Figure 10-50 xD-Picture Card

EXAM TIP Some high-end cameras (notably, Nikon) use a card format

called XQD, which offers very high-speed transfers and capacities of 2+ TB.

This format is not on the exam and shouldn’t be confused with the older,

slower xD-Picture Card format that you will find on the exam. XQD is being

replaced by CFexpress (also not on the exam) that uses NVMe rather than

PCI Express for even faster transfers and lower latency.

Card Readers Whichever type of flash memory you use, your computer

must have a card reader to access the data on the card directly. A number of

inexpensive USB card readers are available today (see Figure 10-51), and

many computers and home printers come with built-in SD readers—handy to

have when you want to pull the photos from your camera for editing or

quickly print a photo.
