They are very small and thin and can hold as little as 32kb up to 2gb. They are also highly compatible and can be used with most digital cameras, PDAs and smart phones. As the oldest form of memory card they are the best option for older models which can sometimes struggle with larger sizes. Today they are also incredibly cheap and so for backing up small files or for low-spec gadgets such as digital mountain photo frames they are still a good purchase.<br /><br />Micro SD Card – The micro SD card is simply a smaller-sized SD. This means that they are more suitable for even smaller appliances such as mp3 players designed for running. Using an adapter the Micro SD card can be adapted to fit SD card slots while the larger sized cards cannot be adapted to fit smaller slots.
