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!

The Transcend 16g SDHC + reader is here, Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card with Card Reader TS16GSDHC6-S5WMake sure you purchase from Amazon directly. TheMemStore also say they sell this combo, but ship a Digital Matrex reader instead of Transcend and it has poor performance. Good luck!

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?

I agree with L.F. Hunter - I have used a Transcend 8GB and 16GB Card with my Canon 1100 and they work great and are fast (Class 6 speed). I think, but may be wrong, that the limit with this camera is a 32GB SDHC card. I use my camera for a lot of video and the 16 GB card allows up to 127 minutes of video or up to 4,496 Superfine, 8MP photos.

Thanks for the advice. The 16GB card/reader combo deal is what prompted my question! I'm hoping with this card, she can take a lot of photos and some decent video of my soon to be year old grandson. Thanks again for helping a grandma out!

I am having a problem with 32GB class 10 card, where it just stops recording. Also I was only getting a few days of use. Having to clear files every other day is not acceptable. So I switched to 16GB class 4 card and it seems to have worked. I have just started using it, but it is recording 6 days and counting... so I hope that fixed it. If not I am selling this one. I do enjoy having a camera in the car. This one does a good job except for this possible issue. However If I upgrade I will get one with front and rear camera.... you can get hit from the rear just as easy from the rear. However this was a low cost effective device worth trying.

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.

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 ).

I use a Sony 32GB SDHC Class 10 Memory Card (purchased here on Amazon) and it works perfectly. You need a SD card for this camera.

I find it amazing that you are able to use a 32GB much less a 64GB. I'm using a Kingston Digital 16 GB Class 4 microSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter (SDC4/16GBET) that was sold a a bundle and have no problems with the card. The dash cam is ummmm. Hmmmm. You get what you pay for. Don't upgrade the card. Upgrade the camera and card or it won't be worth your money. Put the videos on your PC and format the card FAT32 after.

I looked in my camera but someone switched sd cards. I believe I had the fast sdhc cards 64 GB. Just to let you know, this camera is amazing... I have the battery charging right to use tomorrow. I bought this camera for a surfing trip in Nicaragua. I was in the water taking picture and set it at its highest resolution and It is GREAT. I have a Lumix camera and this beats it. Plus I can take this one in the water. Hope it helps

I am using an 8 gb lexan memory card. It seems to working be working well. You also get about 1226 shots with this card at maximum resolution. I don't know if it will take a sd card with more memory or not. Thank you, T.P. Rose I am using an 8 gb lexan memory card. It seems to working be working well.

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.

I have a 16gb in mine and it works great. I do have it sorted and saved in different folders. That might help that issue, though I've never heard if your particular issue before. By the way, I have seen questions answered in a few different areas, though same product, that someone is using this little guy with a 32gb card, and someone else using a 64gb card. I hope this helps, and good luck to you!

Are you sure they said the max size was 8 GB? Some people talk about using a 16 GB card on here. Maybe they meant 8 GB was the largest SDHC card available when the camcorder came out?

I've used 32gb cards without issue. I did have an issue with a 64gb card though, but I am not sure if it was the card or the camera.

I bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s 10 SDHC1 8GB memory card to use with it, but the regular one like you listed is the other type that I use. Either works well, although I like the higher end one for quality. This camera is more expensive, but very excellent.

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!

Hi, you can use any other brand of memory card, as long as it will not exceed to 64GB. (max memory card that has been tested to work on this camera is up to 64 GB). -Ely

I purchased my camera about a month ago (Aug. 2012) and it still says 16GB max. I actually had the same question.....to be on the safe side I just put a 16 in but would have preferred a 32GB. db
