HOW DO SD (for camera )memory cards work?

I'm not sure how the memory cards work do i put it in before taking pictures ? when i get home can i hook it up to my pc as usual ? OR do i need to do something different

HOW DO SD (for camera )memory cards work?
Yes, put it in the camera BEFORE you take any photos. Unless your camera has internal memory you will not be able to take pictures before inserting it.


After you take the photos you can either remove the card and insert it into a card reader on your computer of plug a USB cable into the computer ant into the camera to transfer the photos.
Reply:Haha. I was getting ready to say "It's magic", but then I see the rest of your question. Film I have a dim grasp of how it works. Anything involving computers or electronics just seems like magic to me!
Reply:You have to put the memory card in your camera before taking the pictures for them to be saved on the card. Other than that your computer should reconize the card in the device as it does the camera; nothing different.


How come Xbox memory cards are obsolete than rare?

I thought they were good for keeping your games a secret! Please answer and thank you!

I think because most people store their game saves on their hard drive

Is there REALLY a difference between generic and brand-name SD memory cards?

So I've been doing a little research on the new SDHC format to ensure my new digital camera is compatible, and I'm looking to buy a 16gb SDHC memory card off of eBay. Is there really any difference between the generic brands (AData, Transcent, TopRam, Kingston, etc.) and name brands such as SanDisk?

Is there REALLY a difference between generic and brand-name SD memory cards?
Not really dude. I mean its like general medication. You can get name brand antibiotics for $60 or you can get the same thing, but with a generic title for $20.





Your getting the same thing, with a warranty, your just not buying it for the name they have built. Safeway soda taste like pepsi cola. You just only pay 50 cents instead of 2.00





enjoy your new 16gb, that thing is MASSIVE
Reply:no
Reply:No, I have both and it´s the same!
Reply:Not that I know of, I'm no expert, but Ive used both and see no difference. Save a few bucks and buy generic!
Reply:Yes. Brand names usually ensure their products are quality and will last for a really long time. Generics just want to chug out a product for someone who does not have the money to afford the higher qualities. Honestly, I would not go cheap with anything that has to do with either a camera or a television. You usually get what you purchase.
Reply:I doubt it, the name brands MIGHT be SLIGHTLY faster, but not a noticeable amount. I'd go for the cheep stuff.
Reply:sto usando entrambi e mai non ho visto una differenza

What exactly is action replay max and gameshark, are they CDs and DVDs or memory cards to connect to PCs &PS2?

and if you can please explain how to use it to transfer PS2 game saves from my PC to my PS2s memory card.


it will be very helpful if can recommend me what i'll need to do so

What exactly is action replay max and gameshark, are they CDs and DVDs or memory cards to connect to PCs %26amp;PS2?
Action replay max and gameshark are two cheat devices that allow you to manipulate a game's code for things such as infinite lives, health, level select etc etc etc ! They've been around since the PS1 and come on cd/dvd discs. The action replay max drive is a usb thumb drive that allows you to retrieve game saves from your PC to transfer to a Playstation memory card.

They offer the best price and they also have a wizard to make sure you are ordering the right memory for your camera and with next day delivery.. you couldn't ask for more
Reply:You definitely need to buy a much larger card...and one that holds much more than 30, because you never know when you will want to take more photos (especially on a day out or a weekend away etc)


Also, if you like to shoot 'movies' with your camera, then you will need a large sized card because 4 mins of best resolution video will take up about 512 MB of memory.


I would recommend a good, fast SD card such as the...Sandisk Ultra II with a capacity of 512 MB or even 1GB. Card prices have fallen dramatically over the last few months, so they are very affordable. Shop around for the best price.
Reply:I think you will find that it's compact flash. Quite a cheap card and comes in lots of sizes, if you reduce the size of the photos in the menu, you will get more on the present card!


Nice camera.

Benefit of high speed flash memory cards?

Hello. I am wondering what is the TRUTH about flash memory cards. Will an SD card with higher speed perform better than ones at regular speeds? Is it true it'll help with flash recycle times and shutter lag? Is there a brand(s) you would steer clear from, or does it really matter? Seems like this one A-Data SD card I bought last year doesn't work as well as it should seemingly. Thanks in advance.

Benefit of high speed flash memory cards?
Here's an answer that I wrote for a specific application, but it will be useful to you in your buying decision:





The benchmark of 1X is a transfer rate of 150 KB per second.


