As for the 8GB card over the 4GB card, there should be no significant difference in speed. As I noted above however speed may vary by production lot. I also suggest looking at the Tomshardware website as they have posted some good reviews and charts indicating speeds of various brands of cards.If you are purchasing the card here on Amazon, I suggest buying only the "direct from Amazon" card or you may wind up with a bogus card with very poor speeds. Other valid merchants include Adorama, BeachCamera, Abes of Maine, and B&H; Photo, some of which are listed in the Amazon Marketplace. Remember the addage "if it seems too good to be true...."

Incredibly helpful advice about SD cards for the S90, J. Robertson. Yours is the best advice on the subject I've seen anywhere (and that includes dpreview forums). Consider yourself uprated.

One last thing: Would you give the same advice re 8GB SD cards -- to pick up a Sandisk Ultra 8GB class 4?

Very nicely done review.... But I think I'll wait for the next version before a purchase. I bet it will have a SD memory chip slot. Meanwhile, my new Canon A560 digicam ($130.00) has the latest SDHC slot which will allow for rather extended length videos when using a high capacity card (4-8 GB). Not quite as convenient as the Flip, however.

I am a Canon shooter, but several of my friends use Nikons. We all feel the SanDisk compact flash cards are the most reliable. I have been using SanDisk cards for nearly ten years, and Those cards are still reliable. I can't say that about some other cheaper brands. Each of the others worked fine at first, but they eventually failed, some after as few as 6 months. For my shooting, a 16 GB compact flash card is almost always sufficient, but I do carry a 4GB and an 8GB card just in case.

Thank you so much for you reply!! I did wind up getting the SanDisk Extreme III 2Gb. Now its time to start learning how to use the camera ;o)

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.

I recently purchased a Canon Rebel XS SLR and also got the SanDisk Ultra II SDHC (8GB) - Class 2 memory card for the camera. I still haven't opened it because I am not sure if this is card writes fast enough? I also saw a 4GB SanDisk Ultra II - Class 4...confused on which one to go with..any suggestions?

Use either SD or CF, but I recommend a fast card; at least 600x speeds. Manufacturer does matter, Lexar, Sandisk are two of the approved cards.

Hi I checked the differance between S2 and S3 for more than a year. and finally I found that S2 is better than S3 with more than hundrad resons some of those are:1.S2 is 5mp which hlep you to use more capacity of SD memory.2.S3 comming without Digital Zooming.3.S2 comming with AA battery but SOME of the S3 models comming with special batteries.4.S2 I saw the quality of the camera case is better than the S3.5.6.7.100.I didn't like S3 at allZayed :)

I have had this marvelous little camera for about 2 years, and I am not tired of saying this camera is a treasure. I use Transcend 16GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card: it lasts a long time, for a year I have not had to buy a new card. Every weekend I take beautiful pictures with bright colors with my camera and record great videos to post them on YouTube. I'm not sure the memory card you mentioned is right for this camera, that R40 part sounds unfamiliar, but you can buy a regular Transcend, or any other brand 32GB SDHC class 10 memory card for your camera and you'll be on the safe side. It's inexpensive and lasts a loooong time :)

If you have a micro sd slot then any micro sd card will work. Mine works great for my S3. I like these SD cards a lot. The housing for the standard size SD is very useful as well for my car. Great buy. My wife and I both have one. Hope this helps.

When I bought my camera I bought a Transcend 32 Gb class 10 sdhc flash memory,thru Amazon for $24.00. Lots of storage and I love it. You need the 10 rating. I don't think I will ever have to buy another one. Hope this helps

I have a 16gb, 45mb/s SanDisk. The speed is what I found works best for this camera when you are shooting RAW. As to the size, I think you can safely go up to whatever your budget supports. I myself would rather have a couple cards in case one fails as compared to one huge capacity one.

Is the S95 fast enough? I have a CanonSD1200 and apart from wanting a point and shoot with manual control I also find it is slightly slow to focus and shoot when time is of the essence. I read some reviews that indicated the S95 may also be slow. I would like to have RAW but it's not a deal breaker so perhaps the P300 would be better if it is super fast and responsive. Thanks for any input.

My S2IS purchased at Amazon.com came with a Kingston 1GB card, so slow it's not speed-rated, I'm guessing 5X or so. But it still records OK, at 30 fps 640x480 with 16-bit uncompressed wav STEREO, just like the S3. It's just a pain to offload the files to computers. 1GB is enough for 9 minutes, so I suppose any 10x, 20x, rated cards should work.

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?

SanDisk is a good brand! Either a 32 GB or a 64 GB is good. Just made sure it is a Class 10 card. You need that speed. I think the SanDisk number is SDSDQXL-032 or 064. Lexar is also good and Delkin is OK. Practically any card will work provided it is rated Class 10.

Transcend 8 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC10E Buy a brand name one. Dont go with a generic and risk losing all your pictures.
