[dang]

Checkout our latest review of the Panasonic HDC-SX5 (http://reviews.digitaltrends.com/review4749.html)The new Panasonic 3-CCD HDR-SX5 is a hybrid in that it records HD to SD memory cards or 3-inch blank DVDs.

The review states:
"SD card slot is right next to it (it’ll hold 8GB maximum)."

Why is there an 8GB maximum? If I have a 16GB SD card, I can't use it with this? They are all of the same size, so why should there be a size limitation? Can you please confirm this?

I asked David (the reviewer) to answer the question. He said it was 8GB at the time of the review, but that he would ask Panasonic if that has changed.

I know on my Panasonic FX8 camera I can't get a card over 2GB to work in it for some reason. Might need a firmware update.

Thanks for the quick reply! I hope there is no hard limit on this, because an year from now, we will see 32 or 64GB SD cards at very affordable prices and it would be very disappointing if we can't make use of them. If/when you have any more info on this, please reply. Thanks!
