Digi Cams

Step 1: Determine which memory card your camera has (SD card, micro SD Card, XD Card, Sony Memory Stick, etc)

Step 2: Determine which connection your smartphone or computer has (iPhone 12, 13, 14 = Lightening, iPhone 15 = USB C, Computer = USB 2.0 or USB C)

Step 3: Purchase suitable ‘card reader’. Note: You can purchase readers that have multiple card insert slots (e.g. you could use SD card, micro SD Card, XD Card etc.)

For example: 

If you have an iPhone 14 (Lightening connection) and Canon IXUS 80 IS (SD Card), you will require a ‘Lightening to SD Card Reader’.

Or

If you have a Laptop (USB C connection) and an Olympus FE-140 (XD Card), you will require a USB C to XD Card Reader’.

From my experience, anything under 8 Megapixels (MP) is best for the vintage, grainy, nostalgic style film photos. 

Megapixels (MP) are the amount of pixels (small coloured square) within an image, the higher the MP = the higher density of pixels, meaning the higher quality the photo. 

If there are less MP, then there is a grainer photo taken with less ability to crop the photo. 

I get this questions a lot! 95% of the time it is due to having the incorrect SD card memory size. Lots of digicams are from the 2000s, meaning they do not support newer style SD cards with larger GB storage. You typically need SD cards with lower GB sizes (e.g. 512 MB, 1GB, 2GB).

Before you purchase an SD card for your digicams, you should search the following on Google: ‘you camera model, Max SD card size’ (E.g. Canon Powershot A460, Max SD card size). 

Typically if the GB size required is under 8GB, you will need to purchase it online from somewhere like Ebay. 

Typically, if the GB size required is under 8GB, you will need to purchase it online, as no department stores stock them.
