Well looking at the wall of a technology shop where there are many memory cards who never wandered which one to buy? Well this article will hopefully help most of the people whom have faced this problem. Well I faced it quite a few times and in one of these cases ended up with the wrong memory card, well it happens.
The first memory card that I will look at is the secure digital high capacity card (SDHC), which is one of the most common card one may find. It is the best card for a point and shoot camera and has the capability to store thousands of pictures.
The second card is the Olympus SD. This card id special for one main reason, it is only used in Olympus cameras. So if you have a quite new Olympus this it the card which you will be looking for.
Next in line comes the Memory stick pro duo, which is another special card. This is because it is the format for Sony cameras. Mainly because Sony likes to have their own format and this was what fitted the best for them.
There is also the Extreme IV compact Flash, which is a memory card that fits best the professional and semi-professional cameras. So this is a memory card that fits best the higher end cameras.
Finally there is the Video HD card, which is pretty similar to the Extreme III SDHC card. The main difference is that the Video HD card is used mainly for the small video cameras due to the fast speed, while the Extreme III SDHC card is used for basic photo cameras.
A tip that always worked with me was to take the memory card already present in your camera and take it with you. This will never fail.

Good tips. I usually just take my husband to the store with me, but in case he can't go, I'll remember to bring the original memory card.