I have not encountered a card that was not at least 4X (600 KB per second) and 12X (1.8 MB per second) is now a common speed for an unlabeled card. Compared to 4X, 12X might still be called "high speed" by some manufacturers. 40X is also a common "high speed" card and the transfer rate would be 6 MB per second. That's not too bad for most applications.





Sandisk Ultra II claims a minimum write speed of 60X or 9 MB per second, and a minimum read speed of 66X or 10 MB per second. Sandisk Extreme III claims a minimum write and read speed of 133X or 20 MB per second.





The largest 6MP photos on a D50 camera (for instance) seem to be about 3 MB, so it seems that an Ultra II could save 3 high data images per second, while an Extreme III could save 6 high data images per second. The D50 continuous mode gives up to 2.5 frames per second, so you could be gathering about 8 MB of data per second. If you do not have at least the Ultra II or equivalent, it is easy to see how the D50 bogs down at times.





Once the memory buffer is full, you can not save images any faster than the card can save them and the camera will stop taking pictures until there is space available in the memory buffer. This means you are limited by both the size of the memory buffer and the write speed of the card.





A faster card may indeed help with shutter lag, but probably only in a continuous shooting mode. I do not see any way that it could help with flash recycling time.





See also: http://www.lexar.com/dp/workflow/Pro_HS....
Reply:A fast memory card will do nothing for your flash recycle speed and nothing for shutter lag. These are limitations of the camera itself. Or actually, fresh batteries can improve the flash recycle time.


You might - MIGHT - notice a small difference if you shoot high resolution video or if you do a lot of continuous shooting. This is when you need write a lot of data to the memory card in a hurry - and this is the only time that the speed of the card matters. But even then, the bottleneck is usually the camera itself. Point %26amp; shoot cameras have pretty slow write speeds. Slower than a good memory card is capable of recieving.


Fast cards are intended for dSLR cameras. I use a Nikon D200. This camera can shoot 5 frames per second and every picture can be up to 16 MB. That means that I can throw 80MB per second at the memory card. 400MB in 5 seconds. The D200 can also write to the card like a banshee, so I invested in fast cards to keep up.
Reply:The way the speed was explained to me is that the download speed is increased. If you shoot in RAW format, then each picture will be a large file, and you'll want it faster, especially if you have a lot of pictures.
Reply:Faster cards will do nothing to help with shutter lag or flash recycle times. If you shoot rapid-fire bursts of shots they may allow you to work with more shots at a time.





I use SanDisk and a generic brand of CF regular cards (not high speed). And they both work equally well for me.
Reply:many good brands


it helps slightly


go for at least 50x faster

type sd memory card
Reply:The only real reasons to get a high speed card are if your camera has a rapid fire function and if you are using you camera to record video and you want the highest quality. It doesn't really help with flash or other functions. Other than that, a regular memory card is just fine. Sandisks are usually reliable.

XD memory cards - can they only be used in Fuji digital cameras?

My Fuji Finepix camera doesn't seem to be working properly and I need to get a new one, but would prefer to keep the expensive memory card that I only bought 18 months ago. Thanks.

XD memory cards - can they only be used in Fuji digital cameras?
Most Olympus and Fuji cameras use xD cards as the xD card is a proprietary technology and was developed by Olympus %26amp; Fuji together. However, Olympus SLR can also use CF in addition to xD.
Reply:That expensive memory card you bought 18 months ago...is now worth next to nothing. You could easily buy 2-3 new (same capacity) memory cards, today...for the same price.


So, there's no real need to stick to the same brand of camera.


Only Fujifilm and Olympus use xD cards.


Most other brands of camera uses the faster, SD memory card.
Reply:18 months is way too long to think your memory card is worth deciding what camera to buy. The price you paid 18 months ago is a non-issue. Check out Ebay and move on.
Reply:Fuji and Olympus introduced xD cards in about 2002, and most cameras they have produced since use this card. Given that this is eons ago in digital camera terms, all their new models and most recent secondhand ones will be xD compatible. Of course, it will still we worth checking for that ultimate peace of mind.
Reply:XD is only used by Fuji and Olympus. Memory cards are very cheap now (2Gbyte SD cards are around £10) , so I wouldn't place much importance on staying with XD.
Reply:some olympus cameras
Reply:Many compact digital cameras take XD cards - simply say that is a requirement to the shop at which you are choosing your replacement (or check the camera details if buying on line)

How can I transfer game saves to my PS2 without using third-party programs/memory cards? Can I use my PSP?

