Can anyone recommend a 8 GB SDHC card for SD 780 IS? I am not sure whether to a get a scandisk or some other 8 GB SDHC card. Can someone please recommend a 8 GB SDHC card for SD 780 IS?

I had the same question so I spoke with a Canon rep today. He recommended SanDisk but noted that the sd780is only writes up to 18-19 MB/sec. So it's essentially a waste of money to purchase a card that writes any faster than 20 MB/sec. Check this one out: Sandisk 8GB EXTREME SDHC SD Card Class 6 (SDSDX3-8192 Bulk Package) However, faster cards are likely to write and read faster through a card reader or on your computer.

Class 4 is good enough. I use a class 4, 8G sandisk SD. The result is very satisfied.

i don't understand the20 mb/sec. http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc says class 2, 4, 6 only do 2, 4, and 6 mb/sec. the link to the sandisk card shows class 6 but does say 20mb

It is rather confusing. On the link I provided, scroll down to the "Technical Details" part of the page. It reads "Minimum 20MB/ sec sequential read/write speeds." Best of luck!

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps!Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

I use 32 GB. On page 315, it says "SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards." I think this means that if they make it, you can use it.

I don't know if any SD card is so much better than another, but any name brand SD HC card works. I happen to like SanDisk myself. I use an 8gb currently but I know up to 64gb are available. To give you an idea of time, at 1080P (HD) video setting, I use approx 100mb per minute of filming, so 1gb is ~ten minutes: 8gb card should get about 70+ minutes (as an 8 gb card formatted is around 7.3gb usable)

I tried a 4 Gb SDHC card. It works, however, the cell phone was very slow and many files had problems. Now, I am useing my 2 GB SD, again. Mayhe the SDHC card is faulty.

SDHC works like a champ, I believe it can handle up to a 16Gb card...Fred Dagg seems to have provided the thorough answer below.

I'm getting a 16 GB sandisk extreme 3 sdhc card very soon. Like by this weekend and I will try it out.

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb. Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

I didn't try this yet. But one the reviewers (see here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R8PUZKPTAI12C/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B001JJFR8Q&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=) just said he used an SDHC 8GB card with no problem.

Yup, just put a 32GB one in mine. Only shows 29.something gigs, a few short of full capacity, as do all cards and flash drives I wish I knew why and it drives me kooky, hee. But yes, it works. So there you go. Update: Please take note, previously I'd answered that someone informed me the he's using a 64GB card on this unit. He's since informed me that he had mistakenly posted on the wrong thread and intended that info for another player. So I've edited my answer. That said, the info on the 32GB card still stands, as I'm personally using one in my Evo. Cheers

Yes, my 8gb and 4gb cards are both SanDisk SDHC cards. The one in my phone works perfectly fine. Is the firmware update really necessary? I haven't really seen what's in it? I imagine if they went through the trouble to put out an update, I should install it, but there again I'm hoping they'll be coming out with an upgrade to the newer operating system since 3.0 should be coming out this year. I just don't know what else to try to get this update on my machine just shy of exchanging it for a new one. I'm kind of afraid to do that since I read somewhere else that a gal exchanged hers only to be given a used one that someone else returned.... So darn frustrating. :/ Yes, my 8gb and 4gb cards are both SanDisk SDHC cards. The one in my phone works perfectly fine. Is the firmware update really necessary? I haven't really seen what's in it?

Micro SDHC is what I bought to use in it. Make sure it is a MICRO. I accidentally bought a regular one. I got mine at Wal Mart . Made by PNY 16GB Hope this helps!

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 have a Canon Powershot SD780 myself and have used a 16Gb card over and over with no troubles. The 4gb-PER-CLIP limit realistically kicks in at just over 21 minutes when shooting 1280x720x30fps. I once had trouble with a 32gb card which died after shooting a lot of continuous video on a warm night, i think that (inexpensive off-brand of) card might have "melted" (camera was getting hot). But i have NEVER had trouble with 16GB or 8GB SDCH cards in the Powershot SD780. Nice camera :)

The S3 was released nearly 3 years ago. The product description only mentions SD memory, not SDHC. Therefore your best bet is to use SD card with 2GB or lower.

How do you remove the 32 GB SDHC card? Mine arrived with an empty SDHC slot in which I stuck a $70 16GB card. Disk Utility shows two drives one for the system with 7695 MB total and one for storage with 28758 MB total I also have the 16 GB card installed.
