Memory Card Limit: I read somewhere that some older DSLR cameras have upper limits for memory card space - is that the case here?

I'm not sure about the memory limits, but I wouldn't shoot with a card much larger than 8 gigs anyway. Even a 4-gig card can hold plenty of pictures, but memory cards fail, become corrupted, and sometimes they may even break. I say you're better off getting several smaller memory cards, simply because the thought of losing all those pictures on a full (or nearly full) 32-gig or 16-gig card sounds like a nightmare. Additionally, having less space will force you to back up your pictures. It may even encourage you to delete the pictures you know came out obviously bad while you're in the field, which can help you conserve space. I suggest picking up a portable hard drive for when you need to travel and back up your pictures on the fly. They make models that fit into your pocket, and they will automatically copy the pictures you've taken directly from your memory cards. You don't need a computer or laptop to use them, and they can hold 200 gigs or more. Hope this helps!

I don't know. but the older camera cannot take more than 1 or 2 G memory. There is no need to take more becasue of the smaller size pictures. I hope it helps.

I purchased my camera about a month ago (Aug. 2012) and it still says 16GB max. I actually had the same question.....to be on the safe side I just put a 16 in but would have preferred a 32GB. db

I'm sorry I am not positive on this, but I recall reading that a 4gb is the smallest amount of memory. But I do know that I love this camera! My 3 yr old got ahold of it, opened the lense and hucked it into the road! I was hocked that it still worked, just a couple scratches. My last camera, a Casio, crapped out on me a few days before the warentee was up and didn't honor the warentee. Did I mention I love this camera though?

For certain the Canon A1100IS handles 32 Gbyte SD Memory Cards, that's what I'm using. I also want to affirm that it will handle 64 Gbyte SD Memory cards but can't verify due to dropping my first AS1100IS into Sweetwater River and I'm sure that my 64 GByte card was in that camera. Couldn't fish it out in hopes of recovering the memory card. My wife also has a Canon AS1100IS, that's three of them we have purchased and are pleased with the results. I've had good experience repairing the A1100IS because Canon has a helpful U.S. parts department.

Hi Yes Angry Mom you can use more than 2GB especially with 5mp digitals cameras. but with 6mp and above you can use only 2GB SD memory.

this question got me thinking and looking a bit. I have 2 Contour cameras (a Roam and a Roam2) I bought a 32GB card for the Roam when I got it and just tried it in the newer camera. the card light flashed red when I turned it on. I looked through the manual to find a 32GB card is the maximum and I needed to format the card. once I did it was fine.so yeah. 32GB is the max and it'll take SDSC and SDHC cards.

I use a16gb card in this camera. I put in 64 gb card from my canon SLR and the Nikon says I have 9999 photos left. After taking about 10 pictures I still have 9999 images left. It may be a limitation of the display because a 64 gb card would have ~11,000 images.

MAYBE, some of these early CF cameras have a 2GB memory card size limit, so I'm not saying it will or will not work... you'd have to try it.

The camera has its own limited memory, but accepts a card. I had to purchase one.

I have a SanDisk Ultra 32gb Class 10 card. Oddly, the camera thinks it's full quite often. I don't worry too much about it -- just format when I get that message.

With the 20d cameras can only store up to a total of 8GB's . So if you get a card with larger capacity it stops at about 8GB. There is a firmware update through canon which will enable a larger capacity. Go to the canon website and request a link for the firmware update.

This camera takes SDHC cards. As far as I know, once you have a camera that recognizes SDHC, the sky's the limit. For older cameras that DO NOY accept SDHC cards (those cards above 2GB), then 2GB is the limit. The reason is the file format on the cards. Up to 2GB used FAT16; above 2GB use FAT32. A few cameras that take CF cards (not SD), even if they are older, can use part of, or all o,f the larger sized CF cards, but there's no guarantee that there won't be an occasional problem with recording of images.

In case anyone reads this.... I am using this camera with a 64gb Compact Flash card with no problems. (Transcend) I have not tried with a 64gb SDHC card. However, I am using a 32gb SDHC card in at the same time with no problems.

I'm not sure if there is a limit in terms of memory card storage capacity. However I use 2 64G Sandisk & I can record

Always FORMAT new cards first in camera, I have been using the 16GB for quite sometimes now, no problem what's so ever!! Good luck!!
