I can't answer your question in a way you'd understand within the space I'm allotted. So I recommend that you go to the web site "www.ask.com" that would explain things to your understanding.

Yes - they are physically the same size - just more storage. The main thing to make sure is just that you have the right type of card - as long as your camera takes the 'xD' size then you are good to go. Think of it like buying a usb stick / thumb drive - same physical size / designed to same specs but can come in different storage sizes.

Physically, SD cards are the same size unless you're referring to mini-SDs which are very small but still work in a standard SD slot by using an adapter that usually comes with a mini-SD. The difference in SD cards is internal and has to do with speed and capacity. The IOEGA MediaShair has the standard SD slot that will except any SD card.

SD card is a memory card. There are a few different kinds- SD, XD, SmartMedia, CompactFlash, etc.SD is rectangle shaped with a corner missing.Here's a link to show the differences:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_memory_cardsJust walk into any electronics store and tell them you need an SD card for a digital camera, they'll be able to help you.You probably won't need more than a 512MB- but I don't know if they even sell those anymore. Get a 1GB or a 2GB. I got a 2GB SD card at Target for $8.88 the other day (they're regularly $18.99).

As a rule of thumb, the read/write performance will be affected by the size, but not proportionally. For example, a 4GB card will be slower than a 1GB, but not 4 times as slow. These cameras do benefit from fast card, especially when taking advantage of the burst mode. I would recommend getting the fastest card you can find. If you want high capacity and speed, it might be better to get a couple 1 or 2 GB cards.

you have to buy one. I think you have to buy one for any digital camera that you buy. I've never heard of one coming with a memory card before.

I think its the fastest CF card you can get, its 800 Mbs per second. whereas Sandisks are only a fraction of this speed

The micro sd card is a memory card. You plug the sd card into the USB adapter and then plug it into a PC so that you can view what's on the sd card. Hope this helps.

"Flash" refers to the type of memory upon which the data is stored. In other words it uses an SD card.

Sure, both they work. The only difference is that the first memory card is faster than the second one to memorize the shoot info.

The card uses an express card slot. It is not compatible with your flash card slot.

A flash drive is a memory device, as is the SD card in the Canon camera. You'll need to upload the photos to an intermediate device, such as a desktop or laptop computer. From there you can save the pictures to a flash drive.

Andrew, as long as your computer is able to read a flash card you should be fine. The main difference between SD, SDHD and flash cards is the storage capacity and transfer speed. Unless your computer really ancient it should have a multi card reader built-in that will work.

Yes, in fact, it works better with a usb flash drive than with a memory card from a camera. I've had the memory cards to work for a while and then for some reason suddenly it wont recognize that there are pictures on the card but my computer can still read them. I've used as high as 8 MB USB flash drive with no problems.

That would depend on the amount of memory found on the SD Memory Card (which must be purchased separately). I do not believe using flash has any effect on the space the picture takes on the card, though.

An sd card is an sd card. You take the card out of the camera and stick it in the viewer.

The size of the memory cards are a great advantage! Both physical size and of the storage capacity. While both types of devices one can record on are portable, memory cards are just much smaller, and the potential for greater recording time (and in higher quality) comes with that as well.
