By Mike Thompson


These days everybody is using a digital camera to record home videos and special events. With video sizes ballooning due to new HD formats, it's critical you don't get bogged down while transferring.

In the recent past, it wasn't uncommon for photos to take up very little space. However, as time went on, the file sizes of digital media has exponentially increased that has caused many a delay whilst transferring photos and videos to and from the computer. When digital cameras first arrived onto the scene, the typical memory card ranges were 8MB, 32MB and 64MB.

With modern day digital photography, these memory cards have now become virtually extinct. Some of the pictures that can be taken with modern day digital photography can be substantially larger than the aforementioned memory cards themselves. These days, you can find the more appropriate 32GB and 64GB memory cards.

As a matter of fact, transfer speeds differ from camera to camera and this makes transferring photos and videos to a computer a little unpredictable. In order to make it more predictable and faster, some certain technical measures need to be enforced.

Today were going to learn how you can increase your transfer speed and valuable save time. We'll start by talking about the two most important reasons why download speeds fluctuate.

The very first reason is the camera to card loading speed. This is mainly an issue of memory within the cameras itself and in order to fix this, you would simply need to get a faster memory card. Some of the more recent models of cameras will have burst modes, which take many pictures very quickly in succession. However, this also uses up the memory very fast as well.

One of the fastest Compact Flash cards on the market is the Lexar Professional Series. This advanced card can max out at speeds over 1000x, which is equivalent to 150 MB/s transfer speed.

The second thing to keep in mind about transfer speeds is the type of card you are using. The most recent card readers use the modern USB 3.0 and is up to 5 times faster than the older USB 2.0 version. If you haven't seen how fast the USB 3.0 is, then hopefully you will soon. The major benefit of these is massively cutting down on waiting times, as you can transfer things high quality pictures an videos in minutes rather than hours.

It should be evident that being able to transfer your digital photos and videos extremely quickly is more than possible, but requires the right tools. As HD videos and photos are becoming more mainstream, it is vital that you get the most advanced memory cards and card readers to make the most of your digital photography experience.
