Cheap digital camera memory cards can become corrupted and unusable. Worse yet, a traveler’s best photographs become trapped on those corrupt cards, such as a family photo in front of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, or a photo of the July 4th fireworks at the Statue of Liberty. This is why it’s always advisable to go with a name brand camera memory card for proven reliability.
A 512-megabyte compact flash card is the equivalent of about 14 36 exposure rolls of film. Memory card capacity is measured in MegaBytes, just like files that are stored on your PC.
