Just how safe are my JPG files?

It's that time of year, school is back in and there are plenty of picture perfect moments to capture. This is Ryan's senior year and Jenn's sophomore year and both are continually asking to use my camera to take photos. What worries me most is the camera's ability to protect my jpg files from being deleted from its memory.

When I mentioned my concerns to my boyfriend, he suggested my purchasing some sort of micro sd travel card for those times when the kids have my camera. One of its features is that is has a write/protect switch which would prevent my data from anyone mistakenly deleting valuable files. I think it might be something I'd use all of the time. Goodness knows, with all of the things I photograph, I could use the extra space!

PS Maybe I'll pick up a 2 pack for twice the space, you think?

Imagine GBs of Photos ... in an ity bity space!

On my birthday last year I received a new Sony Digital Camera! It takes awesome stills and videos, and for someone who loves to take photos, this was the perfect gift. It's only limitations is storage space. There is nothing more frustrating than seeing that all too familiar message, "No memory space in internal memory."

For example, when I took pictures of the kids on prom night, I had to limit the poses as I would run out of space. I've been looking for a micro sd memory card for the camera that would allow us to take more photographs before having to transfer them, and enable us to transfer those photographs to our computers no matter where we are located. What amazes me is how many photos you can store in such a small space!

Now approaching our fifth year together, Mr.D and I have lots of pictures of events, our children, and various other subject matter that we'd love to save. Sounds like a good idea, eh?

PS Thanks again for the camera, Mom and Dad!
