is a memory chip different from internal memory &amp; does the chip, if separate, come with the camera, or is it a separate purchase.

Internal memory is built into the camera. Not all digital cameras have any internal memory. Additional memory may be added to some cameras in the form of "chips." But such memory can be in one of several forms. You must check the camera's specifications to determine what type of memory it takes, if any, and how much memory it can use. Whether additional memory comes with the camera is up to the vendor. Typically it does not, but some vendors might include it in a "package."

I believe the camera has a small amount of memory build in. It also has slots for a large and small sized memory card. I bought one of each.

It doesn't come with any memory. You must purchase SD/SDHC/SDXC cards to insert into the camcorder. If you want the same exact camcorder but with internal memory on top of an SD card slot, go with an 8GB hdc-tm55k, or a 16GB hdc-tm60k. It is cheaper to purchase the hdc-sd60 and buy sd cards for it than to buy one with internal memory, but some find internal memory useful.

It did not come with its own memory card, they are fairly inexpensive and can be purchased anywhere. I recommed 8GB or higher that way you don't have to clear your card as often and it will hold a lot more video time. I always carry a back up card if you are on vacation or plan to take a lot of pics at one time, also an extra battery or a car charger is a huge bonus.

No, the camera does not come with a memory card. I ordered the memory card as well as additional batteries (2) used with a plug-in charger. You'll be glad you did!

I have purchased a number of cameras, including DSLRs and point and shoots and I do not recall ever getting a memory card with them. So yes, I would say that is normal, in my experience.

The camera does have some memory-- but I bought a card. You can purchase a cable that can be used to download pics--I just put the SD card in my computer to transfer pics. Would like to get a cable at some point in time......

The camera came with a 8 GB TOPRAM SD HC. I haven't tried to use any other card in it.

No memory card is included. We bought two of them, and have sent one back for repair already. Our kids had used them in the pool, and Nikon recommends that you open up the camera and let it dry afterward. Of course, our kids didn't do this, but the repair was done under warranty for free.

My model came with a memory card, although I had not expected it. I think the card is desirable, so if you do not receive one, I think you will need to purchase one.

When I ordered the camera I ordered the camera, case, and memory card all at once. It came as a package deal. You can buy the card separate though.

I don't believe so - mine died an early death about a year ago but if I remember correctly, it does have some internal memory. Of course, if you are taking it on vacation and planning on taking a lot of pictures, you would probably want to use an SD card (if the camera lasts long enough to have it even be an issue that is)

There is no internal memory.The camera does not work without memory card.You must insert memory card into the camera before using the device.

I have gone through the instructions a couple of times and nowhere do I see how many (if any) pictures the internal memory holds. When I purchased the camera I also purchased an 8 GB Memory card. If you plan on taking this camera on a trip and want to take multiple photos you really should get a memory card.

Most digital cameras come with no memory card. You buy the size you like. Some cameras have a limited amount of internal storage; most do not.

I does have an internal memory but I have never had to rely on it. It comes with a SD card and I have always used that. I love this little camera and the photos come out great.
