Hi Ana,

Several sources around the internet seem to confirm that the SD400 works fine with 2gb cards. Canon doesn't generally offer upper-limit specs on what memory card capacities its cameras support, so you have to look to user reports or data from the memory card manufacturers. Here's a page at Lexar's site that says the SD400 works just fine with their 2gb card, and here's a message board thread where users talk about the benefits (or lack thereof) of using higher speed SD cards with the SD400 (apparently, the normal speed ones perform just as well with this camera as the high speed ones do).

Hope this helps!

Thank you, Ken. I am an amateur photographer and when I travel I like to take lots of pictures. I am considering the larger capacity memory card to avoid the event that the memory card is full and I don't have the access to download the photos before returning home. At present my card is 512. Just wanted to be sure before buying the upgrade. You have been most helpful.

No problem, Ana. Glad to help. :)

One thing I'd suggest is to get two 1gb cards rather than the single 2gb card. It's nice to have a backup in case you lose one, or leave your primary card at home by accident.

Good luck!

You could also get a 2GB Ultra ll card for taking videos. I find the camera shoots better than expected video quality although it's not a camcorder.

I agree 1000% DYL, this camera does shoot much better than expected video! I just got back from the Re-enactment of the Battle on the Lexington Green for Patriots day and the video came out pretty good!
