Skimpy internal memory The internal storage of the Sony Cybershot DSCW120 is ridiculously small, and a "memory stick" must be purchased for an additional $30+ to provide a reasonable photographic capability. Though the internal storage is 15Mbytes, this translates into only 5 (five) actual images at the default resolution. Perhaps this information is buried someplace in their product manuals. It required a phone call to Sony for me to determine it. Even my old Olympus point and shoot holds 96 images at its default resolutionI see no reason the fact that the camera's internal memory can only hold five images.

I don't know of anyone that relies solely on a digital camera's internal memory.

I carry 2 64GB cards for my D5100. I use a single card for a shoot and move them as soon as practical onto a more stable platform (backed up). Then I return the card to my cycle. This lets me shoot as much as I want without fear of running out of space. I also shoot jpg & raw. They are so cheap (I saw them for $15.99 the other day) that I cannot see a reason not to use them. The other people fearing about loss of the pictures are right though, do not store your pictures on here. Move them as soon as possible.

Hard to recall exactly, but I think it has more to do with the Type of XD Card. To speed up write speeds, Olympus & Fuji came out with an M+ type which is likely incompatible with your camera. Seem to recall that there were 1GB 'normal' cards and 1GB M+ cards. Given this, you're likely safe with anything 512mb and lower. Cheers and I'd strongly encourage a more modern camera. The advances since this camera can be measure in light years. --Rich

There is no internal memory. So it depends on the size of the memory card that you use.

I've owned three Sony Cyber Shot ultra-compact digital cameras and have had excellent luck, a T1, T7 and currently a T200. Sorry, you are having bad luck with the T2, I will make note. I ended up going with a T20 and an add on 4GB memory card as an Xmas present for my girlfriend, which ended up being about a $100 cheaper in the end, and the cameras have very similar internal specifications.

I suggest getting fastest SD card you can. I only see that kind of slow time on these types of camera if you are shooting RAW+ and using slow SD card or continuous shooting mode. If this is supposed to be normal I'd complain to Sony.

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.

I purchased my camera about a month ago (Aug. 2012) and it still says 16GB max. I actually had the same question.....to be on the safe side I just put a 16 in but would have preferred a 32GB. db

I frankly don't remember, it was for a fellow employee. But I did recently purchase a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W620 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD in Silver + 8GB SDHC + Sony Case + Card Reader + Replacement Battery + Accessory Kit for $128 for everything here on Amazon. We were very impressed with everything plus it saved ordering everything separately. Compare the two cameras and see if it measures up. I'm sorry I couldn't help with your question. Have a great day :)

Actually, there's something in the manual about a video limit (NOT card limit) of 2GB (Video recording) at a time, but I am unclear about what happens then. Does one simply start recording again or is the max 2GB size just inaccurate; at that point. In any case, I don't think I'll be doing 2GB clips; without pause anyway, so no big deal.BTW, I like a 4GB (or bigger) SDHC (extreme III and reader) because I can take a bunch of pictures and still have room for video clips. I have extra 4GB cards not yet open.

There is 32GB (I am answering this from memory) of internal memory, not all of which is available to store images. It can take a SD, SDHC, or an Extended SD(XC?) (>32GB).

The manual states: "The camera has approximately 56 MB of internal memory. This memory is not removable. You can record images on the internal memory when there is no memory card inserted in the camera." No doubt, you will purchase an SD card for normal operation...

Very nicely done review.... But I think I'll wait for the next version before a purchase. I bet it will have a SD memory chip slot. Meanwhile, my new Canon A560 digicam ($130.00) has the latest SDHC slot which will allow for rather extended length videos when using a high capacity card (4-8 GB). Not quite as convenient as the Flip, however.

It should work no problem. I know that the cybershot uses sony proprietary memory which is also known as a memory stick. No one else calls it a "stick" but sony, and it is also sized different than similar looking generic SD cards.

Hi. No internal storage. It takes standard SD cards. THis is a good camera, but not a great camera. If you are very demanding, like a professional or semi-professional, buy an D-SLR, not this type. Hope this helps

it has only 16 MB internal memory/13 MB available memory for image storage (1 MB equals one million bytes) so, you would probably need an extra SD card if you want to hold more than 30 or so pictures.go to think link and scroll down to the bottom:http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=7086&pq-locale;=en_US

According to this article (http://www.videodirect.com/olympus/digitalcameras/olympus-sp-720-ultra-zoom-ihs-black.html) the camera comes with 15MB of internal memory. I use an SD card, and have not tested the internal memory.
