Transferring images from a camera
1. USB cable
A USB cable will come with your camera, but if you cant find it or have lost it, you'll be able to go to find one at any decent electrical store.
2.The SD slot in your computer.
Many computers now have these and it's a very handy feature.Simply remove your SD memory card from your camera and slot into your computer. Easy as pie!
3. SD Memory Card Readers. These are really useful and fairly cheap. You can find these at all good electrical retailers and will probably cost around £10. Alternatively, search online, and you'll find one for much less.
What's the difference between a SD, MicroSD, xD and CF Memory Card?
SD cards, short for Secure Digital, are the most common type of memory cards, and have a good comprimise between size, storage capacity and speed. Most cameras will use SD memory cards. MicroSD cards are used in Mobile Phones. xD cards are slightly smaller than the SD card and are used in Fuji or Olympus digital cameras. CF cards (Compact Flash) are much bigger with greater storage and are used in high end cameras, camcorders, PDAs etc.
