Why are flash memory cards important to digital cameras?
As picture quality and resolutions on digital cameras have improved, the need to save and store larger picture files has increased. Today leading digital camera manufacturers typically feature removable digital film cards for capturing, storing, and swapping images. Popular removable memory solutions include Compact Flash, Smart Media, Memory Stick, Multi Media Card, Secure Digital card and xD-Picture Card. Typically, most camera manufacturers include a low-capacity card with the camera. Users must download the photos to a computer after the card’s capacity is reached. That’s why for many typical picture-taking situations like vacations, weddings, or sporting events, the photographer needs more flash memory cards.
