The camera comes with a memory card. But it's a very small capacity. It can probably hold a dozen pictures or less if you select the high quality modes. The type of card you want to get for this camera is called SDHC. The size is up to you. I think 1GB can hold up to 200 pictures in high quality mode. But I would suggest getting a 4GB card. It's a better value if you do the price/GB math.

Forgot to add. Yes you can use a bigger memory card. The Lexar Professional 400x 128GB SDXC UHS-I Flash Memory Card will work. Though you are better waiting for the next generation of this Sony due to the issues I mentioned above.

thanks for your info! Will look into the site and hopefully get a good deal on a memory card :)

you have to buy one. I think you have to buy one for any digital camera that you buy. I've never heard of one coming with a memory card before.

$100 more bucks for an extra 28~gigs? ouch. might as well just buy the 32gb edition and then pick up a Sandisk 128gb SD card that comes out soon (yes, it's compatible) and get more for your money. just my opinion though!

We bought an 8gb SDHC to go with this camera and it works great. Don't know if a bigger one would work any different or not. Hope this helps.

You will need to buy an micro sd card. The camera will accept up to a 32gb. The camera is awesome btw. Excellent quality and plenty of in-camera features. Good luck

There is no built in memory for this camera, and no memory card comes with the camera. There are some stores that will "include" bonus items, like a case or an SD card. I bought mine through COSTCO.com and it came with a free 2GB card. You can buy any size SD card though - Look at Dealnews.com for the best prices. I just bought an 8GB for $15 - that will be MORE THAN ENOUGH unless you are producing movies!! (I have also seen 4GB for $10 as well).

I've used 32gb cards without issue. I did have an issue with a 64gb card though, but I am not sure if it was the card or the camera.

John: I'm using a normal sd card, with 32 GB capacity. Try to buy a fast one. Regards, I hope this help

The manual doesn't specify the size. Only by chance did I purchase a 16GB card. That is over 3000 pictures.

Camera does not come with a memory stick, you'll have to buy one. I found a cheaper one at pharmacy.

Chris, You do need a memory card for the camera. Without the card and taking pictures at a high resolution having "out of memory" show up is about right. I would recommend getting about an 8 Gig card.

I just realized that a memory card doesn't come with this camera. What a bummer. My camera is on its way to me and I have to go out and buy a memory card before I can use it??? This has never happened before, and I've had four or five previous digital cameras. Is Canon getting stingy?

I like Sandisk as well, however I bought a Sandisk 32 GB class-10 card for this camera and it errors all the time so I don't use it. The 16 GB card (unknown class) that comes with the camera works well and I don't plan to buy another one unless this one dies.

Hi. Which size of card did you buy? Remember it records at a full 1080P. I bought a 32gig card for this camera, haven't had a problem since.

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 .
