Unlike the 35mm film camera which differed only in the

quantity of shots and suppliers, diverse digital

cameras use distinct storage media.

This is normally the case for various camera companies

as some brands prefer to have a proprietary storage medium

for their cameras.

Aside from the diverse types of storage media, they also

differ in the amount of memory they can handle. Today's

cameras consume up more memory which is why larger memory is

the order of the day specially for professionals.

Here are some of the most well-known storage media employed by

digital cameras these days:

1. Compact flash

- this is perhaps the most typical storage device for

digital cameras, specifically high-end ones like digital

SLRs.

Compact flash memory comes in two flavors: Kind I and II.

Most cameras accept Sort I despite the fact that the Kind II varieties

have a increased capacity.

two. Memory Stick

- this is a proprietary storage media developed and

created by Sony not only for their digital cameras but

also on their other merchandise.

Early Memory Sticks have been able to shop only up to 256MB

though Sony has currently come up with the Memory Stick Pro

which has capacities up to 1GB.

3. Safe Digital (SD) and MultiMedia Cards

- are yet other varieties of storage media. Aside from

digital cameras, they can also be used on a host of devices

such as mobile phones.

These varieties are the smallest amongst storage media

particularly when the micro SD memory was introduced to the

public. The SD card and the MMC (MultiMedia Card) are

fundamentally the same except for the truth that SD cards have a

create-protect switch to shield the information that is stored

inside. NormandOleson118 - Wikiguitarraonline
