Should I have bought the Olympus VN-702 PC instead of this? I've just bought this PX-312 device, which accepts a card up to 2GB, when a competitor that is about the same price, the Olympus VN-702PC, accepts 32GB. Did I make the right buying decision?...

I'm not sure why you think the Sony ICD-PX312 recorder is limited to just a 2 GB memory card. It can accept up to a 32 GB SanDisk card. In my "Operating Instructions" guide that came with the Sony ICD-PX312, the info on the various memory cards the recorder can support are on page 40. Personally, I only use 2 GB and mostly 4 GB micro cards, as they can hold up to about 22 hours or 45 hours of recordings, respectively. That's a LOT of conversation! I have been extremely pleased with this recorder and the high quality of the recordings. I've used many recorders, from a variety of manufacturers, previous to this one and none compare in functionality and quality. Just be sure to always have a couple spare AAA batteries on hand. Due to the long recording capabilities, you will need to replace the batteries somewhat regularly.

My husband tells me that it came with a card which was something like 4 gigs (or whatever it's called). He said the only drawback he finds is that you must use a Sony rechargeable battery. Can't just pop anything in. Hope that helps.

I don't think I considered the Olympus at all, but the Sony one had 334 reviews and still had good ratings compared to 80 reviews for the Olympus. So far, the Sony PX312 has been great. I use it to record lectures and it is able to pick up student responses even though I place it in the front of the classroom.

I have been using a Sandisk 4GB SDHC (class 2 speed), and a Sandisk 8GB SDHC Extreme III (class 6 speed) with this camera and both seem to work fine. I've noticed that some retailers claim in their "specifications" sections that this camera can only use cards up to 2GB (not SDHC), but I haven't found this to be the case. I'm not sure if I'll actually be able to get the full 4-8GB storage capacity out of my cards, but compatibility hasn't been a problem. Hope this info helps.

I use a class 10 Transcend 16 gig card and it works great. Never had a problem. Also, this camera is great at getting a good focus. That's why this one was a keeper.

At least as originally delivered by Sony, I am sure that everything you mention came with my HX10V. I LOVE the pictures, options, and films. I just bought two 32gig SD cards for an upcoming trip to China, and they both work great! Their local cost was $13 each, US. So I wouldn't worry about an SD card. I also have some memory sticks, 2g and 4g, but I never use them. They do work, however, with the camera. I actually bought microSD so that I could also use them in my Samsung tablet, and I can now film on the Sony, eject, and view on the tablet without any duplication or transfer. Perhaps too much detail - I am in video production for broadcast and can easily get lost in the technical weeds.

I used a 32gb card and it works fine. I'm not sure you can use a larger one. We just have an extra card if we need it, but haven't had to switch them yet. The camera comes with a USB cord to connect to the computer, but I just remove the card and use my computer's card reader. Hope this helps, Tim

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.

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 have used the 32GB card in 3 of my camera's a Samsung Smart camera WB350F, Pentax Optio V520 and a Kodak my wife camera and she also loves this card. You can not beat the price either.

My kit was the lesser package, 32gb card. I asked the same question, someone told they got a class 10 Fujifilm. I ordered mine, and got a class 10 Sony (40Mbps) card. Beach Camera, if you your reasearch isn't a two bit operation, they'll give a card that'll work, mine works flawlessly, and I do iALL full HD video. So in relation, I hope that might help answer your question.

I'll be able to do a direct comparison soon, as I've got a PX312 coming in, after purchasing the VN-302PC. The specs and features are very nearly clones of each other, but I've found that the Olympus lacks some rather basic abilities that the Sony covers, such as a means of moving files between the 5 folders for organization. Also, the files recorded on the internal memory can't be moved over to the external memory card through the recorder; though it's easy enough to do when connected to a PC. It shows up as two separate drives on the PC, and the files remain uniquely named whether recorded on internal or external memory, so it's a simple matter to just copy them over. (If they reused file numbers on int vs ext memory then there would be an added complication of renaming before copying). I'd rather that the file names included the timestamp, like some other recorders do, but neither of these do that. Record quality of the Olympus is fine, so if the Sony does just as well, the Sony has more comprehensive features. The file erase process is better on the Sony as well, because it plays back the recording you're about to erase for confirmation before recording. With the Olympus you have to stop the playback on the target file first and be careful that it didn't advance to the next file, and watch the screen for the sequence of prompts to follow through with the delete process. I think the Sony method for deleting is better because it can be initiated while the target file is playing, and the playback of the recording as confirmation has less potential for inadvertently deleting the wrong recording. I believe the Sony also retains the time for at least a minute during battery changes, while the Olympus loses an hour or two and needs to be reset. It's not very significant since the batteries last so long, but so far, all the pros have been on the Sony side. When I get the Sony in hand I'll see if it actually performs as well as the Olympus

I got a 16GB Class 6 Sandisk card before our vacation to Europe. On a bicycle ride around a lake the camera would stop midstream in a video shoot and said something like "the data stream is too fast for the card". I was shooting in the highest HD mode. It happened several times so high speed action (a lot of data) is too fast for a Class 6. Buy a faster card. I wish I had.

I am not sure, the P2-card is a "new" version of the PCMCIA-card, that this cardreader is develloped for.I suggest that you contact the support at http://www.addonics.com/
