Get The Right Digital Camera Memory


by Matthew Bass

Digital camera memory is a big part of today's digital cameras. Your pictures are temporarily stored on the memory card as you take them. When you're finished shooting pictures, you can transfer all or some of the pictures to your computer and free up the memory card to take more pictures. This reusable feature is the best part about digital camera memory. Each memory card has it's own capacity and once it's full you won't be able to take anymore pictures until you offload them to your computer. Just always remember that after you transfer them to your computer to delete them from the memory card. Otherwise, when you get ready to shoot that important photo, your memory card could still be full.

For the most part, digital cameras have a low amount of memory. Since these can store a limited number of pictures it is advisable to purchase an additional memory card of higher capacity as a standby. A photographer can also buy two or three memory cards of smaller capacity. This also provides him enough memory to take pictures.

However, it becomes necessary to use higher capacity memory cards as the mega pixel count (resolution) of the camera increases. Some of the small size cards have a memory capacity of 64MB, and are not suitable to save high resolution pictures. To shoot such pictures, photographers need to use memory cards of 1 GB capacity or more.

Depending on the type of digital camera and the number of pictures to be stored, digital camera memory is available in many shapes and configurations. These memory cards are solely dependent on the requirements of the digital camera. For example, a compact flash type 1 digital camera memory needs to be used for a camera using compact flash type 1. The small and low cost Flash Digital Camera memory is suitable for rugged and rough handling.

Generally, the memory cards come in 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB capacity. Photographers can optimize the use of memory cards by using the JPEG format to store photographs. This may allow them to save more photographs but it will also lead to a loss of picture quality. To be on the safer side, one should buy one 256 MB or two 128MB memory cards. This will provide you sufficient memory space to meet your photo shoot requirements.
