You can only use "Sony memory stick pro duo", which is about half the size of standard "memory stick" media with your camcorder. Sony do not guarantee the operation of all types of "memory stick duo" media on your camcorder. When downloading all of your recorded media to your computer's card reader, if it don"t have a slot for inserting your memory stick pro duo, you will need to insert your memory stick pro duo into the Sony "MSAC-M2" adapter, then insert it into the standard memory stick slot of your card reader.

You will need a Sony 4 GB Memory Stick ProDuo. If you buy it here on Amazon it goes for about 13.00.

I use a micro SD card... If you intend to take video you should really get a card at least 16GB.... I used a 32 GB micro card. However I would also get a waterproof pouch if you intend to use it in water. The very first time I put it in water it leaked. It was under warranty so I was sent a new one by Sony. The other issue I had is that in less than a year I could not charge the camera any more because the mechanism holding the battery in does not work now. It does not come with a separate charger so I have no way to use it. Sony wants me to pay for repair however I am opting not to repair it and instead intend to purchase another camera.

I bought more memory.. it has to be a SONY Memory Stick PRO Duo.. very inexpensive here! Considering the SONY lens.. [ not the 'Carl Zeiss' ] - this camera is a great value!

I put a two gig memory card in mine. It was kinda on accident. I bought I 1 gig on ebay and they accientally sent me a 2 gig. So I decide to try it. It works great and have no probs yet.

I used a memory card, but it was only 32GB SD. I would guess that card would be ok, but I don't know for sure.I think you will be disappointed in this camera as the included software is poor, and streaming doesn't work.

You are wasting your money... Your camera can do video to the best of its own ability with just the Sandisk Ultra SDHC cards. That's what I use.

Yes. Nice that you can control the amount of memory your camcorder has! Also great for loading from the card to computer, or if you have more than one card on hand, you have additional memory. This is a GREAT camcorder. I am extremely impressed with its performance!

yes. the camcorder doesn´t include the memory. you have to purchase separately. It use micro SD.

Which memory card would work best all around in the canon sx260, a sandisk card rated 6 or a faster rated 10? Some have suggest either would do fine for still pictures while others suggested that a 10 rated card would be better for HD video. But is there a big difference in performance in this camera between the two?

Very informative, Matthijs. I was wondering why the card from my new camera was not getting recognized. Old was SD New was SDHC. My version is 20-90-00136. Guess I will go to Sandisk to see if I can update the firmware. EDIT: Well, I just checked. Looks like I am SOL! I guess a new card reader is in the cards.

I paid $30 for a Sandisk 8GB card, and when I tried to take a video, after one minute, it shut down and said that the card doesn;t write fast enough. Is this a defect of the camera or the card. In any case, I feel burned by this and feel like sending the camera back to Amazon.

I don't know if any SD card is so much better than another, but any name brand SD HC card works. I happen to like SanDisk myself. I use an 8gb currently but I know up to 64gb are available. To give you an idea of time, at 1080P (HD) video setting, I use approx 100mb per minute of filming, so 1gb is ~ten minutes: 8gb card should get about 70+ minutes (as an 8 gb card formatted is around 7.3gb usable)

I too noticed that with the camera's internal memory, but not with my 2GB stick.btw, look at this product:Iogear USB 2.0 MEMORY CARD RW ( GFR202MSD )in amazon, it is a pen drive which holds the memory stick inside it. Very cool and cheap, I'll be buying one.Oh, also, I was a bit disappointed with the video quality the first 2 days, then I noticed the default is "medium" quality, once I changed it to "high" quality, I decided THIS IS THE ONLY CAMCORDER I NEED.

I am considering CX150 or CX110. Is there any difference between those two except 16GB internal memory in CX150? I have been researching camcorder for more than week and can't decide. Now boils down to one of these two - no reasons...just due to Sony brand. I know there better rated panasonic and canon out there in the similar price range...any comments???

Hi SIMON, this Sony HDRCX130 camcorder doesn't have an internal memory. You needed to have a memory card for storing videos and images. -Ely

What class memory card did you get? The owner's manual states you should use class 6 SDHC cards for HD video. You may be able to use class 4 cards, but there's very little price difference. So get a class 6 card and be done with it. The camera rocks, so take the card back, not the camera. Oh, and set video to AVCHD, not MPEG.

Stick to brand name SD cards. You can use those in lots of other devices too.Memory sticks are a Sony proprietary device so are less interchangeable. I tend to stay with established standards, and unless another design offers compelling new features I see no reason to use it.
