Memory card introduction

The SD Memory Card was based on the MultiMediaCard, MMC, memory card standard and has almost the same form factor, the size of a postage stamp, the only differences are that the SD memory card is slightly thicker and has a write protection switch. Since MMC cards are thinner than SD Memory Cards they can be used in all SD Memory Card slots but not vice versa.

Camera memory cards

Digital cameras have significantly decreased the need for film, though it has not thoroughly eliminated it because there are still those photographers who prefer the feel of film compared to the digital. Nonetheless, the advent of the digital age also paved the way for the rise of the memory cards.
