I am not computer literate so I don't understand about the memory card. Can I buy just the camera and take photos and put them in my computer or do I need to buy a memory card

Yes, you need to buy a memory card. The digital images are stored on the card.

It doesn't have an internal memory, no dig camera has as far as I know, so you need to use a card then transfer them to your PC, after that you can reformat the card and keep using it.

What is the largest capacity SDXC card you can use with this camera? Will a 128GB work on this model?

The memory card is the "film" portion of your camera, so no you can't take pictures without a memory card. The nice thing about a memory card is that it is erasable if you like so it can be reused. The pictures can be downloaded from your camera with the available cord or from the memory card directly.

Yes you have to buy a memory card for this camera. It does not come with one.

If you really want to use the camera I would suggest buying a card. They are not expensive, as a matter of fact I always keep an extra card or two handy just in case. The alternative is returning and waiting for them to resend. :)

You just need to purchase an SD memory card. A carrying or protective case, extra battery (it comes with a battery already) or tripod for this camera are optional.

Chris, You do need a memory card for the camera. Without the card and taking pictures at a high resolution having "out of memory" show up is about right. I would recommend getting about an 8 Gig card.

Would love to help but not sure I understand. What do you mean "don't know what to do with the reader"? I'll try a basic answer in case you've never used a reader before. The reader allows you to transfer the photos from the camera card to a laptop computer. If you pop off the clear plastic end, it will expose a USB drive that you can plug into a typical laptop. Most laptops have a USB port on the sides or back. Put it in with the big SanDisk wording face up. The card then slips in the slit on the other end. Also put it in face up, with the end that has the angle on one corner inward. On your laptop, navigate to My Computer and you should see it appear. Click on it, then DCIM, then you should see a folder or folders with you pictures. You can then copy them to any folder you want on your computer. My apologies if this wastoo basic, but if it doesn't answer the question, clarify, and I'll try again.

You still have to purchase and put the memory card inside the camera so you can have greater storage capacity. SD cards can also be purchased on Amazon for very reasonable prices. 25 mb is very little memory. The SD card is required for all digital cameras just about.

No memory card is required. This camera has 128 MB internal memory which stores up to 1000 photos. The photos can be downloaded to a computer by connecting it to the computer with a mini USB cable which does not come with the camera.

you can either take the memory card out and download it onto your computer or you can hook your camera to your computer and download it from there

The more the memory, the more photos you can take on one card and the less frequently you have to buy new cards.Just make sure to frequently transfer your photos to your computer -- just in case, god forbid, you lose the camera.

The camera comes with a battery, charger and software. It does not come with any memory so you will need to purchase an SD memory card in order to use it. It is less expensive than buying the camera with internal memory though. You can get a lot more memory for the money with the separate memory card.

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 ).

There is a little built-in memory, so you can take a few pics without an SD Card. Your computer treats the camera like an external flash drive, so you can use windows explorer to find, view and download them where ever you wish.

As I recall, and it's been a while, you get the camera. You have to buy the card separately.

I use the SD slot on my computer for the card, although you can buy a reader if that isn't an option. The camera can also be plugged into the computer, but honestly I've never done it because we use the camera for paranormal investigation and a YouTube show so we have multiple cards we rotate when we work with it. We are currently using 16 Gig and 32 Gig cards.

definitely need to purchase a memory card. Size will depend on how many photos you want to keep on your camera at one time without downloading. Without a memory card, the camera only holds 4 pictures.

You need to buy a memory card for the storage that comes with the camcorder is adequate if you want to shoot more than a few minutes of video. A battery is optional and is only necessary if you want a spare.

No memory card came with this camera and it is a xD picture card not compatible with a regular SD meory card and the memory card size is very limited (I just got one with 2G size, you might get a 16G SD memory with the same price, over all I do not recommand you to buy this kind of camera)
