When taking shots in bright sunshine the subjects in the shade are very dark.
Is there a recommended memory card for the G15?
Thank you.

This is a dynamic range problem. Have you tried fill flash?

Tried your suggestion late afternoon yesterday. Worked well when subject close but not on long scenic shots. Thanks for your input.

Fill flash is great in sunny shots. Your range is not that far though. Like 12-15 feet is about it probably.
Your other her choice is to use a couple of stops of +exposure compensation. It will blow out the sunny areas but your subjects will be brighter. Or you can spot meter with the spot over the subject, or you can do exposure lock in the center then recompose and shoot.

Use a Class 10 SD card, 4 GB to 32 GB, and it should work well

Not pertaining to just the G15 but in general avoid taking pictures in "bright sunshine" - bright harsh sunlight like during midday, the quality of light just isn't good enough for this very reason. Early morning and late afternoon shots are usually much better for just about any subject, especially for sceneries. If you must, find a shady yet well reflected area to take pictures in.