I'm using the official black memory card for my PS2. I heard that you can you connect your PSP to PS2 via USB Connection. It works, but nothing happens. What is the filetype of a gamesave from my memory card?

How can I transfer game saves to my PS2 without using third-party programs/memory cards? Can I use my PSP?
You cannot, yes you can connect but what you can do depends on what is loaded.





When the PS2 was released the PSP was not in existance so the PS2's own software does nothing. But if you connect a game like Metal Gear 3 Substance and on the PSP load up Metal Gear Acid you can unlock certain addons.





Socom 3 on the PS2 and Socom FTB on the PSP unlocks new weapons.





But thats about it. It all depends on the game, as for transfering files im afraid youve been mis-informed.

Reply:Canon DLSRs use CF.


However, there are various configuration like higher capacity 2- 4 - 6 - 8 gb, low/high speed. Price of flash media is going down fast nowadays that its very tempting to go for the highest capacity and speed.


You will have check the manual or Canon website on the flash media limitation of your camera model. If not supported, it may not function properly, so wasted investment and emotion.
Reply:I looks like the last time Canon made compact digital cameras that used CF cards was in A95 in Aug 2004





Here is a link to some of those cameras.





http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_...





In an attempt to make compact digital smaller and smaller, the memory cards eventually got smaller too.





Some makers of entry level DSLR's use SD and SDHC cards to make the transition from compact digitals to DSLR less costly ...





Eventually there will be converters available so the consumer can use their old SD's in DSLR's which use CF cards .. there is one made now, but it is quite expensive. It is cheaper just to buy a 4GB CF card for under $40 or a 2-pack of 2GB cards for $28.

You just need to make sure that the digital photo frame supports xD cards. All frames come with a built-in card reader, that generally supports SD, CF cards. Many also support xD, but not all...so make sure you check the specs of the frame first.


'M' type cards are standard xD cards...and 'H' type should be perfectly fine, also.

Do memory cards remember everything that has been on it? I lost all my pictures because my HD crashed.?

The memory card is not corrupt or damaged. I have deleted a few pictures. Usually when I retrieve pictures I either move or cut them to another folder. I would like to know of any programs or websites or companies that could help me with my problem. It is a Memory Stick Duo.





I am not able to retrieve data from my HD because I have reformatted it three times already.

www.undelete-plus.com just download the software and you can retrieve any information lost, erase, or even when you formatted it. let me know if this information was helpful.
Reply:I don't know if there is a company that can help you, but when you delete a file what typically occurs is the pointer in the allocation table is removed making the memory location available to be written on. Only when you format the memory is the entire card erased. I would assume this varies by camera though.





If you've used the card many times, the only pictures that may still be there are the ones that haven't been previously written over.

Are digital photography memory cards interchangeable with video camera memory cards?

Or are there different types? They seem to just say the amount of memory they have so I thought that maybe it didn't matter what kind of data you store on them.

Are digital photography memory cards interchangeable with video camera memory cards?
If the camcorder uses, for instance, SD, and the camera uses SD, then yes.





The cards are just storage media and are independent of the device. If the device has the right slot, the it will work in it even if it didn't come with it when you bought it.





It doesn't matter what kind of data you store on them, but be careful to back up cause who knows what the device will do to the data when you put it in there if the device didn't create it.
Reply:Standard SD cards are compatible with camcorders ONLY if they are fast enough. If a still camera takes an extra 1/30th of a second to write the data for a frame to the memory card, the user won't even notice; but if a camcorder takes an extra 1/30 of a second, it just dropped a frame! Report Abuse

Reply:It matters if the camcorder requires a minimum speed of SD card. This would especially be true of high definition camcorders. For example the Panasonic HDC-SD9 and Canon HF10 and HF100s require a class 4 SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card.





The SCHC cards conform to the SD 2.0 specifications, which provide for speed classifications class 2, class 4 and class 6 (2,4 and 6 MB/s transfer speeds, respectively - note megabytes per second not megabits). According to the first source below, most cameras and (external card readers) made before the 3rd quarter of 2006 can NOT support SDHC.





So, they're not completely interchangeable.





If the SD camcorder you are looking at is not a high definition model, or if it was made over 2 years ago, it may be able to use the slower older standard SD cards - but you may want to check the manual.
Reply:It depends, if they use SD cards they are very likely to be compatible with each other.

