Yes it takes standard play minidv tapes and allows for an sd card to save photos and camera settings.

It uses minidv tapes. The picture shows a hard drive attachment that will record direct to disk. But it is pretty expensive. It can shoot HDV, DVCAM, and DV to miniDV tape.

No memory card included, just the camera. I don't have the camera anymore but I think it has small amount of internal memory too.

It comes with a 4GB micro SD card. I up graded to a 32GB card that gives me about 28 hours of record time before it rewrites over the old data.

Is there any way to record directly to the card and bypass the internal memory?? thanks

there is no internal memory, and you will have to purchase the card separately, there are many reviews of the sony and following address is one of them, their review is quite accurate, http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-tx30

No internal memory. It requires always an SD card...at 32gb it will last about 6 hours before looping.

I don't remember, but I ended up throwing it away shortly after I used it because it "eat" one of my tapes.

Your videos will go on the mini dv tape only. Memory card is for pictures only.

This camera uses SD or SDHC memory cards. The memory card is not included, but it does come with enough internal memory to store a few photos.

It has internal memory but not enough to be useful, I can't remember the amount. No charger, the battery charges inside the camera.

Yes it does. my suggestion is, based on your needs choose the correct memory card with out over spending or under storage! Very happy with the unit.

It uses SD cards, NOT the miniDV tapes. Much Better!!! Linear editing systems like Final Cut won't work with the tapes anymore. I highly recommend this camera. Enjoy!

No, there is no internal memory on this camera. It needs to be connected to a DVR or a computer with a DVR CARD. It works just like a regular surveillance camera.

Its internal memory but you have an empty sd card slot for an sd card if you want extra memory

There is no internal memory. So it depends on the size of the memory card that you use.
