A lot of people fork out big money on memory cards that store a lot of data on them. There are some people who spend a lot of money on 16GB memory cards and this would enable them to store at least 12,000 photos. I know that people like to take pictures but surely a bit excessive. I actually believe that there are good reasons why people shouldn't have memory cards of this size, and here's why.
The Disadvantage Of Having A Memory Card With A Large Memory.
One disadvantage of having a memory card with a large memory is that it tempts us to use it for storage. And although you may think that there is nothing wrong with this, I have had to learn the hard way why this is not always a good idea. A few months back I lost all of the data from my memory card and this included over three year's worth of photos; thousands of them. I have been to see a few data retrieval experts and they told me there is nothing that can be done. I have been told that these memory cards are not intended for long term storage and that this quite often happens.
So now I only use a 1GB memory card as it is enough for my photos for any one occasion and it means that I have to transfer them before I can use it again. It is also cheaper for me to use a memory card this size. So if you want to ensure that you regularly take your photos and store them elsewhere then this size is perfect especially for those who only take photos with their camera. But you might need a memory card which is a bit bigger in size if you are planning on taking video with your camera.
Memory card readers are used in many products today. 4GB Micro SD cards can give you a great example of a memory card. One more that you could find on your travels is the compact flash.
