Stupid digital camera question

How do I know what kind of SD card this thing takes? My niece gave me her old HP Photosmart 320. It came with a 16MB card, I want more. However, I see there are different classes of them (2, 4, and 6), and the one in there doesn't tell me what it is. Does it even matter? My head is spinning after way too much quality time with Google searches trying to figure this out. :banghead Anyone have a clue?

 

Firstly try and find the specific Serial No.

Here are the specs:

Then enter the specific serial numbers here:

Hope this helps.

 

Had the same problem with my Photosmart M525.
Went to the camera section of Wal-Mart and showed the clerk what I wanted.
Tookme to the shelves and only difference was the name and size.
Got a SanDisk 2GB for about $11. +tax. Good for better than 1900 pictures or 1 1/2 hours video.

 

For what I see that one uses a SD Card and I suppose HD, so SDHD card if you are going to buy one more than 2GB, you can use too a Micro-SDHD card with an adaptor.

 

Well, shoot. According to the HP product finder, I can't get one. Maybe I'll try my luck taking it to the store. Thanks, guys!

 

Straight from the user's manual "Secure digital (SD) memory card (128 MB is the maximum usable card size)".


Although it might just say that's the max size because that was the biggest size made at the time.. BUT, it may not be compatible with SDHC cards (high capacity). I believe the largest standard SD cards produced were 4GB, anything larger would be SDHC.



"Class" mainly just refers to the speed of the card, and they should be backwards compatible. So even if the camera isn't capable of reading or writing at class 5 speeds, the card should still work.

 

Well, shoot. Now I don't know what to do. Conflicting answers leave me exactly where I was when I started...banging my head against a wall.

Guess it's off to the actual camera shop next week. I'd really rather have 2GB, but Amazon's got 256MB for ten bucks new. :confused

 

Sadly, the 320 line, like my 525, has been discontinued.
Got my 525 (new) from eBay for about $45. 2GB card was about $11. Cards for mine went up to 8GB and was priced at less than $25.

Using a borrowed card to try is a very good idea.
Surprised that wasn't mentioned earlier.

 

So...just in case anyone cares how this came out. NO actual physical store carries an SD card that will work in it. 256MB is the largest it will take, which are available only through places like Amazon because they had stock left. SanDisk isn't even making them any more.

I ended up buying a $50 Vivitar something-or-other camera with a 2GB SanDisk card, because by the time I got this figured out it was actually cheaper than ordering from Amazon and paying next-day shipping to get it here before the weekend (I get on a plane Monday morning).

Thanks for trying!
