What Class flash memory to get for Lumix zs8? Is that true or can I use Class 10 as well?

Class 6 & up, is likely what they meant. (Unless either he didn't really kno they have a new Class out now, or you mentioned Class 10 & he wasn't sure what it meant) The lower the "Class", the "slower" the card; this is probably most noticeable between shots when you're waiting for the camera to return to "ready to shoot" OR when you want to quickly review the pics you've just taken/ last shot, & they take forever to come up or scroll thru. Class 10 is considered better & faster because it is supposed to be, and the best brands are usually Transcend & SanDisk, but everyone's preference varies depending on experience, so if you prefer, just buy whatever is most affordable in the meantime until you can work your way up to something more expensive, more roomy, more faster &/or more quality. Oh, and also, the amount of speed you'd want in a card (and camera) really depends on the main usage for your camera, ie do you want to be able to shoot lots of HD footage? (HD, being heavier than regular video becuz of its high quality, works best on faster cards) Or will you just be taking mostly pictures & if using video, they'll just be casual things going straight to YouTube/ etc? If the latter, a Class 6 is perfectly fine. It's been the leading Class for quite a few years now, so some slower cards (Class 2 or 4) still exist; it's best to avoid those. If the former, then a Class 10 is indeed the best choice, as it is the latest advancement in the speeds of digital storage cards. Hope this helps! xoxoxo

You'll want to get at least a 16 or 32 GB Fast transfer speed MicroSDHC Memory Card. The fast transfer is important so you don't waste time downloading pictures and videos to your computer, so stay away from Class 4 cards unless you enjoy twiddling your thumbs. Class 10 is the way to go. If you plan on many videos the 32 GB card is best. Memory cards are inexpensive these days; a reputable card by SanDisk (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A) is only $24.12 at amazon. I used to spend that much on developing just one roll of film in the old cameras.

I think most digitals today can handle 32gb plus. Check the users manual for the camera. Class 10 is best for digital cameras.Hope this helped.

You can buy the standard SDHC card for this camera, but if you will be taking a lot of videos, you may want to buy a class 10 SDHC card. Alos watch for the read write capability. I bought a 16GB class 10 for mine.

E. Thomas - Where in the manual does it say you need class 6 memory for video ? I noticed the Panasonic web site lists class 4 memory cards as an accessory for this camera.

I wouldn't recommend using a micro SD for your camera. You're better off buying a regular SD card with 32 to 64 GB. Class 10 basically means when you are taking burst shots or shooting HD video you won't get any lag.

We bought the micro sd card at Walgreen's. It gives good video pictures. Don't know what a class 10 card is......sorry.

Any SDHC memory card. If class 4 - upto 16Gb and if class 10 - upto 64Gb. The link below would be perfect for example: Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card (TS32GSDHC10E)

Class 6 micro sd card will work, a class 10 is too fast for it skips frames and class 4 has a few issues with being recognized fully. Class 6 cards are the best way to go

You must have a Class 4 for it to work properly. I done the same thing with a 32 mb, Class 10 and got the same result, "mass storage". I ordered a Sandisk, 16mb, Class 4 from WalMart with their site to store to make sure it was a Class 4, cost less that $15. I worked perfectly. I hope this helps, get a Class 4 mini SD card up to 32mb max.

It does depend on your need, but not for the reasons referenced in other answers. A) are you going to shoot video or continuous (sports)? If so you want a faster card Class 6 minimum but probably class 10. Also if you shoot Raw or video you want at least 8gb but probably 16gb in size. Another question is; if you buy one big card 32 or 64 and lose the card or it becomes corrupted you lose all your photos. All professionals recommend multiple smaller size cards for this reason instead of 1 big card. I use a 16gb Sandisk pro Class 10 high speed card, which covers everything and has a free data recovery feature if needed. If this helps please hit the "yes" button! Thanks.

this is an excellent choice to start with digital cameras. If you need an SD or Micro SD memory adapter. I recommend you buy an 8GB Class 10. the more capacity the better, and the higher the faster class pass your photos to your computer. Welcome and enjoy your new camera.

Honestly I don't know what it supports. I would assume for the best quality you would need to use a class 10 but as long as it is a memory card that fits in the slot I would assume it would work. I would email customer service or call them and ask which kind they support. I got my card from them and I noticed that their description doesn't say what kind of class memory card they use. Hope this helps :)

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

check out the manual, its doing both (charging flash and writing cached buffer on the memory), meaning i may well need an external (ohh gooding!!!! more stuff for my camera) so for such a case, what external flash unit would you recommend, cause i've been looking at the at different ones, and the one that fits my needs the best according to what i've seen is the 430EX II by canon, what your insight is it to much to little?
