Nowadays, everyone is using digital cameras to take pictures and record video and events. As video sizes continue to increase due to the more recent HD formats, it is essential that you do not experience significant lagging issues.

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.

But today, these memory cards are practically useless. As a matter of fact, present-day photos can be even larger than these archaic memory cards themselves. The largest memory cards for digital cameras these days are your 32GB and 64GB types.

In fact, did you realize that there are actually different speeds that these cameras can transfer videos and images over to your computer? It's true! Transferring digital photos and video super fast is only possible if you have the right equipment.

From this point onward, we are going to discuss the ways with which you can enhance your transfer speeds and free up as much time for you as possible. We will begin by talking about the two things that cause transfer speeds to go up and down.

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.

Of all the compact flash cards available, one of the most fastest types is the Lexar Professional Series. These sophisticated cards can handle speeds of over 1000 times, which is about the same as 150MB/s of transferring 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 is easy to see that transferring your photos and videos very quickly is possible, but it requires the right memory card and card reader. With modern day HD quality photos and videos, it is essential that you use the most up-to-date equipment available.
