Memory card for Pentax K-x? Just ordered this package from Amazon. Will arrive in a month or so. Is class 6 ok? Which brand? Would appreciate your thoughts.

i'm using a class four since it's what I have on hand and no problems at all to report.

I have a class 2 2GB card and a class 4 8GB card. Both of mine worked just fine. The only gripe I have is when I shot at 12 megapixels it takes a bit to load on the card if you are trying to shot several shots in a row. I think maybe lowering the quality a bit or possibly a class 6 card might help but really don't know for certain.

I read some comments on dpreview.com of a guy who tested the Pentax k-7 with two different class 4 SDHC cards and one worked well (SanDisk Ultra II) while the other didn't (PNY). You can see the site below for more details. I would think a class 6 would work fine. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message;=33814313

Why does a memory card NOT come with the camera?? I just purchased one from Amazon to give as a gift, and upon opening and inspecting it, there is NO card. Also, the box was not sealed and had some worn edges... I'm thinking Amazon has pulled a fast one and sent me a returned item that is missing components.

i bought the Kingston 16 GB Class 4 MicroSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter SDC4/16GB and have it in my Camera and it works perfectly. i have my camera set to HD mode and it gives me almost 3 hours of recording time.

I have been using the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 4 8GB and it worked fine, but it takes a couple seconds for it to record the picture after I have taken it. I just bought the Sandisk Ultra SDHC Class 6 8GB and the camera says that it is not formatted. It does not work for some reason. Both the cards are exactly the same, except my newer card is Class 6. Does anyone know the problem or have the same one?

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.

http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=E1FJFPS4500 I got mine from here, and you can get 10 dollars off if you share their link (it shows up on their site on the right side) with 3 people. They will send the code to your email. The memory card that came with mine is this one. I was thinking it would be an off brand cheap thing, but it wasn't. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-4GB-ExtremeIII-SDHC-Card/dp/B000OFWJO6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1349582003&sr=1-1&keywords=sandisk+extreme++4gb My camera came with a strap to hang on your neck, lens cap, usb/av cable,cd with instructions,(you can also find that on the internet, to read through till it arrives) and batteries.. they have other bundles with a 16 gb card, and a tripod too. scroll down on this page. http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=fjfps4500 Don't listen to the bad reviews. I think they didn't read the instructions, or just don't know what they are doing. This is a great camera. Nothing feels cheap about it. and you feel good using it. There are a lot of settings, and so many things to do. I hope I helped

Yes that happened to me too. I thought it was a user error, but after reading reviews, it seems to happen to half the users. This camera is the worst purchase someone could make. Send it back asap with your receipt and make a copy!!! I took too long so Pentax wouldn't fix it for me. PS. I only took the camera to 10 feet.

Thanks, I thought so. A friend of mine ordered a pkg deal from eBay and it didn't come with the charger. I guess she got ripped off with that. She ended up having to go out and buy one.One more question... I've been looking on here to find the best memory card for the camera without paying too much money for an actual Panasonic one. Is the Transcend memory card compatible? (The Transcend 16GB SDHC memory card with USB plug-in). I've read mixed reviews about which ones work or don't work.Thanks in advance & thanks for the previous response.

I wish I could help you, Paul R. When I purchased this brand of film, it was as a gift and the recipient told me what her camera needed. I no long interact with this person. Again, I apologize for not being of any help to you. I do have one suggestion, go on the KODAK website, that may be of some help to you.

Boris...I found your comments helpful. I got the 8GB Zen about a month ago. I really like it. My biggest qualm is the SD card. I find that the player freezes very often when I play from the SD card...especially when I play video. I've had no such issues when playing off the internal memory. I got a generic SD card brand. I noticed that the product page on the creative web site has a compatible list of memory cards... should i stick to them to minimize the 'freezing' incidents ? I am interested to know what brand you are using. thanks in advance.

Funny. I just emailed Sanyo and asked them the best card for this camcorder and they said a Class 2 or 4!!!!They said not to use a 6 or a 10. Whatta buncha yo-yos. These guys are supposed to be the experts but they have no hands-on experience.

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at Lexar Professional 400x 16GB SDHC UHS-I Flash Memory Card LSD16GCTBNA400 . I am happy to say the choice was on the money as this card is amazingly fast, and greatly improves the use and experience with this camera. Hopefully this helpful, good luck!

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.

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

I had a Transcend 16 GB Class 10 Card in my T2i, and it would take photos, yet not record 1080 HD video, after a few short clips! Canon Tech Sprt told me, that although the card was rated at Class 10, it was dropping down below class 6 at certain times during its use! That the camera was only designed and tested and meant to be used with an ACTUAL CLASS 6 CARD! If you can believe that! I now have a 16 GB Class 10 Lexar Card in it, and it is working fine. (Class 6, is cited in the owners manual.)

Yes, xD cards are becoming hard to find and from what I've seen they're going the way of the dinosaur! I've had my camera for 5 or 6 years, and love it, but will buy a new one when I can no longer find the xD cards. In regards to your question, sorry, but I can't help you. I'd go on line to search for information or contact the manufacturer - if you haven't already done that. Good luck!

You only really need an SD card look for an SDHC class 10 or better. DO NOT BUY A SONY BRAND CARD IT WILL NOT WORK! I tried 2 different ones and many other Pentax owners also cannot get them to work. Sandisk extreme is the brand I bought and it works flawlessly. The price difference is in how fast the card can be written to which makes a huge difference in the cameras preformance.
