Hello i just purchased a Panasonic AVC HMC150 and i cant wait for it to arrive! But i am in the process of looking for 16GB SDHC class 6 cards. I think i found a great deal on ebay for a Kingston 16GB SDHC Class 6 Card, but i noticed the file format says "File Format — SDHC File Format - FAT32 (only for capacities 6GB and above)" Does this mean it wouldnt work with the HMC150 at full HD 24fps? Please Let me know thanks!

You should do a full reformat of the card in the camera before using it anyway. And read around on problems people are having with SD cards. Best not to order from ebay. Get a reliable brand like Sandisk or Patriot. SDHC is such a cheap format, it's not worth saving a few bucks and risking a failed card just when you've finished an hour of shooting. There's a recent thread around here about Patriot's new video-designed SDHC cards.

EDIT: Here's a link to that thread

And here's a link to the thread about SDHC problems people have had. Just take the necessary precautions:

fat32 only means that the max file size is 4gb.
all sd cards are fat32, it is not a problem, do not worry.
the camera splits long shots into separate clips which can be rejoined during log and transfer.

what Galledrim is referring to is the trouble you can get in when buying cheap/low-quality cards that glitch and bug out on you.

the cheapest i've found while still being 100% reliable is this card:

Kingston is a very reliable brand. I have shot with over 100 of their cards and never had a problem.
