What SD card for CANON S90?
1262387
The manual doesn't specifically give requirements so I tested my S90 with an 8GB Sandisk Extreme (30MB/s*), an older 4GB Sandisk Extreme III (20MB/s*), an older model 4GB Sandisk Ultra II (15MB/s*) and a really old 2GB Sandisk Blue card. I set the camera to record JPG+RAW and set it for continuous shooting. I held the button down for 60 seconds and got the same results for the first 3 cards at 47 exposures in 60 seconds and 25 exposures for the Sandisk Blue. At 11.4 MB per shot, the camera was packing down files at approximately 9MB/second which is well below what the first three are capable of providing. Shooting simple jpegs or video will require even lower speeds. (*The speeds shown are manufacturer's stated values) In static testing, I have found that the write speed of my Ultra II card is up to 18.2 MB/s while the considerably more expensive Sandisk Extreme card is only slightly better at 19.3 MB/s, which may of course be the speed limitation of my Sandisk card reader. (Speeds may also vary between card production runs.) Does this answer your question however? Not really. The first 3 cards noted above are indicated as class 10, 6, and 2** respectively. But as Sandisk cards generally run well above their class ratings, this doesn't tell you what speed a generic class 10, 6, or 2 card will provide. Speeds may vary significantly in a specific class based on the quality of the card. If you stick with a good quality card though anything class 4 or above should be fine. A Sandisk Ultra 4GB Class 4 card can be obtained for less than $15 through Amazon from Beach Camera who is an authorized sandisk dealer. (Beware of unauthorized dealers as I have received a bogus item from one of the more prominent ones that sells here on Amazon.) (**Please note that my older model Ultra II card referenced above was shown as a class 2 while the current Sandisk Ultra models are listed as a class 4 even though the stated 15MB/s has not changed.)

Greetings Ms. Gabrielle Z. In looking at the web site of fujifilmusa [I found the brochure and booklet for the S1500 I presume Finepix. It states that the camera takes sd card 2gb/ and sdhc cards of 4gb and 8gb. It has a graph of dimensions of j peg 3648 fine/ j peg normal/ etc. I would now use the 8gb. If you can you can buy up any 2 gb you find. Prices are going up on them. Maybe use the class 4 sd & or check with fuji support for additional directives. Possible damaged card. check on it, wipe clean the metalic pieces with clean soft cotton shirt gentlly fog it n wipe. Good Luck. Steve

I bought a very inexpensive 2GB SD card of the Crucial brand. These are almost always on sale somewhere on the Web. It's not rated at a super high speed (40x), but it seems to work fast enough in my A590IS. I contacted Canon Tech support re. what would be the optimum speed chip to get for the 590 and they didn't seem to know. Duuuh..., so I ended up with the Crucial. I don't use the highest res setting, as the lens isn't really up to it, so there's room for plenty O' pix on the 2 Gigger. .bh.

Any micro sd chip will work. I use a 16gb Sony Class 10 for mine, which is overkill by a long shot. 2,4, or 8gb us good for most anything you want, unless you want to run a lot of apps or games. or just photos and music any just mentioned will suffice.

To get the best performance, get a high speed SanDisk Class 10 microSD card. A 32gb SanDisk card can usually be found on Amazon for under $25.

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.

I'm using a class 4 8GB SDHC card (Sandisk Ultra II) with my Canon S90 camera. Haven't gotten any hiccups so far and it loads images plenty fast for me. Though there are some cameras out there that will want a minimum speed from SD cards. For instance, most dslr cameras will benefit from using class 6 (minimum write speed of 6MB/sec) SD cards because it can shoot multiple frames per second. Some go as high as 9fps. There aren't very many Point and Shoot cameras that support such a high frame rate so in short they can't benefit from the latest and greatest SDHC cards.

Any MicroSD card would work as long as it's up to 32 GB only. Any higher it would not.

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)

Any regular SD card will work. I recommend a SD HC card because of the faster speed. I use a 4 GB card but any size will work with this camera. A micro SD card will not fit the camera without an adapter.

According to page 232 of the Canon G9 user guide, you CAN use SDHC memory cards, provided that you format the card 'IN YOUR CAMERA'. Here is the link to the user guide, which you may download to your computer also. Hope this helps! http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0/0900009910/01/PSG9_CUG_EN.pdfP.S.

The fact that the 900 is cheaper on Amazon and elsewhere should tell you something. I've heard that the 900 was created to satisfy Canon marketing people who insisted on having a 10mp SD out there.

Yes and I use a Sandisk (@10) 32 gb sd card. It's works wonderfully! I LOVE my camera (Better than my smart phone camera) purchased back in 7/2012. I'd buy another if needed!

I couldn't find the manual on CanonUSA.com so I will have to reply on memory... I believe the camera should be fine with any SDHC card (but not the SDXC cards). Since the camera doesn't have video, however, there's no need for a 32GB card or an extremely fast one. Many photographers like smaller cards - 4GB or 8GB - so that if a card should be lost or fail, you will lose less photos. As far as performance goes, the XS has a more limited write speed so a class 10 card may be overkill (though it could download faster to your PC from a card reader). In my experience, Sandisk cards have performed the best and been most reliable but be sure to buy them from a reputable dealer as there have been numerous reports of poorly performing counterfeits being sold on certain bidding sites.

I'm using a 2GB SD card on an S3 IS without any difficulty. Don't know about the S2 IS, but seems like it should work equally well.

As it states in the N900 user guide, the maximum microSD card size you can use is 16GB. Hope this helps.
