I am a newbie at digital, still use my 35mm. Does this come with a memory card? Do I need one of those?

You need to get an SD memory card for this camera. This is a great camera for anyone who wants near professional quality pics without having to pay the price.

It did not come with its own memory card, they are fairly inexpensive and can be purchased anywhere. I recommed 8GB or higher that way you don't have to clear your card as often and it will hold a lot more video time. I always carry a back up card if you are on vacation or plan to take a lot of pics at one time, also an extra battery or a car charger is a huge bonus.

The camera does not come with a memory card - memory cards are very cheap, however. The camera is easy to operate, just the buttons are pretty small.

this is an excellent choice to start with digital cameras. If you need an SD or Micro SD memory adapter. I recommend you buy an 8GB Class 10. the more capacity the better, and the higher the faster class pass your photos to your computer. Welcome and enjoy your new camera.

You don't get a memory card with it. The only accessories you receive are a lens cap, a neck strap, and a USB cable. I purchased the SanDisk Extreme 16GB SDHC Memory Card for the camera though, and I really like it.

No memory card. The charger works with the battery installed in the camera. Recomendation: Buy a 16 MB high quaility sdhc card (or 2). Buy an aftermarket spare battery (or 2) and a charger preferably that will function on AC and with 12V input. I trust you will find these on Amazon.

You'll need a memory card unless you're buying a special kit that comes with one, it should say under the description.

No these cameras as most others do not come with memory cards, they can easily be purchased right here on Amazon though.

It depends upon the package you purchase. Mine did not come with a memory card. That was not a problem as the SD memory card it takes is very common, and I had several used with an earlier camera. Also, it is best to have more than one card. You may fill up one before being able to transfer them, or one may go bad on you at an inopportune time. As a side note, don't use an SD card with more that 32MB size. I tried using a 64MB card, and got error messages.

Always assume a camera does NOT come with a memory card unless it specifically states that it does. Most cameras (from all manufacturers) have very little built-in memory; perhaps enough for a couple photos just to test out the camera. Memory cards are relatively inexpensive. For cameras that support both SD and SDHC it's probably best to stick with SDHC Class 6 (Class 4 may be OK if on a tight budget, but avoid Class 2). If they support only SD, you want one of the faster SD cards usually rated 50x or 133x or labeled with words like as "ultra" or "elite" or "extreme". Although many cameras aren't even fast enough to fully utilize that speed you don't want the memory card to be the bottleneck, so don't just get the cheapest/slowest one you can find since even the moderately fast ones are pretty low-cost. Also note, for this camera specifically, it says: "Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included)" So any SDHC Class 4 or higher card should probably be fine. Even some of the cheaper brands like Transcend seem to work OK in most of my cameras/devices, although the bigger name brands like Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston, or the HP-branded ones might be slightly better quality in some cases. I think 2GB is plenty for most point and shoot cameras (and many people get by with even smaller ones) but going larger means you can store more photos before needing to transfer them to a computer. Keep in mind that if you have only one card and it gets lost or damaged or stolen before you transfer them to a computer you could lose all your photos. That's why I usually go with the smaller cards and use more than one card if I need to take a ton of photos, or go with an Eye-Fi card that can transfer the photos to a computer or the web wirelessly if you're near a usable Wi-Fi network and leave the camera turned on long enough for them to upload. Those are a little pricey, but available from Amazon, or the eye.fi site, or from Google with an online storage plan ( http://www.eye.fi/google ).

You will need to buy one. My camera (I bought the kit with the basic lens) arrived in the mail today, but I had shopped around for the best deal on the memory card and that won't arrive for another two days, so I can't use it yet.

This camera does not come with a memory card. That said, I have used the camera quite a bit in the last three months and have been very impressed with it. I have a D-SLR and a Cannon S90 point and shoot and the TG does not disappoint.

iT DOESN'T COME WITH MEMORY CARD. I BOUGHT ONE ULTRA PLUS SDHC UHS-I CARD [speed up to 48 MB/s 320 x ] , SanDisk [ could use other one, the EXTREMEPLUS , by ScanDisk ]

No it does not come with a memory card. Every 1 GB of memory equals around 30 minutes of video. So if you want to buy something like this I trully recomand it, for entry level only. Buy a card of 16 GB is more than enough because your battery life, with medium quality batteries, is around 2 hours.

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.

You get no memory card with this, but I would recommend an 8gb or 16gb because it takes real nice hd videos. I actually have 32 gb in my camera.

It doesn't come with a memory card, so yes, you will need to buy one. Very worthwhile for me. After having it. A month or two now I'm up to 1,500 or so photos on my card & everything is going perfectly.

Yes, you need a memory card or stick. I have an SD card (2 GB) in my digital picture frame.

You have to buy one. Another reviewer recommended a higher class card, which we purchased for less than $20 and it worked great and took fantastic pictures.
