Memory card reader ‘could be essential’
18 Jun 2008
One of the first extras consumers should consider when entering the realm of digital cameras is a memory card reader, one expert has suggested.
In an article this week for the American PC World website, Dave Johnson offers a number of tips on how to become a more efficient digital photographer and states buying a reader could be the first step.
Mr Johnson states that although some PCs have memory card readers built in, others do not and as such this can be an essential purchase for those new to digital cameras.
“Rather than using the USB connection cable that came with your camera, pop out the memory card and insert it in the card reader,” he states.
He adds that by doing this, consumers will not only “avoid running down your camera batteries while transferring your photos to the PC” but will also free up time to go out and take more pictures with a second card “while the first card is busy”.
Some memory card readers currently available are compatible with up to 23 different types of storage device.
