Super Fast Transfer Speeds For Your Photos And Videos

By Mike Thompson


In today's era, virtually everybody is taking photos and recording videos with digital cameras. Videos sizes, as well as picture sizes, are continually increasing and so it necessary that you don't get delayed by slow transfer speeds.

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.

However those memory cards won't cut it today. In fact today's pictures themselves are larger than the entire memory cards of the past! Some of the largest cards on the market currently are 64 GB and 32 GB memory cards.

As a matter of fact, transfer speeds differ from camera to camera and this makes transferring photos and videos to a computer a little unpredictable. In order to make it more predictable and faster, some certain technical measures need to be enforced.

Today were going to learn how you can increase your transfer speed and valuable save time. We'll start by talking about the two most important reasons why download speeds fluctuate.

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.

Out of every compact flash card available, one of the fastest ones has to be the Lexar Professional Series. These highly advanced memory cards can deliver speeds of over 1000, which is equal to 150MB/s of transfer 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.

As you can see transferring digital photos and videos super fast is possible, but it requires the right hardware. With today's high definition videos and pictures, it is essential that you also use advanced, top-quality memory cards and advanced card readers. You'll be happy you did!
