camera memory card
I recently purchased a cannon sx210. Which memory card would you recommend for this? It takes video so would I need a sdhc or would a sd card work? I would mainly use it to take pictures.
Re: camera memory card
(I have the same camera!)
Do you already have SD cards (i.e. from using a previous camera)? If so, they will work fine. The big difference between SD and SDHC cards is just the capacity. If you find that you have enough space on the SD card, you can just stick with that.
However, if you're shooting at high resolution or recording much video, you'll use up the space on the card faster. The largest SD cards can only hold up to 4GB, while SDHC (HC = High Capacity) cards can hold a lot more (up to 32GB). Obviously, the advantage is that you can store a lot more on each card.
The biggest disadvantage is that a lot of older SD card readers don't support SDHC cards. If you have a computer or other device with a built-in card reader, and it's older than a year or two, there's a good chance the reader won't be able to read the new cards. However, you can get a standalone SDHC card reader quite cheaply, and if you're just connecting your camera directly to the computer or another device via USB, that should still work fine.
When I bought my SX210, I bought an 8GB SDHC card that came with a card reader. Even using my older Canon Powershot, I could easily fill a 2GB card during a 2-week trip. Since I have a bad habit of misplacing the cards as soon as they're out of the camera, I really wanted a larger card, so that I wouldn't have to swap them out mid-trip. I normally use around 3GB in two weeks, so I figured 8GB would last me through two weeks even if with the larger files. And if I decided I needed more space later, I could move up to a 16 or 32GB card (but I didn't want to spend that much if I wasn't going to use it.)
Thanks for the reply. That's what I got 8g sdhc. Do you like your camera? It got some of the best reviews for a point and shoot. I haven't used it yet so I have no idea the quality of pictures it takes. So far the only negative, is where the flash is. When I turn it on, I always accidently turn off the flash.
