me a few days before the warentee was up and didn't honor the warentee. Did I mention I love this camera though?

The camera comes with 15MB of built-in memory but that is not much. See more information here: (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=compare.jsp&A;=details&Q;=&sku;=910589&is;=REG) It is a great camera!

I have a 16GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Card in it. It will record just over three hours of video at the 720p 60 Frames Per Second Setting (3H 3M 30Seconds to be exact). You can get One Hour of non-stop recording on a single battery before it runs out of power. Buy two spare aftermarket batteries here on Amazon for about 8 bucks each, and you'll be able to record for a hour, then swap the battery out to record for hour two, and the same for hour three. When figuring out how much memory is used for recording, the 720p@60 Frames Per Second will use exactly the same amount of memory that 1080p does at 30 Frames Per Second. So recording at HD levels uses about 5.4 Gigabytes per hour. I recommend the Transcend SDHC "Class 10" 16 Gigabyte card, which is currently only Fourteen Dollars on Amazon. You MUST get at least a "CLASS 10" memory card, as you need it's fast recording speed to record HD Video. The comments below about the camera stopping after a few minutes is because they used memory that was too slow, which will cause the camera to stop after a few minutes because it can't write to the memory fast enough. With a Class 10 card, this is a non-issue. This is well documented all over the internet btw, so feel free to confirm that with a google search. :-) The Spare Batteries are $7-8 each.

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 have had this marvelous little camera for about 2 years, and I am not tired of saying this camera is a treasure. I use Transcend 16GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card: it lasts a long time, for a year I have not had to buy a new card. Every weekend I take beautiful pictures with bright colors with my camera and record great videos to post them on YouTube. I'm not sure the memory card you mentioned is right for this camera, that R40 part sounds unfamiliar, but you can buy a regular Transcend, or any other brand 32GB SDHC class 10 memory card for your camera and you'll be on the safe side. It's inexpensive and lasts a loooong time :)

I've been reading so many reviews and can't remember where I saw the recommendation to use a '32 GB Card' for best or extended video usage. Anybody know what's best? Thanx!

Leona, did you buy this card? I've had problems finding a sony memory stick pro duo for my cybershot 7.2MP camera. thx

haven't looked into that yet but i will be taking the camera to a friend of mine that works at a local ritz camera shop. i am hoping he will be knowlege able enought to figure out which memory card can be used.failing that i would think going to the cameras official website "should" provide the info or maybe a link to cantact them and ask questions.i know pc magazine also has a help section.. they might know

I wondered, why would you purchase an additional 4gb of memory when the camera has 15gb built in? Thanks!
