Canon 70D max supported SD card size

Photography Asked on January 18, 2021

I’ve just went through the Canon 70D manual and couldn’t find any reference regarding the supported SD card sizes.

Is there a max supported size limit for the 70D?

I want to purchase a 256GB card and wonder if the camera will be able to handle that card size.
I couldn’t find any references online regarding the 70D that card size.

One Answer

I just took a very quick look at the manaul online, and right there on page 3, it says:

Compatible Cards

The camera can use the following cards regardless of capacity:

  • SD memory cards
  • SDHC memory cards*
  • SDXC memory cards*

*UHS-I cards supported.

I would advise having a read through the Wikipedia article on SD cards. Card capacities are not the main factor in determining compatibility. SD cards have gone through a number of generations – SD (SDSC), SDHC, SDXC, SDUC – and newer generations are not necessarily backwards-compatible. There are also different bus interfaces – Default Speed, High Speed, UHS-I, UHS-II, UHS-III, SD Express.

There is additionally this relevant FAQ on the Canon website:
What Memory Cards can be used with the camera? (EOS 70D)

If the card you are considering fulfils the compatibility criteria that Canon mentions, then I see no reason why you should continue to assume incompatibility.
