Any class would be fine for playback of mp3's. The higher classes are more for picture/video recording, applications in smartphones, etc,etc.

Any regular SD card will work. I recommend a SD HC card because of the faster speed. I use a 4 GB card but any size will work with this camera. A micro SD card will not fit the camera without an adapter.

I have been using a Sandisk 4GB SDHC (class 2 speed), and a Sandisk 8GB SDHC Extreme III (class 6 speed) with this camera and both seem to work fine. I've noticed that some retailers claim in their "specifications" sections that this camera can only use cards up to 2GB (not SDHC), but I haven't found this to be the case. I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to get the full 4-8GB storage capacity out of my cards, but compatibility hasn't been a problem. Hope this info helps.

You need a regular SD, not micro. I got this one and it works great: SanDisk 16GB Class 4 SDHC Memory Card, Frustration-Free Packaging (SDSDB-016G-AFFP)

There is a slot for a micro sd card. I think you'll be okay using a class 10 micro card. I never pulled the card out so I don't know what class the original card is. Hope this helps

Micro SD. I purchased a SanDisc Ultra 16 GB MicroSDHC for less than $15 through Amazon when I bought the camera and it works great. Even at the highest image quality setting, the card can hold more than 1,000 photos (which is far more than you should ever keep on a memory card without backing it up to another source).

commonly available SD Card with reasonably high data transfer rate ( Class 6 and above ) will do. I have used SD cards of SanDisk & Amazon of 4GB as well as 32 GB of class 10. They both worked well.

I bought an 8GB HCSD, because I wanted to have more space. Manufacturer claims is a class 6 card, which is supposedly the fastest (or one of the faster cards). Using it, I found: 1. The RAW shooting, would take about the same time that took my 2G MicroSD with adapter, that is, if you're planning about taking bursts of pictures RAW, that won't do the trick. 2. I found the bigger size of videos is 2GB, and that appears to be limited by the filesystem of the cards it self. That's around 23 minutes in the highest quality mode.

Great tips in this thread, thanks.I can't find what memory card I can get for my new 790. Does anyone know if it will take an 8 or even a 16 gig SDHC card? And can I use a "Class 6", or is it only able to accept/benefit from a "Class 4"? Can anyone recommend a solid, inexpensive card reader for SDHC cards? Thanks for your replies.

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?

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 used a class 2 4GB microSD card before switching to a 16 GB class 6 card. No issue with both card. Haven't try with a class 10 card.

Get the fastest MicroSD card you can find, that is usually the limitation, I use a Sandisk UltraPlus 32G HC I card without any trouble. It is rated Class 10 and UHS class 1. They are reasonably priced as well.

My 32GB device has a micro sd slot with a 32GB Ultra SanDisk Micro SD card in it. Class 10. So my guess is that you can swap different micro SD cards in and out (bought separately) if you want to stream different stuff... ie one for the kids, and another for you. Not sure if the class matters, but I'll stick with the Class 10 (faster) chips to avoid any potential issues.

I'm sure you got it figured out by now, but to anyone else, I use a CLASS 10 SDHC 8GB card with no problems. Key is that it is CLASS 10. And the video length can be changed in settings.

I bought a Transcend 16gb (they do come in different sizes). Class 10 SDHC. This does a nice job for me.
