Memory card for Pentax K-x? Is class 6 ok?
1425718
I read some comments on dpreview.com of a guy who tested the Pentax k-7 with two different class 4 SDHC cards and one worked well (SanDisk Ultra II) while the other didn't (PNY). You can see the site below for more details. I would think a class 6 would work fine. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=33814313

This is what I use in it, nothing higher is necessary. Transcend 16 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6E

I use two Sandisk SDHC class 10 cards, a 32 GB and a 16 GB. I can easily shoot a short film (30 min or less) at 1080p with no need to clear either card.

From past experience with point and shoot I have had good results using Class 4 cards. This is Class 10, it will give you way far more better quality than what you are looking for.

E-Prance recommends, "use Class 4 Toshiba 8GB, Class 6 KMAX 8GB、16GB、32GB memory card", although I use " 2x Sandisk 16GB 16G Micro SDHC Class 4 TF Memory Card" and they work flawlessly.

I have the same camera, but did not purchase that card. I purchased 8GB Sandisk MicroSDHC Memory Card and it has been working well. My memory card is very small and needs an adapter with it to put it into the kiosk.

not sure I understand ? Out of the box new purchase probaly won't have an SD card. Cards have become prolific and cheap, so its never been better for the consumer. An opinion, if I may offer one, is to buy name brand cards and look for the highest rated burst/memory index. My K5 and K5 II work flawlessly with SD 10 rated specs. Depending on your photographic use, a fast card will always be ready to capture a shot. There is nothing worse than discovering a missed opportunity. As for capacity, its a personal choice. I use 16 Gig cards because I have option open to me if a situation presents itself. I can shoot full RAW, or quickly dial down so as not to create huge files which will fill up a hard drive incredibly fast. My brother , recently retired as the President of Pentax, suggest using 8 gig cards, since cards do crash for any number of reasons. Better to have fewer lost images on an 8 than everything lost on a 16. AND speaking of memory, it is highly recommended that you get a 1T ( one terabyte ) portable USB external drive.

I bought a 16GB Micro SDHC Memory card from Sandisk class 4, which is fine for me.

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 16GB class 10 card in my XP200, but not sure if its overkill for my typical useage as I very rarely record video. If you're into video its probably a good investment. The class 10 likely helps save single pix faster too though.

heres the problem, the newer cameras almost always require faster sd cards, some even recommend you use a class 10 card. Being that you have a 6 yr old camera, you might also own older slower sd cards. The newer cards are no longer as expensive as they used to be. You can find a 32gig class 10 hcsd card for about $30 dollars ( http://www.amazon.com/Memory-Panasonic-DMC-GH2-Digital-Camera/dp/B004HQBQ24/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1401632586&sr=8-4&keywords=class+10+hcsd+card) . This is about what it cost to get a 16gig class 4 card, just a few years ago. so there you go, definitely get a class 10 card from now on, all your newer cameras pretty much need them.

I have found the Patriot 16GB SDHC Class 10 at Fry's for $50 is very compatible and a great value. Avoid all SDHC Class 2 or 4 if you intend to video. Class 6 is probably ok.Some cards cause the TX7 to ask for removal and reinsertion or even re-formatalthough it has been formated in the camera and photos processed.

You can use a 16gb. That s/b all you need even shooting video. SDHC 16GB CLASS 6

Any SDHC memory card. If class 4 - upto 16Gb and if class 10 - upto 64Gb. The link below would be perfect for example: http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-Flash-Memory-TS32GSDHC10E/dp/B003VNKNF0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8

I believe the Pentax K-r has a standard hot shoe, so it should work. However, it is a manual flash so you will need to have a clue on how to balance the natural light with the flash and thus correctly set the shutter speed along with the aperture.

Do not use a class 10 card with this camera. Class 4 or 6 and it will work properly.

Yeah, a Class 6 SHOULD do. I called Canon and they said 6 is the minimum. I went ahead and bought a 16gb. Class 10 Patriot on Amazon ($48). It has worked like a charm.
