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

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.

What memory cards can be put into my Palm Tungsten E2, and actually work?

I have a Scandisk 2gb, does not work at all. What can I use? Any suggestions would be great.

The Sandisk card will work after you have formatted it in the Palm. Until you have formatted it (FAT32) the Palm wil not recognize it at all.

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.

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.


Can you use Xbox 360 memory cards for old Xbox games?

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)
Reply:also olympas


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.

SD Memory Cards - are they interchangeable ? If you buy one for a camera, can you use it to record mp2 or mp3?

I've got a new DAB radio, which takes SD Memory cards on which I can record programmes. Is this the same type of card I use in my digital camera ? If so, once I have used a card for pictures, can I then insert it into the radio and overwrite it with music ? And vice versa ?





All info gratefully received, thanks

SD Memory Cards - are they interchangeable ? If you buy one for a camera, can you use it to record mp2 or mp3?
This is called a Secure Digital card, and is interchangeable betwen any of thousands of devices that use SD cards. However, if you store music on it, you may not be able to listen to it on things like cameras, depending on your equipment, etc...
Reply:yes you can....
Reply:I think for some DAB radios you may have to reformat the memory card to make sure it's clear as files other than the ones it's able to play may confuse it (and vice versa with the camera)

Digital Photo frames for Olympus Memory Cards?

Are there any Digital Photo frames, on the market, that are compatible with the Olympus type 'M' Memory cards?

Digital Photo frames for Olympus Memory Cards?
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.
