My lovely daughter bought me a tiny little digital camera for my birthday and I've only just gotten around to looking at it, but I can't get it to work!

I'm far from being a complete technophobe, but I can't figure out how to actually take a picture with the blasted thing! I can turn it on, change the settings and zoom in and out no problem, but whenever I try to take a picture it comes up with a message saying I need to insert an sd memory card - shouldn't that already be in it? Surely the camera should just be ready to shoot when you get it shouldn't it? Do I need to buy something separate?

If it's this complicated I really don't understand why we don't still just use film, with film cameras you just press the shutter button and it takes the picture - end of story!
