Memory Cards
No matter how many memory cards a photographer has, they can always use more. New, high-resolution cameras need more memory and running out of memory is one of the worst things that can happen to a photographer. Memory cards have come down a lot in price over the past few years and you can now buy 2 GB or more for well under $50. Before you buy, make sure you know what kind of memory card your photographer needs. Most recent point-and-shoot cameras use SD (SecureDigital) memory cards (Olympus and Fujifilm use xD Memory Cards and Sony compacts use Memory Stick or Memory Stick Duo). Most digital SLRs use CompactFlash memory but some entry-level DSLRs like the Nikon D60 and the Canon XSi / 450D use SD cards. For more on digital camera memory cards, check our Digital Camera Memory Guide. And to be absolutely sure you get the right kind of memory, figure out a sly way to ask your photographer what kind of card their camera uses. You don’t want to buy the wrong memory.
