Different memory cards have different benefits - choose carefully!
Finding the right memory card for your camera can be tricky, especially if you're not confident with technology. SD cards and SDHC cards are two options with different benefits that may suit your needs.
SD Cards
SD stands for secure digital, which is a specific format within the flash card market. Flash cards are used to store data without linking to a power source. SD cards can store data such as photographs and they make it simple to delete unwanted information quickly.
SD cards can hold between 16MB and 2GB of data and mini and micro versions are available for different devices.
SDHC Cards
SDHC stands for secure digital high capacity. They are flash memory cards with a minimum capacity of 4GB although they can offer up to 32GB. SDHC Cards can be used in any compatible digital devices such as camcorders and MP3 players as well as cameras.
The SDHC is an upgraded version of the standard SD Card, offering increased capacity and higher processing speeds. Like the standard SD Cards, mini and micro versions of the SDHC are also available.
Choosing the Right Card
Deciding which type of card to use isn't just about the capacity. You need to ensure your digital device is compatible with the memory card you want to buy. There are different speeds available for SD and SDHC Cards and your manual will give specific advice about the optimum speed for your equipment. When deciding on capacity, it's worth remembering that a 10 megapixel camera will store about 770 pictures with a 2GB HD Card and around 12,320 with a 32GB SDHC Card.
