Best Memroy Card for the Kodak Zi8 I was wondering what is he best SDHC memory card to purchase for my Kodak Zi8? I would like to get at least a 16gb one. I do not imagine that my videos would be more that 10 minutes long apiece, but I don't know until I get it, I may have a blast with it, so that is why I am looking at 16gb just in case I have so much fun with it. Just would like to know a good card to get that I could grow into if need be.Thanks Rich Best Memroy Card for the Kodak Zi8 I was wondering what is he best SDHC memory card to purchase for my Kodak Zi8?

I ordered the Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC6 from Amazon and have great videos with my new Zi8. Amazon has a good price on this size Memory and free shipping.

Your welcome, I'm just now learning how to use my new Zi8. I think I'm really going to like it. I also bought an extra battery for it, from Amazon. A Kodak KLIC-7004, just like the one that came with it. I would hate to be taking videos and have my battery run out. I'm checking into buying another battery charger too.

I also purchased the Transcend 16GB Class 6 card. As a previous poster mentioned, the card is a good price on Amazon. I originally purchased a 32GB Transcend Class 4 card. Reading posts on the internet I discovered Class 6 was the way to go. I returned the 32GB card to Amazon. Unfortunately 32GB seem to be a bit more pricey. I purchase 2 16GB Class 6 Transcend cards. They basically equaled the price of te 32GB Class 4.

I use two Sandisk SDHC class 10 cards, a 32 GB and a 16 GB. I can easily shoot a short film (30 min or less) at 1080p with no need to clear either card.

After owning this machine for about 3 months, I have my question answered. I have tried class 4, 6 and 10 SDHC cards, and they all perform nicely without any problem, all the video (1080i) playback were smooth no matter they were recorded by class 4, 6 or 10.Also, still very happy about my purchase, just came back from a family vacation over the summer, and this one device does it all, my camcorder is now collecting dust.

I bought an 8GB HCSD, because I wanted to have more space. Manufacturer claims is a class 6 card, which is supposedly the fastest (or one of the faster cards). Using it, I found: 1. The RAW shooting, would take about the same time that took my 2G MicroSD with adapter, that is, if you're planning about taking bursts of pictures RAW, that won't do the trick. 2. I found the bigger size of videos is 2GB, and that appears to be limited by the filesystem of the cards it self. That's around 23 minutes in the highest quality mode.

I have a 16GB microSD card in the camera and the max allotted time it allows me to shoot videos is 20 minutes. I've noticed that I can shoot 2 to 3 times for 20 minutes videos. I also have a 2GB microSD card that was originally for a cell phone and when I put it in, it allowed me to shoot 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure the bigger the SD card you have you will be able to shoot a lot more.

With the free 4GB SD Card that comes with you can record 25 minutes in 5 minute increments.. I use an 8GB card and I get 40 minutes in 5 minute increments before it loops over itself. By looping over itself it will write over the oldest 5 minute increment and so on. The max SD card you can put in is 32GB which should give you 160 minutes, so you should be good for well over 2 hours. Be sure to buy a SD4/32GB Card. It must be an SD4. I use a Kingston SD4/8GB and will upgrade to a SD4/32GB soon.Correction: It should be SD4 or higher. I just bought a SDHC 32GB Class 10 and it works fine after a test drive.

I have an 8GB micro SD card (SanDisk). It is good for 120 minutes. Every time one turns the camera on and off, it creates a new file.

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!!

Purely self promotional. Video demands that the SD card be capable of FAST recording data rates. Get a Class 6 SD card (class 4 as a minimum) and you will be very happy. I would recommend 16GBs as a minimum capacity. To the best of my knowledge Memory sticks are only available in the base class 2 speed, hence they really cannot be better than SD cards for video.

Are you sure they said the max size was 8 GB? Some people talk about using a 16 GB card on here. Maybe they meant 8 GB was the largest SDHC card available when the camcorder came out?

This camera can shoot a max of single 4GB video file at a time. If you are thinking of doing some video shooting with it, I suggest you buy a SDHC 8gb card. A 4GB video file at the best resolution setting renders you about 32 minutes of video. With the 8GB card, you can do some video and shoot some photos without having to change a SD card. Currently, newegg.com has a A-Data 8gb SDHC card for $51, but with a $20 rebate, it is only $31 + shipping. $ per GB is the cheapest you can get. I bought one card and it works great!

It comes with standard 8GB SD card (standard postage-stamp size; NOT micro size). I used a SanDisk 32GB Ultra SD (SDHC UHS-I) Card Class 10 Flash Memory, which is a high transfer rate card suitable for successful video recording...but to no avail; the video quality from the camera was still awful.

I am using an 8 gb lexan memory card. It seems to working be working well. You also get about 1226 shots with this card at maximum resolution. I don't know if it will take a sd card with more memory or not. Thank you, T.P. Rose I am using an 8 gb lexan memory card. It seems to working be working well.

Depend on the SDCard that you pick and the pictures size that you want. I didnt change the size and the card was 4GB and I took around 150 pictures, and 4 or 5 videos, 3 minutes each. If you are thinking of buying the camera, I totally recommend it. I also brought with me my other camera, Canon 16 megapixel a lot more expensive than the kodak, and I ended up using the Kodak more than my Canon.

I looked in my camera but someone switched sd cards. I believe I had the fast sdhc cards 64 GB. Just to let you know, this camera is amazing... I have the battery charging right to use tomorrow. I bought this camera for a surfing trip in Nicaragua. I was in the water taking picture and set it at its highest resolution and It is GREAT. I have a Lumix camera and this beats it. Plus I can take this one in the water. Hope it helps

I have the Canon SD1100 and would like to take nice videos of my four-month-old son. I am in search of a decent memory card. They all look/sound alike to me. The 16GB card/reader combo sounds like something in which I might be interested. But I can't find the exact one to which you are referring. Can someone post a link to it? Or maybe recommend other memory cards that would be good for videos on my camera?
