it's a toss up. Probably not though. It only takes SD level up to 2GB. But a firmware update may help to go to 4GB.

But allow me to make an pitch for using several cards, rather than one large one. Reason being, insurance. Any memory card can fail or become corrupted. And when you're on vacation the last thing you want is to lose the opportunity to take pictures until you can recover that media card with a software utility. If your card goes bad, swapping another one for it at that moment is of advantage so you can keep taking pics. Then, later when you're in front of your PC, you can use a utility like "F-Recovery" to get back your pictures and recover your card.

No need to lose the moment because you relied on one card one when several can solve that problem. At the very least, you want to get more than one of whatever size you settle on.

One last thing. Cards have different speeds. The faster a card is, the quicker it'll save the photo and cycle to be ready for another shot. In the end, your camera is only going to be as fast as it's slowest link in the chain. So check for speed when you purchase a card.

It does support the 4GB card just fine, but I am having a problem with it accepting the 8GB card that I just bought...and the 8GB card is not the problem as it works in the other camera I have which is an older Canon Elph----My SD 600 takes all the other cards just fine----all cards are formated and empty? Any suggestions, thanks !!

Well, Ed, all I can tell you is that according to the specs, it can't accept SDHC memory cards. 8GB is high capacity. My suggestion is that you contact Canon tech support to see if there's a firmware update to address it.
