Maybe "expandable to" means it will reach that ISO through pixel binning and consequently lowered resolution, d'ya think?

In the age of digital cameras, think of ISO as film speed for cameras back in the day. The lower the ISO, the better the detail of the image because crystal grains on the film are so much finer. However, lower ISOs mean less light to produce the image. The higher the ISO, the bigger the grains on the film, which means less time is needed to capture the image. But, the bigger the grains, the grainier the image. So, ISO = image quality. The lower the number, the higher the image quality. Now, I'm no expert, obviously, but an ISO of 12,800? I guess if you wanted to take a picture of a bullet that's about to hit your camera lens, it'd be perfect. Just use a remote for your shutter!

If you mean the flash drive, I don't think there is a limit. I've used an 8gb and 16gb with no problems. I assume it will read a 32gb as well.

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$

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..

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.

imI'm not sure if the memory is expandable, I refuse to purchase anything else for this item!

I think this is kinda confusing. Mine is only 16 GB, and here it says the only capacities are 16 and 32 GB. Title is misleading, be my guess.

I think the "recommended" max is 16GB (and 8GB for certain kinds of music file formats), but I've seen posts from users who've exceeded the OEM "recommended" size with no problem. I use a 16GB card ... zero problems. However, if you're inclined to try a larger card, I'd stop at 64GB.
1765985
Yep its upgradeable to 8gb for a total of 12gb. Samsung says the max is 8gb but thats not really the case. I dont think they make 1x16gb sticks for this model.

The SD specification (v3.01), "SDXC supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification". So, maximum storage capacity for an sd HC card is 32Gb, maximum storage capacity for an sd XC card is 2Tb. When the technology is available to manufacture and sell the cards economically, the technical specifications will support it. Kind of like how 64bit memory addressing can theoretically allow for 16 Exabytes of memory; it's capable, but the tech just isn't there yet.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDXC, http://superuser.com/questions/556008/memory-limits-in-16-32-and-64-bit-systems The SD specification (v3.01), "SDXC supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification".

It's been a great unit for me. Your question is a bit unclear but here goes. I have Wide Open West as my cable provider. I have extended basic service(meaning that I have ~ 200 stations) I can record to VHS OR DVD directly from the cable as long as the channel does not have the hyphen/dot. Channels "2" through "39" can record on VHS but "59.45" only records to DVD due to restrictions built into the unit. The on-screen message actually says that "digital" channels can not be recorded to VHS, only to DVD. I take this to mean that once a channel number ceases to be a whole number it's DVD only. All of my channels are digital, including 2 through 39.. Hope this helps. It's been a great unit for me. Your question is a bit unclear but here goes. I have Wide Open West as my cable provider.

Your going to want to upgrade the memory card. I now have 4 cards that are 64 GB cards. This 32 card just doesn't cut it.

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

From the Philips web site:Assuming you have the latest firmware (available on the Philips site), the Max capacity for different cards is:Internal: 16MB, 14 availableSD or mini SD: 4GBCF: 8GBMMC/RS-MMC: 1GBMS/MS Pro/Duo/Duo Pro: 2GB

Everyone but storage vendors use the value of 1024 to determine next step up in storage sizes. So 1024 bytes (B) = 1 kilobyte (KB). 1024 KB = 1 megabyte (MB). 1024 MB = 1 gigabyte (GB). And so on. Storage vendors have "cheated" and used the value of 1000 in determining the next size up. So to them 1000 MB = 1GB when that really isn't true. This has been a long accepted and awful practice, to the point where it is almost impossible to get them to change. So if we deconstruct 64GB using storage vendor math then it = 64,000MB = 64,000,000KB = 64,000,000,000B. Now when we try to figure out what our real space is, we take 64,000,000,000B / 1024 = 62,500,000KB / 1024 = 61,035MB / 1024 = 59.6GB raw space. You actually have ~1GB less than that of "useable" space because of the file system being placed on it and the additional overhead/space that file system needs. I hope that helps explain why whenever you stick in a storage devices you will always have less than the advertised free space.

"Pawel says: just format and u get empty card "I did format (on my PC) and I got 7.31 and 7.46 GB on those cards as I said in original post. By "empty" do you mean 8GB? That's what I was wondering..
