The camera comes with 11.4 MB of internal memory which won’t be enough for those huge files and if you want to take a bunch of photos or video but of course a memory card can be inserted to boost the memory to 1 GB or more.

The 2.8-inch LCD display on the backside of the unit is nice, wide and bright (1400cd/m2). You can take up to 3 shots per second (including in flash mode) and it has a 3x optical/4x digital zoom, self-timer feature and have the camera power up to take your first photo in under 2 seconds.
