New SD card for Cannon S3IS camera

[tremmor]

I only have a 2 gig. Ive read the manual 10 times. Nothing about size. Any ideas how big this camera will handle. 8 gig maybe?
thanks.

It looks like 2gb was the limit but users have said that they have gotten 4, 6, and 8 gb cards to work.

Read the first 2 links on the search results. You'll need the sdhc card though.

Thanks JohnB. 2 gig has worked fine. I did not run out of pictures yet but was considering upgrading. Worse case another 2 gig. I had to buy another microdrive for backup. upgraded to 32 gig. Comes in handy at times.
thankyou for your time. appreciated.

Most people shoot in JPEG anyway, and the file sizes are so small you can shoot hundreds of pictures with a 2GB card.

Thats true. I had enough left over but was concerned. Taking movies thought might be an issue. Didn't run out. I have every attachment you can get. Macro, wide angle and telescopic lens. Im too impatient to learn but trying. I will buy another 2 gig and call it a day. Thanks.

Just dump your card after you shoot

I knew a lady that didn't know SD cards were reusable and kept buying new ones

I believe it only takes SD cards, not SDHC (high capacity), so any standard SD card should work.
