Digital Camera Memory Buyer's Guide

There is nothing worse than being at an event and snapping a few photos, only to find out your digital camera just ran out storage space. We have all been there, and it usually happened during the most important events. Your camera may have came with a limited amount of onboard memory, but shutterbugs will definitely need to pick up a couple of quality expansion cards, especially for high-resolution shots. On the flip side, the same can be said about MP3 players, cell phones, and a wide assortment of other devices that use flash memory cards.

As with everything else related to electronics, it seems the manufacturers can't pick a standard flash memory format to simplify our lives. Instead we have a mixture of formats, including Secure Digital, Multi Media Card, Smart Media, Memory Stick, xD-Picture Card, and Compact Flash.

To make matters worse, some formats have various subformats, such as Compact Flash coming in both Type 1 (3.3mm) and Type 2 (5.0mm) card versions. Even better, most people do not realize Secure Digital and Multi Media Cards are physically the same, yet a device might only support one of the specific standards. If you need help sorting through the standards, then Steve's Digicam offers an excellent guide for picking the correct flash memory media.
