Yes, always have a memory card when you use a camera. Most cameras that have a buffer or small storage space limit the features unless you have a memory card.

You can buy a Sandisk Ultra 16gb card for about $10 nowadays, there's no excuse not to buy one.

memory card lasts a long time, unlike film. sandisk, kingston, silicon power. a 16G is more than enough.

this is my first digital camera.
I will pick up a memory card
