I am not sure whether you are referring to how long the batteries last or how much memory it has. Regarding the batteries, it depends on the batteries you have. The battery that comes with the camcorder lasts about 90 minutes. And that depends on how much you use the zoom or how long you have it on without actually recording. Using the zoom alot uses more battery. You can buy larger batteries on Amazon or at places like Best Buy that will last longer. You can buy batteries that will last as long 5 hours of record time or more. You can get batteries easily for under $50 (some as low as $15) on sale. But be careful, I bought a larger battery at a discount from an online dealer and had to have it replaced by them. I now have a battery that last almost 7 hours that I bought for $49. With regard to how much video you can record in the memory, that depends on the size SD chip you buy. I have a 32GB chip and it will hold about 8 hours of video recordings. I got that memory chip on sale for $20. And you can pop the SD chips in and out very quickly. So, the memory is virtually unlimited. Also, remember that how much you can record on an SD chip depends on whether you are recording in HD or not. The amount I am quoting is not at the highest definition but I find it to be plenty good for home videos. But in both cases, battery time or memory, it depends on what you have purchased. I have extra batteries and extra SD chips and they are both very small and light. I hope that helps.

Charger plug & cord come with it. The end that plugs into the camera is specific to the camera, not a standard mini usb, but the cord can be plugged into a regular USB charger. It does not come with a memory card. I love my camera, its been through many backpacking trips and snorkeling in the ocean several times. I've dropped it a dozen times and it's really tough. My only recommendation is to get a different wrist strap, one that you can sinch down to fit your wrist. The one that comes with it is open with no adjustment.

Stephanie, I purchased a extra, extended use "Vivitar Battery kit VIV-CB-727". Can be found on Amazon for less than 20 bucks, and includes a charger, and cig. adapter plug for the car. Well worth the money, and I have never used up all the power. I keep the original, small Canon battery charged as a backup. As far as the dual slots! If your talking about SD slots in the camera, it only has one, but the camera also has a Hard drive to store video if the SD card gets filled. Again. I never had a problem. I keep my stuff stored right on the SD cards, in case the computer crashes. I always carry, and only use "Sandisk 8GB Extreme PRO" SD cards. You can go larger GB, if you want to store more video on each card. I always have 2 or three cards ready to go. The SD cards can be found on Amazon as well, and for better prices than feeBay... Hope this helps you out. Jack

It comes with a battery charger and a USB cable. The câmera has a small internal memory, then you need to buy a memory card. Amazon offers SD Memory cards from various good manufacturers.

As these are all used cameras now it depends on what the seller provides. I bought mine with a battery and charger, but had to purchase a memory card separately.

It does NOT come with a memory card. However, it has a small amount of internal memory...enough for about 5 photos depending upon size.It does NOT come with a battery charger. It comes with a cable with which to charge the battery in the camera. I purchased a charger with two spare batteries through Amazon for under $20. I think you will need more than one battery if you will be on day long shooting trips. It did come with a CD with a Nikon organizing and editing program which I do not use since I use Photoshop Elements.It came with a quick-start manual, but I had to go online to get the full manual.

well i'm sure you've already bought it .. but this is what you get and you might wanna get these extras: what you get: camera, rechargeable battery and charger, remote control, AV/usb wire, sun hood (not sure what it's called but it's an attachment to the camera that blocks out sun's direct light). what you'll wanna get: - memory stick (2 gigs is nice, gives you a lot of video clips and lots of pictures on 1 card) - camera case; i ended up buying one from circuit city for about $25 - tripod - memory stick reader - it's a lot easier to use the reader than plugging the camera in

I can't believe this website doesn't provide a "what's in the box" section - I can't find it either! Yes, it comes with a battery, but the AC power unit does not always charge the battery - check the manual, but I think it either only charges when the camera is turned off, or maybe doesn't charge it at all. In any case, a couple spare batteries (with a wall charger) are a must for this camera.I believe it comes with component output cords but it has an HDMI port, which is the most useful for getting video out of it.

Camera, batter, charger, guide but NO memory card and it will not take a picture unless you buy the separate memory card. It does not say that anywhere in the description of this camera??

Cape Codder, Wong Chun or anyone else-I just ordered a 120 min. Flip Ultra and I am very excited! This will be my first camcorder, and I am really looking forward to using this.I do have a question for either one of you or anyone else. I did read a comment where this product isn't really meant for concerts. I am going to a Sonic Youth concert next month and do plan on using this there. Is it at least an alright camcorder to use at a concert ? I plan on at least recording a few songs, and Yes it may be dark, but regardless if it is good for concerts or not, I am happy I ordered this.

At least as originally delivered by Sony, I am sure that everything you mention came with my HX10V. I LOVE the pictures, options, and films. I just bought two 32gig SD cards for an upcoming trip to China, and they both work great! Their local cost was $13 each, US. So I wouldn't worry about an SD card. I also have some memory sticks, 2g and 4g, but I never use them. They do work, however, with the camera. I actually bought microSD so that I could also use them in my Samsung tablet, and I can now film on the Sony, eject, and view on the tablet without any duplication or transfer. Perhaps too much detail - I am in video production for broadcast and can easily get lost in the technical weeds.

Yes, you want to get a card. Mine came with a Sony 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo. The setting I have it on is the 16:9 which gives me 4,535 photo's and 4:12:16 hours in video.

Does this camera come with a memory card? Also how do you recharge the battery? what kind of batteries do the camera take? I need it for my job so I will be taking 200 to 300 pictures a day.

I would get a good SD card for video high quality. I found the charger cord for the battery very cumbersome so I bought a plug in charger, small you slip the battery in and very easy and when charged back to the video camera. I also bought a case much easier to carry and hold all you need

The one that I received as a gift came with a USB cable and a wall charger unit that the cable can plug into. I purchased a 32 GB memory card. There was a 4 GB card, but I think my husband put that in before he gave it to me. The first time I plugged it into my computer to download pictures, it used existing software to download so I didn't have to install another program. I already had a tripod that it attached to (there is a hole for a tripod screw to fit into). If there is something specific that you're looking for, ask me. I may have forgotten something. I got this camera about 4 years ago and I LOVE it! The one that I received as a gift came with a USB cable and a wall charger unit that the cable can plug into. I purchased a 32 GB memory card.

As long as you shoot the still shots, it would last for a few days to several days on the casual usage. I would rather use 2GB or so memory stick. Also, you can replace the battery with the longer life type. If you use the darker scenes, it would consume battery a little faster. The last trip to Japan for 2 weeks, I had to recharge only once shooting 800 or so still pictures.
