Accessories
When it comes to accessories, it can be fun finding out which ones
are compatible, which ones are beneficial and which ones are right
for you.
Memory Card Readers - Can simplify the process of transferring
images to your computer and save battery power in your camera.
Rather than connecting cables from the computer to your camera, a
memory card reader is permanently attached to your computer. Simply
remove the memory card from the camera and put it in the reader and
the image files show up on your computer, just like any other drive,
ready to be transferred, copied to CD-ROM, or emailed to London
Drugs Photofinishing to be made into prints. After that you can wipe
the card clean and start all over again.
Memory Card Adapters - Similar to memory card readers, memory card
adapters plug into PC card slots, and your memory card plugs into
the adapter. PC card slots are found on most notebook computers and
offer an alternative to Memory Card Readers, which plug into a USB
port on your computer, which may be unavailable.
Add-on Lenses - Some digital cameras have the capability to add on
either telephoto or wide-angle lenses to the existing lens. The
telephoto lens can add 2x more optical zoom to your existing zoom,
so a current 3x optical zoom becomes 6x! A wide-angle adapter can
allow you to fit more into your image. Wide-angle add-ons are
available in .5x.
Camera Bags - Most digital cameras do not come with bags, leaving
you to choose a bag that best suits your needs. Be sure to protect
your investment as bags can protect your camera not only from impact
damage, but from weather elements as well, such as moisture and
humidity.
