Micro SD card,, class 10 for best video, and the bigger the better to record HD.

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.

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.

No this is not a micro SD card. If your phone is new and you want to take UHD 4K video like some phones including my LG G3 I just got and others you should make sure to get a micro SD card that has a fast write speed for that purpose. Recommended are the Sandisk Extreme Ultra which is not only class 10 but also a U3 card which will be compatible with that 4K video and not just 1080P video. More expensive but if you want to take the UHD video it is what you need.

Hi, maybe my question is for some techies ridiculous, but I'm totally ignorant and not very familiar with these things. Thus If I want to buy a micro SD/SDHC card for the Clip Zip, what class do I have to purchase ? Class 2, class 6, class 8 ? Thks for your advice

I believe I use the 32 GB ultra class 4 and it works fine for both pix and video . Got those from Amazon also.

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.

I purchased a 32GB G-Skill Class 10 Micro SD Card for mine. This worked well and provides a good 4 hours of 1080p video.

Get the fastest MicroSD card you can find, that is usually the limitation, I use a Sandisk UltraPlus 32G HC I card without any trouble. It is rated Class 10 and UHS class 1. They are reasonably priced as well.

I don't know if any SD card is so much better than another, but any name brand SD HC card works. I happen to like SanDisk myself. I use an 8gb currently but I know up to 64gb are available. To give you an idea of time, at 1080P (HD) video setting, I use approx 100mb per minute of filming, so 1gb is ~ten minutes: 8gb card should get about 70+ minutes (as an 8 gb card formatted is around 7.3gb usable)

Any SDHC 16GB card should be good. I usually get Class 10 cards (as they're usually faster than Class 4/6, but not always). As with any product, read the reviews before deciding to buy it. Note that higher-capacity cards tend to be less reliable than the low-capacity ones, so you might be better off buying two 16GB cards instead of one 32GB one. Back up your files often!

You need to buy a card and a much bigger one if you don't want to be constantly deleting stuff. I would consider 16gb the minimum. I have a 32gb class 10 GSkill that seems really fast for video and burst modes, but the same size Patriot and Mushkin class 10 cards are much slower and make the camera seem unresponsive. I even had to RMA the PAtriot one it was so slow, but the new one is acceptable. I got the GSkill on sale for $9.99, just watch New egg, they go on sale all the time. The faster the card the better. I will try a SanDisk Extreme when the price comes down.

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

Great tips in this thread, thanks.I can't find what memory card I can get for my new 790. Does anyone know if it will take an 8 or even a 16 gig SDHC card? And can I use a "Class 6", or is it only able to accept/benefit from a "Class 4"? Can anyone recommend a solid, inexpensive card reader for SDHC cards? Thanks for your replies.

I use a 16GB class 10 card in my XP200, but not sure if its overkill for my typical useage as I very rarely record video. If you're into video its probably a good investment. The class 10 likely helps save single pix faster too though.

The 64 gig card is not recommended. A class 4 32 gig card is what I have been using, it gives me between 5 and 7 hours of nonstop recording with no error.
