Do I need to purchase a memory card?

not sure I understand ? Out of the box new purchase probaly won't have an SD card. Cards have become prolific and cheap, so its never been better for the consumer. An opinion, if I may offer one, is to buy name brand cards and look for the highest rated burst/memory index. My K5 and K5 II work flawlessly with SD 10 rated specs. Depending on your photographic use, a fast card will always be ready to capture a shot. There is nothing worse than discovering a missed opportunity. As for capacity, its a personal choice. I use 16 Gig cards because I have option open to me if a situation presents itself. I can shoot full RAW, or quickly dial down so as not to create huge files which will fill up a hard drive incredibly fast. My brother , recently retired as the President of Pentax, suggest using 8 gig cards, since cards do crash for any number of reasons. Better to have fewer lost images on an 8 than everything lost on a 16. AND speaking of memory, it is highly recommended that you get a 1T ( one terabyte ) portable USB external drive.

Definitely. Also, good to get an extra one or two, keep them with you. Especially if you shoot video, which can use a lot of memory, you might want fairly large capacity cards.

Yes. Recommend a 32GB class 10 card but lower capacity cards will be fine too.

You will need to purchase a memory card if it is not included as part of a package offering. Look at the description closely to see if it is included as sometimes it can be part of a bundlw which includes the memory card and case...

It does not require a memory card. I'm not sure if it has a drive to insert a memory card, but it has more internal memory than we've used so far.

I have not used a memory card since I have a 32gb model. Take pictures and store them in the cloud.

Yes, yes, no to SD card, the camera has some internal memory. You shouldn't need the installation disc. Your computer will just say installing new hardware, when you plug in the USB.

Sony does not provide a memory card with this camera. It will need to be purchased separately.

Nope. Usually you don't get them with cameras, unless the seller has a special offer. Buy a good (class 10) 4gb card, they are not expensive!

Yes you have to use a memory card. The camera only has space for about 3 or 4 pictures.

Yes, you need an SD card. It is very important. I highly reccommend 8G or bigger. The camera does NOT come with it. It's sold seperately.

Yes... gone are the days when a memory card was included. However, this does mean you can choose exactly what you want/need instead of having something that doesn't meet your needs floating around too. Amazon has a great selection so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a good one.
