What memory card for this camera - does class matter?

SD memory cards are limited to less than 4GB according to the standard. SDHC is a newer extension of the SD memory card standard allowing memory cards to be designed with more memory than 4GB (up to 32GB). While the Rebel XS can use either SD or SDHC cards, your computer may not be able to read the newer SDHC cards if its a few years old so you may need an external SD/SDHC card reader. Generally speaking, photos can be copied faster from a class 6 memory card to your computer when you're using a memory card reader. A Class 6 may also help a bit when you're shooting in burst mode and hit the maximum. A class 4 card will work perfectly fine, just somewhat slower when transfering your photos.

The camera does its own formatting - it's part of the setup procedure which you go through, 'format, execute'. I found that using a 32-GB memory card caused a lot of trouble, and fixed that problem by using an 8-GB card instead. Mine are SanDisk SDHC cards, class 4, but I think any ordinary SD card would work well. But I only do still photos, and perhaps a faster card than class 4 would be needed for videos.

Any Class 10 SD Card will work. You can use SD, SDHC, SDXC. I would stick with a name brand since you will probably be using this for paid gigs and reliability is more important than price.

I'm sure you got it figured out by now, but to anyone else, I use a CLASS 10 SDHC 8GB card with no problems. Key is that it is CLASS 10. And the video length can be changed in settings.

Sandisk class 10 card works. 16gb or 32 gb. I use a 16gb and it almost full of 720 videos until the battery dies.

I ordered a Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card, when I purchased my camera. It is in my camera and I have used it to take pictures. Works fine. No problems. It's a great camera and I hope this helps you.

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.

I beg to differ in regard to use extreme III sdhc card. This is just a basic HD 1280x720 video. It is not needed to use higher class card. I have been using class 2 card to shoot video on this camera and I have no problem what so ever. I have been shooting video 30minutes non stop with no problem. If your camera shoot 1920x1080 I would suggest class 4 and higher.

I've been using SanDisk Class 10 cards at 16 and 32GB, and they both work fine. I recently filmed a 45 minute nonstop lecture with the 32GB in the A slot and it worked fine with lots of space to spare. Never had to rollover to the 16GB in the B slot. Hope that helps.

What I know is that it is really a SanDisk 16GB SD card - it works great. SanDisk are the best SD's I have found and I have tried others. As far as the class 2 sdhc, it really was not a consideration of mine when I purchased it.

You'll want to get at least a 16 or 32 GB Fast transfer speed MicroSDHC Memory Card. The fast transfer is important so you don't waste time downloading pictures and videos to your computer, so stay away from Class 4 cards unless you enjoy twiddling your thumbs. Class 10 is the way to go. If you plan on many videos the 32 GB card is best. Memory cards are inexpensive these days; a reputable card by SanDisk (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A) is only $24.12 at amazon. I used to spend that much on developing just one roll of film in the old cameras.

You need to buy any SDHC Memory Card - I recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Class-Memory-SDSDX-032G-AFFP/dp/B007M54E1M/

Well a class 10 is the best for view streaming video for that camera if you don't have anything important on that card try formating a see what happens if all else fails buy a class 10 you wilsee the difference

Bethany: As far as I know, your Samsung camera should accept any micro sd card. The only problem is if the memory (sd card,etc) is proprietary such as a Sony memory stick(for some Sony cameras). Please remember the "class" is important. Class 10 is much faster at saving and reading than a class 2. There will not be as much delay between each picture you take on your camera with a higher class (10). Anything beyond a class 10 for cameras is pretty much wasted. Besides, Amazon will be wonderful about returns is you are not satisfied. Regards, Jim Bethany: As far as I know, your Samsung camera should accept any micro sd card.

I used a memory card, but it was only 32GB SD. I would guess that card would be ok, but I don't know for sure.I think you will be disappointed in this camera as the included software is poor, and streaming doesn't work.

Any SDHC memory card. If class 4 - upto 16Gb and if class 10 - upto 64Gb. The link below would be perfect for example: http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-Flash-Memory-TS32GSDHC10E/dp/B003VNKNF0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8

I think the one I got is a class 6, but since I use it in my tablet as extra storage for pictures and music speed is less important. I don't download movies or create videos where I believe higher class like 10, with max speed, may be needed. I use plenty of class 4 regulare sd cards for still photos with no problems.
