Does this camera use memory cards for videos too or just mini cassetts?

It records video to the cassettes and the memory card is for still photos only.

No, had to buy the memory card. I bought a 16gb and I think that was just under 3hrs of video time on the better setting. You will also have to buy 2 cords. One to charge it to your computer. (you can plug the usb port right into the computer, but I felt safer with a cord. Also an HDMI cord to plug into your TV for viewing. We have only use this so far on a ski trip. Found the visual on the screen a little difficult when you're goggled up. Also would recommend setting the anti shake mode! all in all a great little cam corder that fits nicely in your pocket. very user friendly!

I bought a Kingston 32 GB card (http://amzn.to/1PmTjCD) and it works great. At 1080p (highest quality on the cam) in my tests, I found each minute of video eats up roughly 100 MB of storage. So a 32 GB card should hold about 5 hours of footage before it starts to reclaim space.

To further elaborate on Dianna's answer: This camera does not have any built-in memory.Video is recorded onto an inserted miniDV tape, and still shots are stored on a memory stick. One miniDV tape is included with the camcorder.Furthermore, video footage is imported to your computer through the use of a FireWire cable. The still shots can be imported through USB.

The camera comes with both options automatically. In the camera bios you tell it to use the internal memory or the micro sd card ("external"). But you can not (to my knowledge) change from internal to external after the recording. I recommend just go with external and leave it in the camera until that moment you wish you had external. Then you will be glad you did. This is an excellent camera. I have only had mine for sixty days and used it twice for local law enforcement's use. Once for an extreme hazardous driver where the authorities used the video as evidence to revoke his license. The other for a traffic collision where the officer thought another party was at fault until he saw the full HD video. The camera has image stabilization so the videos are smooth. Not sure why the reality television shows are not using them. Much cheaper and in my opinion better video quality than GoPro.

It has an internal memory for a limited amount of pics. We used a memory card, but since the camera flooded and the screen didn't show any pics, it didn't make any difference. I would not recommend this camera, as something happened and we could not see anything as we were taking photos, after just a few dives.

None. There is a small amount of internal memory, but I recommend buying additional. It accepts the microSD cards. I bought a 32gb card with the camera for around $16. Holds plenty of pictures and videos.

I know only that it takes fair-looking video and it comes with the 8 gig memory card. I don't think it takes still pictures. I've never been able to figure that out.

it doesn't come with any memory card, but you probably want to buy a microSD card with it. The camera supports upto 8gb one.

I don't have this unit anymore, however my recollection is that it took mini-dvd's. When I used the camera it was easier to install a memory stick and use that. Good luck.

Hi Alice, The camera can use up to 32GB Micro SD or Micro SDHC cards. I'm using an SDHC in mine, but if you'd like to verify you can find specifications on their website (exelcam dot com). Hope this helps.

The camera does NOT include a memory card. This particular model uses a MICRO SD card. Please make sure you get a MICRO SD card ... these are the little bitty ones used in cell phones.

I have two of these camera but I have no idea how much built in memory they have. They are designed to use the mini dv tapes or onto a memory chip that does not come with the camera. I use the mini dv tapes that I guy from amazon really cheap and they will have 1 hour per tape if you use the regular settings.

If I remember correctly this camera does not have a memory card although you can get packages that include the memory card and all the other gadgets that go with it.

Yes! The cameras built in memory is very small,( mainly used to operate camera functions) I would buy a multi-pak of two or more memory cards of 8-16 mgbs instead of one large one.

Yes it does not come with a memory card. You can take few photos without a card but you can not record a video without it!
