Well, I'd personally rather pay for a cheap 2 gig card with the camera and then buy a better 16 without the markup that you'd get if it was packaged...

They are trying to keep the costs down by only having a single SKU for the product. Good to have an extra card on you when shooting, in case you fill one up, along with an additional battery...

memory card costs fluctuate on an open market, just like stocks do, nearly on a daily basis. So by adding a card to the box the price of the camera becomes inflated versus finding a more competitive price on the card on you own. hope this answers your question

They only have 2 slots for memory, I know you can get 8 gb sticks, I don't know if there are 16 gb stick of memory available

I presume you mean RAM by memory...which you cannot add more. If you want to ad more storage, you could use a usb hub with an flash drive.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

You can slap a microsd card on it for plenty of storage I have a 32 gig microsd card on mine and that handles pretty much everything I would want. Doesn't come with a lot on it out of the box.

It comes with 8 GB of RAM. Not sure if you can upgrade it but for me 8 was enough. I hope that helps.

Yes you can 32gb more with a mini sd card. Though don't expect to much from the memory. It doesn't mean you can have more apps. Just more pics and videos. - former owner

Mine came with 8GB. I recall it has two memory slots and is upgradeable to 16GB.

Mine came with 2 x 2Gb memories, it has two slots so you may buy a 2 x 4Gb kit and replace the actual memories

I added RAM on mine - 2 gig because it only had two slots. Not sure when it maxes out, but that probably would be determined by what sort of chip it is. I'm sure you can research that online.

Yes. 16G, and also a slot for a miniSD (max 32Gb). So you can have a max capacity of 48Gb. Just be aware that you only can install software in the internal memory (free real capacity around 12Gb). The external memory can only be used to store files (pics, videos, downloaded files...).

Do you mean 256MB? If so, there is hardly any capacity there. Why not buy one of the many 32 or 64GB cards you can get just about anywhere for less than $25.

doesn't need one but if you want more memory, micro sd is what you will need to get.

no you don't need more than 8GB, however, if you plan on keeping your computer for 5 years or more, you should consider the 16GB, because every time they add features to a new OS they memory usage becomes more demanding. After 5 years or so 8GB may become insufficient. That's if you like upgrading to the newest OS (operating system) every year, like me. The 16GB option keeps your computer more future friendly. You could always upgrade it later on, but I decided to get the 16GB option to avoid the hassle of having to install additional RAM later on.

Memory can be expanded via micro SD. Memory is fixed to 16GB and RAM is 1GB.

RAM is soldered on the printed circuit board. It is not upgradeable.The device itself would support 4 GB RAM. When there is an order in large quantity it would be possible to deliver the device with 4 GB RAM.

The more sticks in pair, the better it will function. You would want to get 4 sticks of 8gb if you have enough slots. What in the world are you running that needs 32gb of ram? I don't think I've ever used over 8 gb at one time.
