How do I store footage on this, do I need a card? What type of card?

Yes, you want to get a card. Mine came with a Sony 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo. The setting I have it on is the 16:9 which gives me 4,535 photo's and 4:12:16 hours in video.

You can put an SD card in it so the bigger the card, the more you can record. You can also have it record straight to a dropbox account. You have the option of doing continuous or motion activated. Love it!

I had to purchase one when I bought the camera. If these are sold with one included they are usually on the lower end of storage so you would probably want to look to upgrade to a higher capacity card.

Just to add to the chorus, I use an 8GB Transcend Class 6 MicroSDHC card (w/SD adapter obviously) and it works great. No problems with burst mode or filming AVCHD video at all.

You need to purchase a card. I like to have a new one for every dive trip because of the possibility of shooting a lot of video which uses more memory. I have never run out.

You need to buy and SD card and install it before you record any video. They recommend at least a class 10 card.

This camera can not store any video. It is just a camera with a microphone. You will need a DVR to store the video and audio. Don't get me wrong, this is a good little camera just no storage. Hope this helps.

You can insert a SD card into the camera, then you can use the card to transfer the footage.

I am using a PNY 4 GB SDHC card. They are very inexpensive. About $5 to $10.

You need a sd card to record unless you have a line out to your camera. I would suggest to you to get the mk II since it has already been out for 2 months

Hi Ed, the external drive will need to have some sort of device, computer or tablet, that has a card reader or can handle an external card reader. I have no issues backing up HD video footage on the drive. The device was plug and play meaning the driver auto installed, on a Mac. I have used SD, CompactFlash and Thumb Drives

Purely self promotional. Video demands that the SD card be capable of FAST recording data rates. Get a Class 6 SD card (class 4 as a minimum) and you will be very happy. I would recommend 16GBs as a minimum capacity. To the best of my knowledge Memory sticks are only available in the base class 2 speed, hence they really cannot be better than SD cards for video.

Your videos will go on the mini dv tape only. Memory card is for pictures only.

You have to purchase a separate SDHC memory card to insert into the device in order to record. Once footage is recorded, you then insert the same card into your computer to import the files created.

Definitely. Also, good to get an extra one or two, keep them with you. Especially if you shoot video, which can use a lot of memory, you might want fairly large capacity cards.

You do need an sd card to make recordings, we use a 16 gig and it holds more than 100 hrs
