Just like a traditional analogue camera needs film, a digital camera needs memory to store your photographs. Most digital cameras come with a pitiful amount of internal memory, so you are almost required to buy a memory card as your first accessory.

After having bought the first one, you should consider investing in one or more extra memory cards. These cards are an extremely portable accessory and the price of storage is decreasing quickly, and you will be able to do much more with your digital camera if you have the possibility to take lots of pictures between stops to a PC where you can store your pictures.

If you are about to take a vacation in remote places where you will be unable to transfer the images, and with no shops readily available in the vicinity, you will quickly appreciate the freedom of not having to ration your pictures.

The best thing about having lots of memory, and being able to take lots of pictures, is that it will change the way that you use your camera. You will be able to take advantage of advanced settings such as burst mode, to capture sports events or highly dynamic subjects, and to select the best picture at ease afterwards.

With many digital cameras, you can take a single shot and the camera will automatically save several, with different lighting and exposure conditions. As a result a single picture will morph into four or five onto your storage card, which is why you will need a lot of storage.

Imagine being in a remote location and being able to take a daily average of two hundred of pictures of interesting subjects, and not of twenty. Would that make a difference on the way that you photograph?

Extra digital camera memory cards will also diminish the risk that you will fill up the available storage and that you will have to delete great pictures to make space for new ones.

So as you can see, there are several reasons why extra digital camera memory cards as accessories is a sensible proposition. When you buy them, be especially attentive to getting the ones that are the right format for your camera, there are several manufacturers and not all storage cards are compatible across cameras.

Modern memory cards for digital cameras can have over thirty gigabytes on a piece of plastic and circuitry as big as a thumbnail. As a guideline, take as much memory for twice as many pictures that you would expect to shoot on a trip. Spread over three or four cards and not all on one, for extra security.

Also, if you are going with multiple memory cards as part of your digital camera accessories, you should also consider a card reader, which will allow you to seamlessly transfer your pictures from the card to a PC, or even directly to a digital photo printer, via a USB connection.