You can try reloading the drivers. Go under your Start menu -%26gt; Control Panel -%26gt; System -%26gt; Hardware tab -%26gt; Device Manager. Look in the list for Human Interface Devices. Expand that node and you should see your card reader in there. Right click on it and select Uninstall. Then reboot and let Windows reload the drivers for it. If you dont see it under Human Interface Devices, look under the Ports node, it may be under that.

What's the best way to ship internal memory cards?

I have 2 memory sticks for a laptop I am mailing. I know that when you purchase things of this nature they are in an antistatic plastic bag but I don't have those. How should I mail these?

What's the best way to ship internal memory cards?
First place them in antistatic bags





Then rap them in bubble rap





Then place them in reasonably firm containers caboard or plastic (sturdy plastic containers would be safer)





To be extra carefully ensure that the container is sealed to keep moist or water out





Then mark the container "FRAGILE ELECTRONIC MATERIAL"





And for as long as the delivery people are genuinely trying their best to do their job there should be no problems at all and the goods shod get there safely
Reply:anti static bags are made of polyester, a.k.a. mylar for the comic book fans. it's the same type of bag that potato chips are put in. so finish off that bag of doritos ranch, wipe the inside of the bag clean, then wrap your memory sticks in them. then wrap the entire thing well in a padded envelope, or a padded cardboard mailer








you know those silver solar eclipse sunglasses? those are made of mylar too (thicker than potato chip bags mind you...)
Reply:you can purchase anti-static bags at shipping stores like fed ex kinkos. i would not suggest shipping any sort of low voltage electronic device without one.
Reply:wrap in newspaper, then bubble-wrap;or cardboard backing

"If you own camera memory cards that have been used in other digital cameras, the cards may not be properly formatted for use in your DC215 camera, or the data on the cards may have become corrupted. When these issues arise, your camera indicates that the camera memory card needs to be formatted.





When you format a camera memory card, all of the information on the card is erased. This includes any templates supplied on the card."





All cameras record and process data differently. Some create hidden files on the card that are necessary for unique operations (i.e. viewing the photos on the LCD screen, etc). Formating a card in the camera you want to use it in will help ensure the data doesn't become corrupt and your images will arrive on your computer intact. Kind of like making your own bed.





Most professionals will format their cards every time they put it back into the camera. Better safe!





Note that formatting will erase all photos on the card!
Reply:Because your camera will format the memory card in a format that it can read and write. If the card is unformated, there is no format or structure for the data to be written on. The format must be the same in order for your camera to read and write on.
Reply:the same reason we defragment a computer
Reply:A basic memory card is just a blank storage space. When you format it in the camera it allows the camera to insert its storage structure into the memory card in a way that is best read by the camera. If you look at the memory card in your computer, you will see that directories (folders) are created after formating. Once the card is formatted, it will prevent your card from being used inside a different camera.


Memory Cards?

Can I use another sandisk memory card, besides Magic Gate, for my PSP and be able to still hold music, photos, and videos.

Memory Cards?
yes.any memory card you like you can use.
Reply:yes of course you can.


any type of memory card will work i believe.
Reply:Yes aslong as it is compatible with the PSP system. If you try it to save a game, it will work with music and videos.
Reply:You mean, using a generic card, yes you can, a memory is a memory
Reply:Maybe because they have to be trademarks of Sony for them to work but yea i think you can.

Memory Cards?

I have a 1-G memory card for a sony camera. My dad has a memory card reader and the card fits in it, but it doesnt show up on his computer when I plug it in. So, I have to put the memory card in my laptop, get the pictures on that, fight to get the card out, and but the photos on yet another memory card to put them on my dads computer. This takes forever, and now my card is getting all scratched up. Anyone have a quicker solution?

Memory Cards?
One option that you may consider is to take your memory card to the nearest digital photo printer...even Wal-Mart will do. There, just order (using the photo kiosk if they have one, or ask someone in the photo department) an "archive" CD...this will load every picture onto a CD that you can use in your computer. Then, you can also clean off the memory card for the next round of photos. (Also known as "formatting" the memory card). Hopefully the CD will cooperate better than your disk. What kind of card is it, anyway? Some are harder to read than others, especially if it is a "high-capacity" card. Some cards may require an external reader that you plug into the USB port.

Memory Cards?

Are all SD memory cards the same size-like the same size as far as fitting in a camera-not size as in memory

Memory Cards?
Yes, for it to be an SD (secure digital) card, it must have the common form factor.





Even SDHC cards share the same form factor, but your device has to support them in order to use them.





