John,thanks,now like I said I'm 66 a rancher and this is my first camera ever,what brand card is preferred or a good one at least and what size,I'm clueless.Most of the stuff I get is off of ebay because I'm so far out in the middle of no where,thanks again.

I've had good luck with the SanDisk, Sony, Transcend and Lexar brands of SD cards. That's not to say that other brands wouldn't work, but the ones I've recommended are known for their reliability.

Thank you both,will order the cards and go from there,this forum deal is really neat,my first go at one,I'm not a tech person at all,just an old man with a ranch and alot of time on his hands,thought maybe I would learn to take some wildlife photos,thanks again.

It sounds like your in a really good setting to take wildlife pictures and now you have an excellent camera to do that with.

There are lots of helpful folks on here to help you with any questions you may have...none are to silly so dont hesitate.

Its a powerful camera do not let it overwhelm you. There are some good video lessons on you tube for that camera too that really help to cut through the technical stuff.

Your welcome !

One more question,I looked on the website about "formatiing" the new memory card when it comes,understood all of it except how to find the "format" heading,will it be in the menu? If not I'm lost,thanks to you both.
