The XH-A1s uses MiniDV tapes. You will need some if you want to record anything. Also, a firewire connection will be necessary to your computer for editing.

It records to mini dv tapes, everything is recorded to tape. There is an SD card required but all it stores is camera settings.

Memory card for pictures only and tape for capturing video or portable hard drive that connects via FireWire

I wondered, why would you purchase an additional 4gb of memory when the camera has 15gb built in? Thanks!

I have not used a memory card since I have a 32gb model. Take pictures and store them in the cloud.

Cords...lots of cords. I just got it and haven't played with it all yet. It will need a SD card if you are going to shoot more than about a dozen high rez pics.

Hello. Sorry I can not be of more help as I purchased this Camera for one o my wife's Christmas Gifts. But I am going to purchase a 16 GB storage card for the unit. She should be able to take some nice video and well as still photo with this storage along with what is already in the Nikon. The specifications and Camera look excellent and reviews are very good. Enjoy and Merry Christmas.

Yes, you need to buy a memory card. The digital images are stored on the card.

No. The internal storage is really small also, so in order to have use of the camera make sure you buy one or already have one.

The camera does not come with an SD card unless it was a limited offer add on. Buy the recommended accessories listed (the Case logic case and transend (or amazon basics) 16 gig memory card. Both are the best option for case and sd card.

Thanks. I'm currently enjoying the camera already. I want a 4 or more gig card for video. I'm also accumulating the compulsory accessories, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc .

No, it is not included, nor does it permit storing images to internal memory (used for firmware). An 8gb SD card will be sufficient for hundreds of images at full quality.

I cant remember if it comes with a memory card but everything else was there. This camera is worth purchasing.Jonathan

If you have the option I would buy a bundle, you will get everything you need to charge your camera and start shooting the same day. The unit doesn't come with memory card or any extra items you might want.

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.

Any 8gb sd card will do. I can include one with the camera for no extra charge. Thank you

You just need to purchase an SD memory card. A carrying or protective case, extra battery (it comes with a battery already) or tripod for this camera are optional.

standard SD card. I would go with at least 8 gigs to give you plenty of image and video storage.
