I am very confused as to what card to purchase for this camera. SD SDHC or SDXC . Then there is 4 or 10 performance and are they all flash cards??

According to the camera's manual (page 17) you can use any of these; however, when using a card other than the SD, you have to check your pc or other device when you go about to transfer/see what you've recorded as not all are compatible. The safe route would be the SD card. By the way, you don't have to use a card and just record to the camera's memory. Hope this helps. I recently purchased this camera and I'm using a SD card with no problems so far.

When I bought my camera I bought a Transcend 32 Gb class 10 sdhc flash memory,thru Amazon for $24.00. Lots of storage and I love it. You need the 10 rating. I don't think I will ever have to buy another one. Hope this helps

I had those same questions. What I ended up doing -- and would recommend -- is taking the information into a store like Best Buy or Circuit City and asking the people who work with it day after day and are much more knowlegeable than I. They gave me enough simply put information that I was able to make the best choice for my needs.

The camera is capable of using all 3 types of cards. SDHC and SDXC give you the largest capacities. SD cards max out at 4 gigs. SDHC max out at 32 gigs and SDXC can go up to 2 Terabytes but typical cards are 64 to 128 gigs and they are $$$$. I bought a 16 gig SDHC class 10 for my camera. Each image at full resolution is about 5 to 7 MB in size. A 4 minute movie in full HD is about 140 MB in size. Class 10 is the fastest class and can read/write fast enough to keep up with HD video recording without lag. they are all flash memory type cards.

Well, what you need is a memory card for you to have more storage capacity on your camera for saving more pictures. I recommend you to purchase a memory card of 8 or 10 GB. They have too much space for you to save a huge amount of pictures. They all are not flash cards, but flash cards are for gaming purposes. So you don't worry about that. Mario Alfaro.

I bought an SDHC card for the camera with 16 Gb. You can purchase as much storage as you want, but I felt this was all I would need because I transfer photos and video off the camera to my computer and then delete what I have stored on the camera so I am ready for the next event.

I use 4GB Sandisk Extreme III SDHC cards in mine, along with a SanDisk reader for quickly transferring the image files to our computers. The 4GB size are often on sale for less than $20 after rebates. They work fine for video and still photos with this camera and the fancier Lumix models.

The camera does not come with a memory card. The internal memory will handle a certain number of pictures, but not sure of the number. We purchased a SanDisk Extreme Plus 64GB SDXC UHS-1 Flash Memory Card Speed Up To 80MB/s which, depending on the setting, can hold close to 10,000 pictures.

We bought an 8gb SDHC to go with this camera and it works great. Don't know if a bigger one would work any different or not. Hope this helps.

Hi Les and other fellow FZ-28/35 fans. I am a happy owner of an FZ35 which I bought last October, and its been around the world. Love the camera! Bought another one last week (B&H;) for a family member and it came with an 8GB Transcend. A perfectly fine SD card, but here's my question: will a SanDisk Extreme III Class 10 card (capable of 30MB/s read/write speeds) actually work any faster on the FZ35 than a Class 6 card? Specifically, will it write any faster (to the FZ35 specifically) and thus reduce shutter lag time? Any other cards that will work faster/fastest?Thanks!

Always assume a camera does NOT come with a memory card unless it specifically states that it does. Most cameras (from all manufacturers) have very little built-in memory; perhaps enough for a couple photos just to test out the camera. Memory cards are relatively inexpensive. For cameras that support both SD and SDHC it's probably best to stick with SDHC Class 6 (Class 4 may be OK if on a tight budget, but avoid Class 2). If they support only SD, you want one of the faster SD cards usually rated 50x or 133x or labeled with words like as "ultra" or "elite" or "extreme". Although many cameras aren't even fast enough to fully utilize that speed you don't want the memory card to be the bottleneck, so don't just get the cheapest/slowest one you can find since even the moderately fast ones are pretty low-cost. Also note, for this camera specifically, it says: "Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included)" So any SDHC Class 4 or higher card should probably be fine. Even some of the cheaper brands like Transcend seem to work OK in most of my cameras/devices, although the bigger name brands like Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston, or the HP-branded ones might be slightly better quality in some cases. I think 2GB is plenty for most point and shoot cameras (and many people get by with even smaller ones) but going larger means you can store more photos before needing to transfer them to a computer. Keep in mind that if you have only one card and it gets lost or damaged or stolen before you transfer them to a computer you could lose all your photos. That's why I usually go with the smaller cards and use more than one card if I need to take a ton of photos, or go with an Eye-Fi card that can transfer the photos to a computer or the web wirelessly if you're near a usable Wi-Fi network and leave the camera turned on long enough for them to upload. Those are a little pricey, but available from Amazon, or the eye.fi site, or from Google with an online storage plan ( http://www.eye.fi/google ).