Micro-SD and Mini-SD cards are a different size, but those have Micro and Mini in the name, so that should be a clue it is smaller than regular SD card (but most come with an adapter that lets you use it in an secure digital device).
Reply:There are SD and SDHC cards which are the same physical size, BUT just because something uses the SD format does not mean it will use the SDHC. Your camera has to say that it will use the SDHC format, which is basicly the SD High Capacity format that allows memory sizes from 4 gigs on up. I think SD only goes to 2 gigs.





There is also a Mini SD that is smaller and a Micro SD that is smaller still. So yes, there are different sizes to the SD format.





So, to recap..





SD format (regular and SDHC)- small


Mini SD- smaller


Micro SD-smallest (freakin tiny actually)





Hope this helps.
Reply:Good question! At first I was going to say yes, however I am now going to say no.....





When SD cards first came out there was only one size. This is the size digital cameras use. Then pda's and phones needed memory and smaller physical sized cards were needed. Because of this, they developed the mini SD and the micro SD. So yes, there are different sized SD cards.

Reply:all the SD cards are the same size , but you can put an adapter to fit in any card reader or camera that reads cards


What do the "Classes" mean on Transcend memory cards?

What do the "Classes" mean on Transcend memory cards??


There are two transcend memory cards, both SDHC, both 8GB. One is class 6, the other class 2. Which one is better?? What does it mean?

What do the "Classes" mean on Transcend memory cards?
SDHC cards have SD Speed Class Ratings defined by the SD Association. The SD Speed Class Ratings specify the following minimum sustained write speed on to empty SDHC cards:





Class 2: 2 MB/s


Class 4: 4 MB/s


Class 6: 6 MB/s


Do faster memory cards improve DSLR camera performance?

A salesman from Tristate Camera just sold me a 300x speed Compact Flash card. He stated that by going with a faster speed memory I could drop my shutter times and that it would shoot better in low light. I was in a hurry so I went with it as it was like $100 for a 8GB.....but now Im thinking he was just making that up....does anyone know if this faster card will improve my low light shooting?

Do faster memory cards improve DSLR camera performance?
The memory card has nothing to do with the camera's low light performance. Or with any aspect of image quality, for that matter. Complete BS.





The only reason you'd want a blazing fast memory card is if you do a lot of sports photography and take long bursts of pictures in continuous mode. A faster memory card will let you continue for more shots before the buffer fills up.


The camera keeps pictures in an internal memory buffer as you shoot them and writes the files to the memory card while you continue shooting. The faster the memory card, the faster a picture is moved out of the buffer - making room for the next shot.


The buffer itself can hold about 10 to 20 pictures on most dSLR cameras. So with a slow memory card, if you take pictures at 3 frames per second (or more, depending on your camera) the buffer will fill up after about 20 shots and the camera will slow down. With a fast memory card, you keep shooting at maximum speed until the memory card is full.


If you never take more than 10 pictures in a row, you can use any old memory card.
Reply:Your memory card has NO effect on how well the camera shoots in low light. The card is simply a recording device and doesn't care what its contents are.





The 300x card will however help you shoot more frames per second, it will clear the buffer of your camera nice and fast so that it will be ready for the next shot a lot quicker (you wont have to stand there waiting for the camera to finish recording before you can take the next frame)





300x cards are a good investment, but not for the reason the sales guy told you :) unless you need to shoot many frames VERY quickly you wont need that card, however $100 was a pretty good price and a fast card is always a good investment
Reply:Your first mistake was buying from a reseller without checking their ratings from earlier customers...always check the possible merchant at "www.resellerratings.com" before making any purchase! Tristate has a VERY LOW customer satisfaction number..as do many sellers on sites other than Amazon.com...Best to get all photo gear from reliable stores..B%26amp;H Photo is one of the best..Adorama Camera has been great for me..
Reply:Salesman lied...bad salesman.

Wikipedia might help.
Reply:for game systems, its like a computer. they have internal hard drives that give them the ability to save things in the game, like you would save a word document.


For memory cards, they have chips like external flash drives that let you save things with limited storage and easily transfer them from computer to computer (or game console to console)





I am not sure how the magnetic tape works but I guess its like a CD, where the lazers in the system pick up certain waves on the tape and it converts them to music.





Awesome yahoo ID name by the way.

Memory cards??

I have a motorola V3 . can u get memory cards for this phone? because i dont think my phone has anywhere a memory card could go on it . if you can get memory cards for this phone links would be helpful thanks

Memory cards??
Sorry V3 has no card slot.





