The camera comes with a memory card. But it's a very small capacity. It can probably hold a dozen pictures or less if you select the high quality modes. The type of card you want to get for this camera is called SDHC. The size is up to you. I think 1GB can hold up to 200 pictures in high quality mode. But I would suggest getting a 4GB card. It's a better value if you do the price/GB math.

I just realized that a memory card doesn't come with this camera. What a bummer. My camera is on its way to me and I have to go out and buy a memory card before I can use it??? This has never happened before, and I've had four or five previous digital cameras. Is Canon getting stingy?

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

I've used 32gb cards without issue. I did have an issue with a 64gb card though, but I am not sure if it was the card or the camera.

Camera has limited internal memory. Memory card is probably very useful. Charger in stand alone andremove battery from camera and place in charger,

We bought an 8GB memory card for the camera when we first got it (better safe than sorry). The camera is used extensively by my daughter and she hasn't run out of memory yet. Always etter to bring a memory card along! The camera, by the way, is taking excellent photos and has handled a few dips in the Atlantic Ocean with flying colors.

Any 8gb sd card will do. I can include one with the camera for no extra charge. Thank you

I had to purchase one when I bought the camera. If these are sold with one included they are usually on the lower end of storage so you would probably want to look to upgrade to a higher capacity card.

Any will work. SDHC and SDXC. Depending on the amount of video and High Def pictures you will be taking will determine the size of the SD card you purchase. I purchased a 64Gb SDXC card and found that more than enough for my use

Not an expert in this area. This is my husband's camera, and we just got an 8GB card because it was on sale.

Your camera could use either internal memory or an sd card; however, if you insert the sd card into the camera, that is the one it would use. Also your internal memory should not be full. I would check with the company where it was purchased.

The particular camera I bough didn't come with a memory card but you can get them on Amazon for really reasonable price. I think I use a 16 or 32 GB so I never have to worry about having a full card, especially b/c the camera shoots video.

Hi, Anne--I don't have the privilege of owning such a fine camera as the C-4040, but the memory card you need is a 16MB Olympus SmartMedia memory card, available at Amazon, e-bay, and hopefully Olympus, too! Hope this helps.--"Juanito"

Dear Brian: yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let the customer/consumer pick up one of their own. hope this helps! love, joyce

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