Yes sir it does have a sound with a good quality too. its as good as a regular camera smaller size easier to start and you can adjust the quality however you wanted it through the software that you download for it. it doesn't come with a sd card you have to buy that. I tried to charge it with an Iphone charger and a regular usb device wall charger . it charge fast with a charge level light indicator . like I put in the review , its a good deal for the price and I enjoy using it everyday out here.Regards,

Yes the camera does record sound. It is intended as a sports camera so the default has the sound record gain set low to help suppress wind noise but it is adjustable so you could crank the gain up if wind is not a factor. No memory card, I picked up a 16GB card at a low price and it gives plenty of record time. Most likely the 120 volt USB charge adaptor would work; however, I do not have one and have not tried it. Be aware that the camera can not change modes on the fly - requires hooking up to computer and using the supplied software to change from 720p to 1080p or video to stills for example. Hope this helps. Yes the camera does record sound.

It does not come with a memory card--you can get one at Best Buy for a decent price or order one from Amazon. It comes with a wall plug where the USB end of the cord can be inserted. I usually just plug mine into the computer to charge. This is a great camera as are most Nikons. This is my third one over the past 15 years. Wouldn't choose anything else. My only reason for wanting a new one was for the anti-shake feature. My old Coolpix is still working just fine and I use it on a tripod so I don't have a shake problem.

It does NOT come with a memory card. However, it has a small amount of internal memory...enough for about 5 photos depending upon size. It does NOT come with a battery charger. It comes with a cable with which to charge the battery in the camera. I purchased a charger with two spare batteries through Amazon for under $20. I think you will need more than one battery if you will be on day long shooting trips. It did come with a CD with a Nikon organizing and editing program which I do not use since I use Photoshop Elements. It came with a quick-start manual, but I had to go online to get the full manual.

Barbara, unless someone else answers this question before I get home, I'll pull it out and see, but I certainly don't remember having to do anything. I have several camcorders, and I remember that one did not play sound back through the camcorder but did when moving it to DVD, etc., but don't remember if it was this one. I'll update when I get home. Just wanted to let you know that someone was checking into this for you! Edit: My wife tells me we no longer have this camcorder (we originally purchased it in 2007!) Sorry I couldn't help!

If you have a memory card with an audio file on it, like a Possibly Awkward or Jay Z song, you can put it in this guy and have it play over the speakers! They work quite well for such little guys. But this camera/clock is designed to record maximum video footage length, and to do so, they removed the 'record video with audio' option. That's all it means, that it records video without audio. I hope this helped! Have a wonderful day!

Yes it does have sound and when i play back a video, the sound isn't very loud. On the back of the camera, there is little icons on the right side of the screen. The first one is a garbage can, where you can delete pictures. Press the second button below the garbage can and a screen will come up with Date & Time. Scroll down to the bottom and it will say " Camera Sounds " Press OK and then you can set your camera for whatever volume you want. I hope this helps you out.

This actually just plugs right into your laptop like a USB. The only thing that I was unaware of was the CAM didn't pick up sound it's just a WEBCAM. But my other laptop it worked just fine on but it was pointless because that already had a built on CAM.

Only video, and not very well. I ended up returning mine due to inconsistent recording. I had bought this for a family situation and though the "event" occurred, when I checked to see that we had gotten it on video, all I had was 5 sec. of me plugging it in and then nothing. I would try another brand.

it comes with a "micro USB cable" which allows you to charge camera by hooking into a USB port.. there is also an AC adapter that let's you plug the micro USB cable into an electric socket to charge. Memory card is "sold seperately". It takes an SDHC memory card that is not included with the camera. I had a micro SDHC card with an SDHC adapter that I put in my camera. I love this camera. The pictures it takes are absolutely incredible for a point & shoot camera. It comes highly recommended!

Yes sound recording does work and the remote device works great. It does work with the power cord and both the camera and remote are rechargeable. The remote has battery factory installed so you don't need to remove the battery. Just plug the adapter into it and charge it for about 8 hrs. The same goes for the camera but you can remove the battery . The camera battery resembles a cellphone battery. Make sure you charge the camera's battery for about 8 hrs the first time. I have set my camera up on motion detect and let it go for about 12 hrs and it still could have ran for a few more . Make sure you read the instructions very well so you don't have any difficulties. Have fun ! I bought about 6 of these cameras and love using them.

My unit was standard USB. If you decide to purchase you may want to get them to confirm. They are good at responding to questions. My (first) unit stopped working after about 4-5 hours. They agreed to ship a replacement unit - it has not arrived yet. While it worked - it was very impressive. Taking a car trip in Europe this fall, bought the camera as extra insurance.

I too noticed that with the camera's internal memory, but not with my 2GB stick. btw, look at this product: Iogear USB 2.0 MEMORY CARD RW ( GFR202MSD ) in amazon, it is a pen drive which holds the memory stick inside it. Very cool and cheap, I'll be buying one. Oh, also, I was a bit disappointed with the video quality the first 2 days, then I noticed the default is "medium" quality, once I changed it to "high" quality, I decided THIS IS THE ONLY CAMCORDER I NEED.

It comes with a short USB cable that connects between the camera and your computer and allows you to transfer pictures while the camera is charging. The cable also connects between the camera and a wall wart that lets you charge directly from 110 V. This camera has worked out great for me. I do everything with it now rather than use a larger camera. One important feature of the camera is that most all the operating prompts appear on the LCD screen, which helps you learn how to use the camera.

can i charge directly from the camcorder to electrical outlet ?i thought that when i bought the battery charger,that it would come with a cord so i could charge directly to a electrical outlet.but i was under the impression that the kit that i bought had that connector.I was not shown this kit that you are displaying now,i was not given an option at the time i was looking for this latest KIT.now what will that attachment cost me if i still want that part?

I can't believe this website doesn't provide a "what's in the box" section - I can't find it either! Yes, it comes with a battery, but the AC power unit does not always charge the battery - check the manual, but I think it either only charges when the camera is turned off, or maybe doesn't charge it at all. In any case, a couple spare batteries (with a wall charger) are a must for this camera.I believe it comes with component output cords but it has an HDMI port, which is the most useful for getting video out of it.

It came with a battery, from what I've read, it doesn't last too long, and there are longer lasting batteries out there. However, we used it every day on a month-long trip and never ran out, so we're happy. It comes with an outlet cord which plugs into the camera, and you just plug it in, like a cell phone, to charge. We bought a power converter at Radio Shack so we could plug it in the car power outlet which normally takes a car adapter, and that worked just fine. We were happy with the digital quality of the videos compared to our previous camcorders. We had a shutter problem - it stopped working - and Sony repaired it for free and sent it back as it was under warranty, and now it works great. Hope that answers your question! http://www.amazon.com/Sony-HDR-CX260V-Handycam-Camcorder-Battery/dp/B0074TQDOW for example

When I put the video on my computer I did not use the USB cord, I used an SD card and it worked fine. I have a MacBook pro and just put the micro sd card into the larger SD card that fits into the slot in the computer.
