Yes. I have an 8GB sd card which will allow about an hour and 20 minutes of video and about 2000 picture files. So 4GB is no problem As for transfer / upload to computer, I have no problem transferring to my desktop this way as well. A little tricky at first - it won't pop a window up automatically and tell you what you can do. You have to go to "My Computer" and right-click the icon on your E drive or whichever drive the camera connects to using the USB cord and port. You should be able to figure it out from there. Hope this helps, and have fun! Just a word to the wise: When recording video with this camera, audio distortion can happen if the sound (say, a music band) is very loud. This happened at a recent concert I attended. So stay back a bit from speakers and use your zoom for closeups.

Yes. It comes with a cord to connect to a computer or you can put the SD card into your computer. It does not come with an SD card though so make sure you purchase one or the camera will not store any pictures.

Yes, yes, no to SD card, the camera has some internal memory. You shouldn't need the installation disc. Your computer will just say installing new hardware, when you plug in the USB.

Absolutely Robert. I do have this camera now, using the usb cord takes forever, just pick up a card reader. Much faster.

I have a JVC and use SDHC 32GB cards the camera has two slots. This gives me lots of time even shooting RAW and can be down loaded from the Camera or removing and using a PC Slot. from experiance use the Camera to Reformat after you down load so you can ensure full use of the memory card.

Do not listen to D. Fox, the first 3 answers are correct on what you want to do. You do NOT need the USB cable which goes from your camera to your USB port in the computer. Just plug your memory card into the card reader and then plug the card reader into your USB port, and you are ready to download your pictures into your computer.You can use a USB cable but that will defeat the purpose of the card reader.

you can download all your pictures and videos from the mini camera by the USB cable from the mini camera to your computer. it's very easy but make sure you contacted good. Good luck

For something like a camera's memory card, no, not that I see. But couldn't you do that by connecting the camera to the computer via USB and transferring pics from camera to computer? Or if you wanted to go the other way, put a memory stick into the laptop to store pics on the memory stick (cruzer/flashdrive).**I stand corrected now that I see the answer given 2 below. Thank you for pointing this out, I totally missed it James. I apologize Dina, for any confusion created by my initial response.

Yes a USB cord is included. But, the memory card is NOT INCLUDED. You can only take one (1) photograph with the camera. You absolutely need to purchase a memory card. I found this out the hard way =( Other then the zero internal memory, the camera works great. My teenage daughter loves it.

As long as the camera had a SD card you can vew it. You can plug it into your computer put the SD card in it and down load it on your computer. We love it. You can even delete pictures from your SD card on it.

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.

I could not get this thing to owrk - I brought an additional SD video card - still does not work right - I used the memory in the camera - and yes - it works well - with that - but the memory feels up really fast - so - its a bust for me - I was thinking about returning it - but - I knew they would kill me - so I decided to keep it. Honestly I dont even use it - its in th closet collecting dust. hope this helps.

No, it doesn't come with the USB Cord. Last Saturday, I bought me the Canon PowerShot ELPH 115 IS Camera from Best Buy. The items included with the camera was the Ion Battery, Battery Charger, and the Wrist Strap. No USB Cord was included. You have to buy a SD Memory Card (probably 16GB would be the best) to take pictures and record videos. Once your pictures is stored on the Memory Card, you'll be able to transfer your pictures to your computer. That's what I have a 16GB SD Memory Card. Hope I was a good help to you.

Very easy, you can either take the memory card and stick it into your computer to copy files, or you can connect the camera to your computer through the USB cable that comes with the camera.

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......

Yes you can download to your computer with a USB cable. You need a card reader that connects to your computer. Pretty easy to find that at the store where you bought the camera or online.

There is a secure digital slot for removeable memory.I record to that removeable card and copy what ever I recorded to my computer.The other way is to use the provided cable to link up the whole camera to a computer.The sd card is by far the quickest and easiest.....
