For those using the Canon M40 (or 41 or 400), or similar HD camcorders, what SD card(s) are you using? I'm probably going to buy a couple of these, but I wanted to check here first to see if anyone sees a huge benefit to SDXC or a better/faster SDHC card. Thanks in advance!

The camera only requires a good class 4 card...I try to get 6 or 10 but mostly to speed up data transfers to my computer.
So I will go with good branded cards that have good feedback because the last thing you want is 32GB of lost data.
A friend of mine bought a "high" speed card from Ebay and we went to a figure skating show. He was talking pictures and everything was looking fine...when he started checking them, the card was saving the last image taken only!
I tried that same card with my camcorder and it records for a while then just keeps saving the last few seconds of the clip...so make sure to not go to cheapo on the card since it is something you will relay on all the time. :)
No need to break the bank either of course.

I just bought a Canon Vixia HF M40 and I love it so far. This is my first HD camocorder and after many months of looking this seemed like the bang for the buck by far. I was looking into picking up a couple 32G class 10 cards then I found this guy and I think I am going to buy it. Also what are your thoughts on buying some of the cheaper batteries on amazon (non-canon made batteries)?
