paypalPayment via Paypal

Paypal is a good option for both buyer and seller as it offers significant fraud protection. However it does take more time to setup as a new user than Paymate.

Q. What are the different types of memory cards?
A.There are many types of memory cards (PC Card, CompactFlash, Smart Media, Memory Stick, Multi Media, Secure Digital, and XD Picture). The following gives a brief description for each type:

 

PC Card/PCMCIA

The PC Card (also known as a PCMCIA card) is one of the earliest types of memory cards that were used in digital cameras. The PC Card was originally developed to provide expandable system memory for portable computers, and was also a medium used to load programs on to early portable computers. The PC Card is generally larger in size also uses a lot of power. Cameras that used these memory cards had to have large batteries and used the batteries up very quickly. The PC Card is a very common type of card, which is still used in laptop computers as a means to add functions such as modems, network connections, and for transferring large files between computers. They are also very durable, and is well shielded from electromagnetic fields by it's metal casing.

 

Sandisk Compact Flash MemoryCompactFlash

The CompactFlash memory card was developed soon after the PC Card, and in many ways is simply a smaller version of the PC Card. This was the first type of memory card that was developed for use in digital cameras. The CompactFlash Memory card has all of the same advantages as the PC Card, but is smaller. The CompactFlash Memory card is currently the most common type of memory card used in digital cameras, and is compatible with all current professional digital cameras. CompactFlash Memory cards have a control circuit built right into the memory card. This circuit allows the card to "tell" the camera or computer how much capacity it contains so the camera or computer can take advantage of all the available memory.

The CompactFlash Type II, or more commonly known as the Microdrive Card, is similar in size to the but is thicker. They contain a tiny hard drive. These memory cards are available in very large capacities (currently up to 1 GB) and are fairly inexpensive. But this type of memory card is not durable. They are sensitive to impact and vibration and can be damaged if dropped. They also do not tolerate drastic changes in temperature.

 

Sony Memory Stick ProMemory Stick

The Memory Stick was developed by Sony. The Memory Stick memory card is well shielded and durable like the CompactFlash memory cards but is much smaller to allow it to be used in smaller products such as compact digital cameras, PDAs, and MPEG players.

The Memory Stick is used mostly with Sony products and allows you to transfer data between Sony’s PDAs, televisions, computers, and cameras. This is very convenient if you only purchase Sony products. Sandisk’s memory stick is compatible with Sony products.


Sandisk SD Card
Secure Digital (SD Card)

The Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card is similar to the MultiMedia Memory Card in appearance and is compatible with the MultiMedia Memory card. It is a highly secure stamp-sized flash memory card. Jointly developed by Panasonic, Sandisk, and Toshiba, the Secure Digital Memory Card maintains a high transfer rate for fast copy/download.

It also exhibits low power consumption to maximize battery life in small portable devices; making it a good choice for digital cameras and other portable digital devices. The Secure Digital Memory Card is distinguishable from the Multi Media Memory Card by the user selectable mechanical write protect switch on the exterior card casing.

 

XD CardXD Picture Card
(Extreme Digital)

Developed by Fuji film and Olympus, the xD-Picture Card is a high-capacity flash memory format for digital cameras. The xD-Picture Card is currently the smallest storage format of its kind on the market, about the size of a penny. It has the potential for up to 8GB of storage capacity in a single card. Currently, the xD-Picture card is available in capacities up to 512MB.

Fujifilm and Olympus offer cameras compatible with the xD-Picture Card. In addition, the xD-Picture Card was designed to minimize power consumption, saving battery life and with fast read/write capabilities for smoother digital camera operation. Compact Flash adapters are available, allowing the use of xD-Picture cards in a variety of cameras and other devices from multiple manufacturers.
