so if we get what type of memory is involved( like the one on mp3 recently) what will we write?
And if we are asked about the memory in digital cameras>?

Sorry to be bothering u:unsure::eek:o_O:confused:
Basically the memory used here is quite simple to the one used in mp3/4 players. Basically multimedia files are compressed from high memory formats like avi to mp3 or mp4.
Memory in digital cameras used compact flash memory for quick retirval of files

Can you carry a memory card in your pocket and travel?
Anyways yeah! Simple, also include that they are non-volatile and NAND based memories.

5.1.2 The functions and
characteristics of storage
media
Candidates should have a good understanding of the operation of
internal memory devices such as RAM, ROM, hard disk.
Candidates should understand the operation and areas of application
for traditional external storage media such as CD-ROM, CD-RW and
DVD.
Candidates should understand the operation of other memory devices
such as:
– USB flash memories
– memory systems used in MP3/4 players
– HD cards in digital cameras
– use of modern devices in storing music and films (e.g. use of hard
drive which allows recordings to take place at the same time as
playing back files)
This is what the syllabus says... its under the topic of memories ... the internet seems to have nothing:(

this other person linkinpark on this forum just told me its solid state memory... i'm gonna lose it now... its confusing and annoying
well leave it and concentrate on other imp. topics ... hardly a 2 mark q. can come on it and you can gain one mark by writing it is a solid state memory used in digital cameras :p

see the long discussion above and what makes u so sure any proof /web site anything and i'll believe it
well i had searched it in 4 websites ...
and also in syllabus it is written HD cards used in digital cameras
so it is worth a common sense question that isnt it a storage card like an SD card ?
so if it is a storage card it has to be a solid state memory or optical :D
