32GB SDHC cards? Has anyone tried 32GB cards?

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.

I use a 32gb myself, but I would think any capacity SD type card would work.

The card readers being installed in these cameras should now all support 32GB SD. If you purchased a model about a year ago, it may only support 16GB though.

i already have used 32gb cards, no problems so far. i doubt there would be any problems with 64gb. one thing is clear, tho: poor-quality cards fail, no matte what, with errors very likely, etc., & prices (etc.) often vary apart from quality, it seems.

Good morning, buy a micro-sd card 32 Gb and works perfect.Best regardsPedro Marquez

Kind of a dumb question because the headline says "32GB SD card", but I thought that might mean that it *takes* such a card.

I use 64gb SDXC (as fast as I can get) as my regular card and I've never had a problem.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I have a 4gb SDHC that would make or break the decision to buy this.

I had the same question at the same time! Just found the answer here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=18183#SupportDetailAct and search for "largest" - it is the first answer in the list that comes up. For SDHC, it says: Secure Digital High Capacity currently supports capacities up to 32 GB.

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 a 32 GB with no problem - havent tried larger - Best to get the 10 rated card for best resolution and quickest access

Interesting. I never even knew that standard SD (not SDHC) were available up to 8 gig. I thought that they maxed out at 2 gigs. good to know. Wish the thing DID read SDHC at the card slot. Still, it's a pretty nice device.

I`ve used about 4 different sd cards with no problem. Used 32 GB card as well as a card with adapter, again with no problems. So far have not found any of my cards which didn't work.

I tried a 64gb sandisk extreme on it and it created lots of 'dead' files, so I used an old 32gb laying around. no probs with 32. I loved the video quality so gave to my husband for his minivan, and got myself a DOD TECH LS460W (via Amazon) no probs using the 64gb card. I think with 460w you can even use the 128. time is atomic, and it has gps, and speed data.

I have a 32GB card in mine. I don't know whether there is anything larger available.

I was able to use both a 32 GB SDHC and MicroSD card wih no problems. It just takes patience to download the card but you can tell the unit is working because the % of data downloaded counts up to 100%.
