Transcend HIGH Speed Multimedia CARD 1024 MB

Advantages: Wide range of uses in camera memory, pda memory and nav systems.
Disadvantages: Not a lot of info on the various differences !

..., but if you are using the card in a PDA, like I am, then speed of transfer of information is important. Once your camera goes beyond 4 megapixels, speed starts to be an issue too, by the way.! The card I have is marked MLC and is a cheaper form of storage cell, which is the slowest. You can also get standard speeds, hi-speed, and now, ultra-high speed. Standard speed is around 3 mb per sec transfer rate, high speed is around 9 mb per sec, and the ultra races along at 20 mb per sec. * Mechanics : These sd cards are solid state, and have no moving parts, so tend to be very reliable. Integral gives a 5 year warranty. * Capacity : If you are storing photos on your canera, then this 256 mb card will store about 80 taken at 6 megapixels and nearly 300 at the 2 megapixel level.

The writing speed is simply the time taken for a file or files to be copied onto the memory card. The write speed determines the overall performance of the compact flash card.

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Price

...At first the camera doesnt look too pleasing but believe me i have taken so many high quality pictures with its 2 megapixcel rate and high shutter speed as well as its excellent battery life. The camera is a little expensive at around £200 but is worth every penny and saves hundreds on film and development costs. The camera is supplied with a 16 MB card which is a little small and holds about 25 pictures at a time but memory upgrades are quite cheap and a 128 MB card can hold well over 100 great pictures. The pictures are easy to download to the computer as well as look at after being snapped due to the easy to use screen on the camera. The camera is an excellent all round camera for different events.... Read review
