Will a 16GB SDHC memory card work with this camera? Does anyone know if a 16 GB card will work with this camera or, if it does, is it overkill?

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 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

Hello. Sorry I can not be of more help as I purchased this Camera for one o my wife's Christmas Gifts. But I am going to purchase a 16 GB storage card for the unit. She should be able to take some nice video and well as still photo with this storage along with what is already in the Nikon. The specifications and Camera look excellent and reviews are very good. Enjoy and Merry Christmas.

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 !!!!!!!

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.

I am about convinced on the Nikon s8100, looks like everything I need. My question is, will the Sandisk 16 gig card work in it?

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.

Thanks for the info. I have decided on the 720 but am now confused on the memory card debate. I have read/heard conflicting opinions on sd vs sdhc. I'm thinking an sd 2gb should do everything I need without memory card error risks. Any thoughts as to upgrading beyond?

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!

It will take a 16gb for sure, I have one in mine. The manuals says it will take a 32gb micro sdhc card

It uses SD cards. They're available up to 2gb, which is the largest size this camera can use. Be careful not to get SDHC (high capacity) cards, as they will NOT work, even in the 2gb size. I've used 512mb and 2gb SD cards, both PNY brand, with success. They aren't fancy high speed cards, but I don't notice any objectionable delay in writing to the card.

Hi K. Watts, Yes, it will work. This camera supports SDHC memory cards that go up to 4gb. So the Sandisk card you are asking about will work since it is 4gb. Thanks for your interest!

I have this camera (canon A620) and a kingston 1/2 gb SD card. They work pretty good together, no problem at all. I do not think you would have problem with kingston 1 gb, although (I want to be clear) is not the one I have.

My SD card never had a problem. Check if you are using a card of higher capacity that may not be compatible. I think I am using 32 GB or 64 GB. Both should be fine. But try using 32 if 64 does not work. My only problem is battery. If the camera is not connected to 12V, it goes off in 1 or 2 minutes. Otherwise it is really nice. One more problem is that it makes large files.

I used up to an 8GB SDHC card in mine ALL the time and that will hold thousands and thousands of photos. I had THE best luck with this camera!! I bought like 3 in a row and since I am a photo taking addict LOL I used a lot of cards and kept getting ones with bigger memories which is how I KNOW it will hold 8 GB. Good luck and may God bless!

This camera works fine with my new Mac (OS X) - it just recognizes the camera like any other.Also worth noting, I stuck in a 2GB SD card, and it's working fine so far - although the manual says not to use any larger than 1GB. Not sure what will happen when/if I store more than 1GB of photos on it, but I can keep that from happening.Changing the date on the camera is my priority now (searching for a way to do this lead me to this discussion). Any pointers?

I have the Canon SD1100 and would like to take nice videos of my four-month-old son. I am in search of a decent memory card. They all look/sound alike to me. The 16GB card/reader combo sounds like something in which I might be interested. But I can't find the exact one to which you are referring. Can someone post a link to it? Or maybe recommend other memory cards that would be good for videos on my camera?
