All Eggs One Basket
This topic came to me in the form of an email I received asking about a particular memory card and a camera compatibility question as well. I took the liberty to question the memory card size and bring to light that you should not have all eggs one basket. They say to never place all of your eggs in one basket. Whoever "they" are... I feel the same way about not capturing all of your images on one memory card. There are a few things to consider when selecting your memory cards, price, Class, read speed, write speed, capacity, card type, version, etc. for instance: a common memory card type is an SDcard or Secured Digital Card, but there are SD cards, SDHC cards, SDXC cards; then you have Class 1, 2, 3, 4, ... 10. The higher the class the better the card (typically).

A short list of different memory cards:
- Secure Digital card (SD) (SDHC) (SDXC)
- MiniSD Card with an SD card adapter
- CompactFlash (CF-I) (CF-II)
- Memory Stick
- MultiMediaCard (MMC)
- SmartMedia
- xD-Picture Card
- XQD\\xa0CompactFlash
Too many cards and too little time. Not really, just do your homework and research the card type and capacity your camera may support. Protecting your images should be a high priority and the cards these day are so stable you can get away with some crazy stuff but do yourself a favor and no not put all your eggs in one basket.
