Keep in mind, though, that's double the price of an average 32GB card. Lean that way if you're going to be shooting lots HD video or burst imaging at sporting events & such. Class 10 is up to 1080p video.

If you buy memory cards on ebay, be aware of too cheap. There are 1000s of fake cards being sold.

I can tell I will have a big learning curve trying
figure out all the functions of this camera.

I did buy the SanDisk 32mb Extreme Plus UHS-1 CARD.
Took me several tries to get it to work and format it.

Did not know I was suppose to slide this small adapter
piece into the SD card.

Now the camera says I can take 3947 pictures.

now I can start to learn the basics.

Welcome to the world of the "big roll". I remember when first starting out taking pictures the agony of deciding between the 24 exposure and 36 exposure. 36 cost more, but was slightly cheaper per-picture, however since one only took a few pictures at a time, it would sit in the camera longer. Heck, I took a backpack trip to the UK in 1976 and had to balance what I could afford (color vs. black & white) and what I could carry.

Today you can shoot with abandon and then just download to the PC to create another '4K picture roll'...

The funny thing? With a StackShot and shooting raw+jpg, I find I can easily use 800MB+ per coin. If I wasn't tethered, that 32GB card is only a 36-40 'picture' roll. But I shoot coins tethered and my 7 year old laptop has a 250GB disk drive - since all I have on it is Windows, the Canon software and Helicon, there's a lot of room.

Oh, and if you want to go off the deep end on memory cards, there's always this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00V62XBQQ - Only $240 or just over $1/GB

The 32GB version is $14 with free 2 day Prime shipping. But, you have it in hand TODAY and can work with the camera this weekend and that alone is probably worth the $20...
