The great news is that since switching to digital, you never need to buy film again. The flip side is that you need to buy a memory card, which can be confusing and expensive. A few facts can take some of the mystery out of choosing a new memory card.
Instructions
1. Identify which kind of memory card your digital camera takes. If you bought your camera new, chances are that it came with a small, inadequate memory card to get you started. Take a look at that card to see what format the card reads. Possible choice include xD, Compact Flash I and SD. If you don't have a card, check the media slot on your camera. If that doesn't help, type your camera brand and model number into an Internet search engine. You should quickly find some camera reviews, which you can search for answers.
2. Consider how much memory you need. Generally speaking, you want as much as possible. Pictures take up extensive memory, and the more megapixels your camera captures, the more memory you'll need. Aim for 1 gigabyte or more. Always get more memory than you think you'll need.
3. Consider the brand of the card. Every manufacturer recommends using its own brand of memory card, but often the brand does not matter very much. If your Fuji camera takes an xD card, but the Olympus xD card is cheaper, go for it.
4. Check membership savings stores for unadvertised bargains. Selection is hit or miss, but the savings can be significant.
