SD Card

My first guess is that the SD Card is for still pictures only. Considering that full quality DV video runs about 12 GB per hour, I am not aware of any SD cards that will get you anywhere close to that.

Well, I take that back -- the card slot is for SDHC/MMC. You can get these cards up to 8GB (or possibly more). Perhaps that is what they intend for you to use for video...

Of course, I'm seeing 8 GB cards on the web for over $100 per card, which does drive up the overall price.

And of course, now I see your original question was about if it also take SD cards in addition to SDHC. Sorry, should have read more closely.

I found this on Wikipedia -- take it for what its worth:

A new SD format, SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity, SD 2.0), allows capacities in excess of 2 GB. SDHC uses the FAT32 file system which supports partition sizes greater than 2 GiB[10]. It uses the same form factor as SD, but the SD 2.0 standard in SDHC uses a different memory addressing method (sector addressing vs byte addressing), thus theoretically reaching a maximum capacity of up to 2048GB. SDHC cards only work in SDHC compatible devices, but standard SD cards work in both SD and SDHC devices. The SDHC trademark is licensed to ensure compatibility.

So, in short.. yes it SHOULD work. ;)

I would guess though that either way you go high capacity or standard SD card, you'll need the high-speed ones. I could be wrong there, but it certainly seems like if you're going to be recording video you would need a faster card. I'd guess the manual should answer all these questions.

A quick look at the samsung website turned up this link to the manual:

  • Card Association to realize data capacity over 2GB.
  • The SDHC memory card supports a mechanical write protection switch. Setting the switch prevents accidental erasure of fi les recorded on the SDHC memory card. To enable writing, move the switch up to the direction of terminals. To set write protection, move the switch down.
  • Due to change In File Allocation System and physical specifi cations, SDHC memory card can not be
