Just received delivery, and am surprised that it doesn't include any memory card! Is this normal?

Dear Brian: yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let the customer/consumer pick up one of their own. hope this helps! love, joyce

Yes... gone are the days when a memory card was included. However, this does mean you can choose exactly what you want/need instead of having something that doesn't meet your needs floating around too. Amazon has a great selection so you shouldn't have any trouble finding a good one.

No memory card; only has a built-in memory. I did not get a wrist strap at first, but it should have been included. An e-mail to the seller got me the needed strap.

Hello, Jan...no, it doesn't come with a memory card, but they are easy to find and afford. I can really recommend this camera, even without the card. I have some professional cameras, too, but this cute little camera is so handy, and the quality of photographs is impressive. Happy shooting!!!

You really need to read everything before you buy. It clearly indicates that it doesn't come with a memory card, and only a small amount of built in memory.Worn edges on boxes is completely normal, especially when shipped via UPS (despite packing materials and an outside box. Amazon did you no wrong here, you just need to keep yourself informed, and read everything before you plop down $250!

I ordered one when they first came out in September 2012. If I recall correctly, there was no memory card included and I went and bought one separate. With Prime, mine came in 2 days

I've bought several ELPHs over the years but can't remember if the last one had a memory card with it. If it did, the memory involved was so minor as to require buying another card anyway. They may have changed their policy and started including cards that have more than a limited number of MB, but if so, I'm unaware of it.

Hi Njoku, when I got mine, it came with the battery, charger, but the memory card was not included, but I ordered a fairly decent sized one on here for an extra 15 dollars or so.

No memory cards were included with the camera, unless otherwise specified by the seller. Walmart is a great, affordable place to purchase them.

It does not come with one, but it carries standard SD cards. One thing i recommend is to get a class 10 for speed. It can be laggy with the lower end memory cards.

No Sd Card is included with the câmera, maybe you can find a Sd Card included in other packages, bundles.

You'll need to buy one. SD cards were not included in the two that I bought.

This is probably a couple months late, but from the page, I can tell you they say: Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included). That is all I know. I'm waiting for mine to arrive in the mail.

Sorry.... Thinking back it did not include the memory card. We already had one.

What is normal? To hold down the cost many devices which use memory cards ship with and many don't. My guess is that they are holding down the initial cost. Another possibility is that users already have memory cards (maybe from previous cameras) from special pricing purchases or have their own requirements for capacity, speed and size. Some times Amazon offers packages which include a memory card. Personally I already have several "spare" memory cards.