You have to rely on internal 5.5MB memory.





Here are the specs.


http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_razr_v3...
Reply:it depends. there are different V3 models. there's the V3C and the V3i, which do not support memory cards. then there is the V3M, which has a memory card slot. if your phone does have support a memory card, the V3's have the slot either next to, or under the battery. just take your battery door off, then look next to the battery, or take the battery out and see if it's under it.


Will the Canon Power Shot A570IS accept 4GB memory cards?

I'm looking to buy this camera and I want to make sure if I buy a 4GB memory card that it will work. I figure 4GB will allow for more video to be shot than 2GB, but I've yet to find out how much more.

Will the Canon Power Shot A570IS accept 4GB memory cards?
u wont have any probz if u know what type of card it uses. SD,MMC,miniSD,microSD.....
Reply:With a 4gb card you can record 16mins more than a 2gb card at 640x480 screen resolution.
Reply:Yep, they do.It accepts sd(2gig) sdhc(4gig+) and mmc cards
Reply:A 4 GB SDHC (secure digital high capacity) card will work in the A570 IS. Canon designed the camera to accept SD, SDHC and MMC cards.





Let's see... at 1.7 megabytes per second at full quality, a 2 GB card would be 19.6 minutes total. So a 4 GB card should be double that, or 39.2 minutes.





The 1.7 megabytes per second comes from the review here:

What's the difference between 'Type M' and 'Type H' with Fujifilm 1and 2 GB xD memory cards ?

wanting to buy digital camera memory card but confused by type H and M what's different?

What's the difference between 'Type M' and 'Type H' with Fujifilm 1and 2 GB xD memory cards ?
Here's straight from Wikipedia. Although they aren't god's word on everything this article seems to be reliable:





The original xD cards were available in 16 MB to 512 MB capacities. The Type M card, released in February 2005, uses Multi Level Cell (MLC) architecture to achieve a theoretical storage capacity of up to 8 GB. As of August 2006, Type M cards are available in sizes from 256 MB to 2 GB. However, the Type M suffers slower read-write speeds than the original cards.





The Type H card, first released in November 2005, offers higher data rates than Type M cards (theoretically as much as 3 times faster). As of 2006, Type H cards are only available in 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB capacities, with 2 GB cards being sold in Japan before the rest of the world.[citation needed] Olympus says that its Type H xD cards support special "picture effects" when used in some Olympus cameras, though these software features are not intrinsically hardware-dependent. This dependence may be seen as a weak form of tying. However type H cards are required in newer models to capture video at high rate (640x480x30).





Due to changes in the cards' storage architecture, newer Type M and H cards may suffer compatibility issues with some older cameras (especially video recording). Compatibility lists are available for Olympus: Olympus America’s and Fujifilm’s. The newer cards are also incompatible with some card readers.








I couldn't copy/paste the table but there are also differences in the read/write speed on the different xD cards.

Can I still get small memory SD Memory Cards?

I'm looking for small (8, 16, 32 MB) SD memory cards to keep individual appliactions on for a device I have, I don't want to buy 128 MB+ ones when I don't need them.





Anyone know of any retailers that may have any new old stock?





The ones that turn up on eBay are a rip off!

What is the difference between SD and SD MMC digital camera memory cards?

I want to buy Kodak C633, and it says SD card, but SD MMC memory, I assume it's just how memory called, but just want to make sure :)

What is the difference between SD and SD MMC digital camera memory cards?
All cameras that can use SD (Secure Digital) cards can also usually use MMC (MultiMedia Cards)...because they are the same physical size.


However, most, if not all people never ever use or think about using MMC.


So, don't worry about MMC....just get an SD card.
Reply:i think the difference is in the shape of the actuall card


i have an SD
Reply:An MMC Card can be read by SD Card Readers and writers.





Your camera has an SD Card but you can also use SD MMC card memory. This gives you more flexibility. Good luck !!
Reply:sd are redaers huni
Reply:MMC have an connector extra pin, adds functionality in phones so i'm told...


If you know about memory cards for phones click here?

I'm looking for a new phone and the phone I like (sony ericsson k550i) says the memory card that will fit is memory stick micro, and my memory stick for my phone, is memory stick SanDisk micro SD.Will this fit still?Because I dont want to buy it and it wont fit in.





Thanks for posting the answers

If you know about memory cards for phones click here?
That memory card will fit your sony ericsson. Make sure its not SanDisk Mini SD because those are a little bigger than the micto. The micro are very small and rectangular shape.
