Cameras that have non-removable storage require a cable to the computer and software which will allow the computer to download the stored images from the camera. There is no other method for transferring the images other than hard wires from the camera to the computer. The cables and the software should be included with the purchased camera. Usually cameras with this configuration are older cameras, or those that are very inexpensive. Note that the inexpensive cameras not only lack the flexibility of having removable media, but they may also have a limited resolution and limited storage capacity. |

Inexpensive Camera Easy to use - Point and Shoot

Required to download pictures when storage is at capacity. Need to have a computer handy to download images at inopportune times. Limited capacity. Since the capacity is limited, image size and quality may suffer. Cannot remove memory and replace it to continue without downloading. Sometimes an external power supply is required while downloading. |