Which memory card would work best all around in the canon sx260, a sandisk card rated 6 or a faster rated 10? Some have suggest either would do fine for still pictures while others suggested that a 10 rated card would be better for HD video. But is there a big difference in performance in this camera between the two?

I bought from amazon..SanDisk 8 GB Class 4 SD Flash Memory Card SDSDB-008G-AFFP by SanDisk around $ 7.50 holds a HUGE amount of photography. you can also buy them at walmart target, radio shack,, all over the place, maybe even walgreens. don't pay a lot of money. I got 8 gb because I was giving it as a gift, and I didn't know if she would want to do a lot of videos.. 4 gb is good too

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

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at Lexar Professional 400x 16GB SDHC UHS-I Flash Memory Card LSD16GCTBNA400 . I am happy to say the choice was on the money as this card is amazingly fast, and greatly improves the use and experience with this camera. Hopefully this helpful, good luck!

Can you confirm that the M30 accepts SDXC cards? I've looked online including Canon's site and they're not showing that card in the specs. Thanks.

I couldn't find the manual on CanonUSA.com so I will have to reply on memory... I believe the camera should be fine with any SDHC card (but not the SDXC cards). Since the camera doesn't have video, however, there's no need for a 32GB card or an extremely fast one. Many photographers like smaller cards - 4GB or 8GB - so that if a card should be lost or fail, you will lose less photos. As far as performance goes, the XS has a more limited write speed so a class 10 card may be overkill (though it could download faster to your PC from a card reader). In my experience, Sandisk cards have performed the best and been most reliable but be sure to buy them from a reputable dealer as there have been numerous reports of poorly performing counterfeits being sold on certain bidding sites.

For best performance use any brand Class 10 SDHC Micro SD card up to 32GB. You can also use larger SDXC cards but you'll need to format as FAT32 on a PC first to use it in this device.

I would recommend a sd hc card that says for video. I bought one cheap from tiger direct and it works great. It is for my son's camera. Good camera for starters

This camera accepts SD SDHC & SDXC cards. Currently I'm using a Sony 64gb micro SDXC card in a standard SD card adapter. Any card listed as SDXC up to 256gb card will work in this camera. Make sure you buy quality memory cards with good reviews and a fast read write ability. This camera does 1080 60p and will need fast memory.

I didn't know myself, so I looked it up on PCMag.com. Here is my edited version, for a (fairly) short answer: SD cards are also available in various speeds. If you're using a point-and-shoot camera... speed class won't matter much. If you're shooting high-resolution ... photos ...you need a quick card to take more than two or three shots at a time. SD cards are generally described by their Speed Class, ranging from Class 2 (slowest) to Class 10 (fastest). ...Class 2 is suitable for standard-definition video recording, while Class 4 and Class 6 can record high-definition video. Class 10 is the card for HD video ... According to Sandisk...Class 4 cards offer read/write speeds of 15 MBps, Class 6 cards ...20MBps, and Class 10 cards ...30MBps. Kingston...describes its Class 4 (at) 4MBps..., Class 6 at 15MBps, and Class 10 at 40MBps... ...Since even smartphones can record HD video these days, Class 2 cards aren't the best choice. They're simply too slow to record HD video... For their complete description, go here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388408,00.asp Hope this helps! Mark

In case anyone reads this.... I am using this camera with a 64gb Compact Flash card with no problems. (Transcend) I have not tried with a 64gb SDHC card. However, I am using a 32gb SDHC card in at the same time with no problems.
