DSC-HX5V - what memory card would you recommend ?

[hayster]

Just a quick question.

What type of memory card would you use with the HX5V ?

It accepts quite a few different types and I wondered which works best.

Where would you shop for one too ?

Thanks.

Hello Hayster, I have the same camera, and was reluctant to spend £83 for a Sony card. I ended-up going on Amazon, and getting a Transcend 16Gb card Class 10. They recommend a minimum of Class 6, because of the wealth of high-speed data-crunching you impose on the card when you shoot burst at 10 frames a second or HD1080 Video, which this little gem will do! It cost about £18, and took a fortnight to arrive, with the terrible weather, and sheer volume of stuff customers were buying, before the blip in VAT, and of course Christmas! Hope this helps.
