Will any memory card work or do they need to be specially formated?

I've used a number of SD cards, right out of the shrinkwrap, and they all have worked fine.

The camera does its own formatting - it's part of the setup procedure which you go through, 'format, execute'. I found that using a 32-GB memory card caused a lot of trouble, and fixed that problem by using an 8-GB card instead. Mine are SanDisk SDHC cards, class 4, but I think any ordinary SD card would work well. But I only do still photos, and perhaps a faster card than class 4 would be needed for videos.

I've used multiple different memory cards from different makers and have not had any problems with pictures or video saving to them.

I have used standard cards without a problem, the camera will format the card. If you plan to capture video, be sure to get a card that is rated for that function. There is a SD card class rating you can read about, as I recall it is suggested using at least a 10 for video.

All you do is put your regular SD card in (not trying to use a name brand because we have all brands of cards) and the camera will walk you through the format. We have used the same card for still pictures that we use for video with no problems. Very simple to do, no matter your age or computer savvy

Yes it takes a standard sized SD card. If you use a micro sd card with an adaptor, it should work perfectly fine.

Just make sure you use a card reader that supports SDHC. Any SD card over 2GB will likely be SDHC and need a reader device that supports it.

With the brand new SD cards, yes. I wouldn't trust saving ANYTHING on that card. Spend your money on a quality SD card.

Yes you will need a SD card. I bought a 16 gig SD card and am using it just fine.

I am using a 16GB SD card and it is working fine. Larger capacity cards should also work but I have not tried any.

Of course. Memory cards are just like hard drives. As long as you don't abuse them they can be very versatile.

Any will work. SDHC and SDXC. Depending on the amount of video and High Def pictures you will be taking will determine the size of the SD card you purchase. I purchased a 64Gb SDXC card and found that more than enough for my use

You'll need a memory card unless you're buying a special kit that comes with one, it should say under the description.

Well, Sony actually makes SD cards (just search for them). They're probably guaranteed to be compatible, but these SanDisk cards will also work. SanDisk makes better cards than Sony.

Sorry, I wish I can help. I bought a couple sd cards and haven't figured out how they work, so they are still in their packaging. Sorry.

You need a regular SD, not micro. I got this one and it works great: SanDisk 16GB Class 4 SDHC Memory Card, Frustration-Free Packaging (SDSDB-016G-AFFP)

Cards need to be formatted using FAT16 or FAT32. If that's the case, then I'm not sure, you might try their customer support.

Suposingly so, but since I don't live in the US I'm having some trouble solvinga problem with my memory card. You should probably try getting an answer from a US resident.

I used a memory card, but it was only 32GB SD. I would guess that card would be ok, but I don't know for sure.I think you will be disappointed in this camera as the included software is poor, and streaming doesn't work.

yes you can write to any memory card in this device. Your computer sees it as an external drive and you can copy from or copy to it.

Just a regular size sd card is fine - any size I think. We use a 16GB card.
