LG- Page 1 in the manual says: "You can use SD memory cards, SDHC (SD High Capacity) memory cards.....etc.I have no personal experience using a SDHC card, and I too would like some input from someone who has tried the SDHC card (1GB, 2GB etc.)I would like to upgrade also and would like some feedback from those who have.

I had the same question at the same time! Just found the answer here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=18183#SupportDetailAct and search for "largest" - it is the first answer in the list that comes up. For SDHC, it says: Secure Digital High Capacity currently supports capacities up to 32 GB.

I haven't tried the A720IS (I assume that's the one you're looking at) but a quick glance at the specs and photos leads me to believe the Powershot SX100IS is easier to control, i.e. it's easier to use manual settings and control the flash. (I always had problems with compact cameras where the flash would go off when I didn't want it, and when I thought I had it turned off. With the SX100IS the flash doesn't go off unless you actually lift it up, so there is no problem with accidental flash. This suits my needs, but might not be important to you.) Both cameras have a similar sensor, both use SD cards, both use 2 AA batteries, and the size and weight are not all that different. Both have face detection and image stabilization, though it's important to consider how important these features are and how easy they are to turn on/off when you need them. Both cameras have a 2.5" screen. The biggest difference I can see, aside from the layout of the controls, is the zoom, and this is a pretty big deal to many people. The A270IS has a 6x zoom, which is already twice the zoom of an average compact camera, but the SX100IS has a 10x zoom which really makes a difference. My dad uses this camera and on a recent family trip he was getting similar shots using the 10x zoom as I was getting on my DSLR with a 300mm lens! So you get a lot more freedom from the longer zoom, and it is ideal for shooting wildlife. I believe the only thing the A720IS can do that the SX100IS cannot is use lens adapters. If this is a concern for you, then you'll want to stick with the A720IS. Otherwise, I highly recommend the SX100IS, but try to test both cameras at your local store even if you plan on purchasing them from Amazon (which I also recommend).

I am afraid that you camera only support cards up to 1 GB follow this link http://resources.kodak.com/support/shtml/en/manuals/urg00512/urg00512c7s2.shtml

You can use any card labeled "SD", up to 2 GB. For SD cards over 2 GB, only cards labeled "SDHC" (SD High Capacity) will work with this camera. I personally use a cheap Kingston 2 GB SD card. It works just as well as SanDisk, and I haven't had any problems with it. Here's a link to it on Amazon. Kingston 2 GB SD Flash Memory Card SD/2GB

Hi Gregory,I am not an authority on this but the Canon website does say that your camera supports CF Card Type I and II - so you are good there. This is a high speed card and you will notice the difference when you take quick consecutive shots. I am not a 100% certain if it can access all the 8Gb of space in the card (I am not sure if the OS in the camera is 32bit or 64bit)I have an old Canon 20D and tried it in there and I was good.You may want to post a quick question in the Canon at: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/form_display/sup_by_emailGood luck!

Guy - Thank you for your response. Is it possible that it was the size (64G) as opposed to it being an SDHC? I read that it will only support up to 32G. Also I believe it needs to be formatted to FAT, but I could be wrong. It seems somewhat pointless if it only works with SD cards without the High Capacity as almost all of them are SDHC these days.

We have one. If a previously working card is rejected the camera may have an electronic failure or the card itself may have failed. Try formatting it in a laptop/desktop with an appropriate card slot. Also, we found that the camera can handle up to 2GB SD cards but not higher. kodak.com/go/z740accessories says "Z610, Z650, Z700, Z710, Z730, Z740, Z760, Z7590: SD memory cards up to 2 GB." We got a 5-pack from Overstock.com. Stores now concentrate on the (much) larger ones for newer devices.

JC - thank you so much for the wonderful suggestion about using a separate SD card reader! i, too was about to purchase the Canon A1000 IS and was turned off by the negative reviews of the software.i have a SansDisk card reader (that accepts SDHC) and plan to go this route. Thanks again!VK

The manual does not give a definite answer to the question of 'How big can Memory Cards be in Capacity?' It says "The simple answer is that our frames will accept most High-Capacity Memory cards like, for example 16 GB SDHC Card. However, bear in mind that if there are thousands of files on your card and they are in different folders or formats ... this will probably slow the frame's processor... should be able to view up to 10,000 photos per memory device... Hope that helps.

Not too sure. It is SDXC meaning it can support higher capacities than regular SDHC. I am running an SDHC sandisk 32GB extreme. SDXC should go up to 64GB and more wiki has the limit on SDXC at 2000GB.

Hi Bruno, I a not sure about the largest SDHC card. I am using a 32gb card and it list an insane amount of picture storage available. My current picture availability shown in my camera is (ready for this) 7,771. You would have to be at a very isolated location and be there for quite a long time to run out of storage space. Hope this helps.

Hi Tami. The camera specs on Amazon say the camera supports SDHC, "Storage Media: SD/SDHC Memory Card". This means the camera will support SDHC cards over 2g capacity. SDHC is 4-32g. I like the Transcend SDHC cards, they are fast and reasonably priced. They are also available from Amazon directly, and I recommend that you purchase that way. The Transcend USB reader/card combo is great value. The reader is fast. 16g is probably overkill for photos only. For video though, I would go for 16g. With Transcend it does not cost much more. Hope this helps! Your daughter will love you!

I'm not sure if your camera could handle 32gb memory cards. If you already tried another 32gb card in your camera and it worked, I wouldn't see any reason for it to not work. I have a 5D mark I that works with a 32gb card but when I format the card with the camera, it says that I only have 8gb of available space on the card... Even if it is a 32gb card. You should check before buying a card to prevent yourself from spending money... for nothing.

I am surprised that Some users report capacity-related issues. I purchased a Transcend SDHC Class 10 32G card that I had to format using the camera build-in menu for a correct initialization. It has been working fine since, save a reformatting from time to time when it is not recognized anymore. I would advise to avoid low capacity cards as the same disk Sectors will be Constantly written over, thus faster degrading the card.

I have had no problems with my Sandisk Class 6 SDHC card, but I bought a Toshiba 16GB Class 4 SDHC card and I get a buffer overflow message after about 20 seconds of recording at which point recording stops. Another problem is a message I get when first turning on the HF200. Something like "Data is corrupted, would you like to fix it? Yes/No". Canon's documentation says both Class 4 and Class 6 cards are supported for HD recording. Perhaps recording at the maxiumum 24Mbps 1080i data rate only works with Class 6 cards. Also note that these problems occurred after trying both full and quick card initializations on the camcorder.

Actually, there's something in the manual about a video limit (NOT card limit) of 2GB (Video recording) at a time, but I am unclear about what happens then. Does one simply start recording again or is the max 2GB size just inaccurate; at that point. In any case, I don't think I'll be doing 2GB clips; without pause anyway, so no big deal.BTW, I like a 4GB (or bigger) SDHC (extreme III and reader) because I can take a bunch of pictures and still have room for video clips. I have extra 4GB cards not yet open.
