I'm pretty sure it comes with a 32MB card in the box. That will fill up after a few shots in RAW!

Sorry to say but no internal memory.

You will definitely need a card to record.

Surely you can pick up a cheap memory card somewhere like Tesco for the price of a film processing?

Re: Does the Canon PowerShot G9 have internal memory?
The one you got is 30MB/s read/write speed and the other was 20MB/s.
So yes in a way its a better card, but it won't make much of a difference to using your G9.
If you have a good fast card reader it may transfer them images to your PC quicker, but that's about it.
An ordinary Extreme III or Ultra II card is plenty performance for a G9.
