Memory cards are essential for photography and video creation. The memory card is where all of your image and video files will be recorded. Cameras have different memory card specifications, so check your device's requirements so that you know which card is compatible with your favorite camera.
Make sure you have enough camera memory on hand for your next photo or video shoot, and even more space on your external hard drive for photos and videos you want to edit and store. Select from camera memory cards, camera card readers, photo storage devices, adapters, USB drives, and more. At Samy's Camera, we offer an assortment of memory cards for cameras in sizes from 64GB to 650GB, as well as multimedia storage devices with terabytes of space so you can preserve all your photos and videos. While you're here, be sure to pick up a camera card reader so you can transfer and upload your digital content from the memory card onto your computer for editing & storage.

What Type of Storage Device Does a Digital Camera Use?
Nearly all digital cameras use removable storage like secure digital or SD memory cards for cameras. These snall memory cards -- some made especially for cameras -- allow you to remove and replace the camera memory card quickly and easily so you can have plenty of room to take new photos and videos.
How is Data Stored on a Digital Camera?
The images on a camera are saved as a series of binary 1's and 0's on either a camera memory card or disk. This data can be transferred to a computer, an external hard drive for photos, or another camera storage device for long-term storage. When accessed for editing or viewing, the computer or camera converts the binary code into a viewable image of the photo or video you took.
