what is the best "Speed performance rating" SD card for recording video?
173502
Any SDHC card with a Class 10 rating and a transfer rate of 80 mb/s and up.

User manual page 114 says "SD Speed Class 2 or higher memory cards re recommended".http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/4/0300013934/02/elph150is-ixus155-cu2-en.pdf

MicroSD I would recommend a class 10 for to get the best out of the video quality.

Any speed should be fine. What is more important is to use a name brand microSD card.

I would strongly recommend class 10 SDHC cards for the EXILM. The higher speed card is going to allow the camera to empty from it's buffers to the card as fast as possible, providing the best results.

I tried two 64gb cards. They both seemed to record but both gave error message saying they were too slow (although they were rated fast enough). I went back to a 32gb and all is well.

I use the gh4 for 4k recordings so it's fast enough for hd ass well.The card is very fast and can hold 2:30 hours of hd in the gh4.

To work with full HD, you probably need a card with speed of 17Mbps or more. Only Sandisk and Panasonic make such card (most Class 6 cards are too slow). The fastest San Disk are below 8GB (their Extreme III). Panasonic's 32GB (a shade faster than San Disk) is prohibitively expensive and sells for over $400. For HD the more important issue is speed (rather than storage). My suggestion is to buy in 8GB San Disk versions. Not only are they low cost but you will not be putting all eggs in one basket. The cards can get damaged or lost. Imagine 4 hours of video footage lost (which is the capacity of 32GB). Carrying stamp sized SDHC cards is not as painful as the miniDV. Just my 2 cents.

You need to buy a card and a much bigger one if you don't want to be constantly deleting stuff. I would consider 16gb the minimum. I have a 32gb class 10 GSkill that seems really fast for video and burst modes, but the same size Patriot and Mushkin class 10 cards are much slower and make the camera seem unresponsive. I even had to RMA the PAtriot one it was so slow, but the new one is acceptable. I got the GSkill on sale for $9.99, just watch New egg, they go on sale all the time. The faster the card the better. I will try a SanDisk Extreme when the price comes down.

I'm not sure. I am using Sony SDHC 32 GB cards, with a transfer rate of up to 40mb/s, which should be more than sufficient for the format I'm capturing. It seems to be working fine. I don't know why there would be any difference in quality between the cards. As long as the card can capture the video sufficiently fast, quality shouldn't be an issue. The quality comes from the lens and sensors.

Which memory card would work best all around in the canon sx260, a sandisk card rated 6 or a faster rated 10? Some have suggest either would do fine for still pictures while others suggested that a 10 rated card would be better for HD video. But is there a big difference in performance in this camera between the two?

I got the SAMSUNG MicroSDXC 64GB PRO Class 10 UHS-I Card for the fast read/write speed (70/20mbs). Search for best price!

Thanks. You are absolutely correct. I tried a high speed card (the exact one you recommed) and the video works great (no more dropped frames) even for very long videos. I used this camera to film a science project where students build and crushed balsa wood towers. It took as much as 10 minutes to pile on the weights before the towers broke, so the videos ended up being very long (at 420 fps, 10min of filming results in 140min of finished video). All this to capture about 1 second of slow motion crushing. Worth every penny.

I'm using: (2) 2x SanDisk Extreme 32 GB SDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Flash Memory Card 45MB/s

Not exactly.... you need a card that is speed rated in "UHS-1" not "UHS-3" for the pockect cam to actually support the speed... The only card you can effectively use to record ALL FORMATS Raw included is the Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MBps UHS-1.Keep in mind even Prores HQ is about 220Mbps so it may be fine for Gh4 but thats not the same as the pocket. Those may be expensive cards, but your footage is critical so why risk it.

From the downloadable manual: SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card Also: Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended for recording movies. When using a memory card with a lower Speed Class rating, movie recording may stop unexpectedly. Mine should arrive tomorrow!
