You need a SD or an SDHC card - since you'd like to take HD video's I'd suggest a 4 or 8GB Class 6 SDHC card (Class 6 implies it reads/writes at at least 6 MB/s).

As with most cameras, the Olympus SZ-31 does not come with a memory card and has no on-board memory. The card we are using is a Transcend 16 GB High Speed Class 10 UHS Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC10U1E 85/30 MB/s and it does a great job. We now have several hundred pictures and some videos. Don't hesitate, this is a great camera. My wife didn't have much interest in cameras--until she got this. She insists now that we take it everywhere. Today, we saw a Peregrin Falcon building a tree nest at a Lowes store and we got some great shots. She's right, as always.

Stockinv, As John McQuitty recomments the ScanDisk Ultra II and Extreme III memory cards work well in this Camera. I am using the Ultra II 1GB in My TZ3 with no problems, but would recommend you try the Extreme III 1-2GB or any of the Panasonic high speed (Class 6) cards available. Amazon has good deals on the Extreem III 2GB and Panasonic 2GB (class 6) memory cards.

SD card - I had to buy one. It was recommended when I was buying the camera and that's when I realized the camera didn't come with one.

If you search "Nikon + memory card" you can find a page on Nikon's site for various recommended cards, depending upon your needs (for photo or video). For photos a SDHC card works well. I am using a Wintec FileMate (32GB) which is speedy and handles video well too.

You need to buy any SDHC Memory Card - I recommend this one: SanDisk Extreme 32GB SDHC UHS-1 Flash Memory Card Speed Up To 45MB/s, Frustration-Free Packaging- SDSDX-032G-AFFP (Label May Change) [Old Version]

You also need to consider that Z712 uses their own custom LiIon batteries that look like AAs but are not. They give you a disposable set with the camera. If you need rechargeables for the Z712 it will set you back another $50 since you need to then buy batteries as well as the charger.

Yes, it does need an additional memory card. You can only take a few pictures with the memory that is already installed with the camera. I found that SanDisk makes excellent memory cards. Also, if you want to take High Definition video with the camera then you want a medmory card with at least 16gb. I got a Disk 'Extreme' memory card and it works great.

Great tips in this thread, thanks.I can't find what memory card I can get for my new 790. Does anyone know if it will take an 8 or even a 16 gig SDHC card? And can I use a "Class 6", or is it only able to accept/benefit from a "Class 4"? Can anyone recommend a solid, inexpensive card reader for SDHC cards? Thanks for your replies.

The camera came with a 8 GB TOPRAM SD HC. I haven't tried to use any other card in it.

There's one right here on Amazon, Kodak C1530 EASYSHARE Digital Camera Memory Card 8GB (SDHC) Secure Digital High Capacity Class 4 Flash Card, but you can use any SD or SDHC card like SanDisc and other. If you make a lot of videos buy a large storage card, like 16GB, if not, buy a small one, like 4MB. Take pictures, be happy!

You can use any card labeled "SD", up to 2 GB. For SD cards over 2 GB, only cards labeled "SDHC" (SD High Capacity) will work with this camera. I personally use a cheap Kingston 2 GB SD card. It works just as well as SanDisk, and I haven't had any problems with it. Here's a link to it on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-2GB-Digital-SD-Package/dp/B000EOMXM0/ref=pd_sim_p_title_1

The literature that came with the camera only recommends the sony brand memory card. I have not tried it with anything else.

Not an expert in this area. This is my husband's camera, and we just got an 8GB card because it was on sale.

Thank you so much for you reply!! I did wind up getting the SanDisk Extreme III 2Gb. Now its time to start learning how to use the camera ;o)

I would recommend a sd hc card that says for video. I bought one cheap from tiger direct and it works great. It is for my son's camera. Good camera for starters
