I used a Nikon Coolpix P100 and later realized there was no memory card installed. I took around 75 photos. Does this camera save anything to internal memory, and is there any way to recover the images?

Unfortunately for you, cameras these days don't come with any form of "internal" memory1 so if you didn't have a memory card in your camera, your photos are lost forever. Sorry about that.
- Or if they do, it's so limited that it may as well be none.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The Nikon Coolpix P100 does have a small amount of internal memory (about 43MB), so there’s a chance a few photos were saved there. However, that amount is far too small for around 75 images, so most or all of them may be unrecoverable.
To check, remove any memory card from the camera first. On this model, images stored in internal memory can only be viewed when no card is inserted. If anything was saved internally, you should then be able to access it from the camera.
If no images appear after removing the card, then the photos were not stored and can’t be recovered. In general, if a camera has no card installed and no usable internal memory available, unsaved photos are lost.
