Of course, Fan's worries are not unreasonable.

With the continuous emergence of camera phones, camera phones, and music phones, new requirements have been put forward for the size of mobile phone memory.

For most users, a small memory card is more advantageous.

Today's mobile phones are no longer limited to phone calls, but will evolve more towards mobile music players, mobile offices, and even mobile theaters. Although the storage capacity of flash memory has increased, if you want to store GPS map data, several sets of movies, video games, lecture archives, and other applications in your phone, small memory cards are no longer enough.

This makes the market urgently need to increase the capacity of mobile storage, and mobile phone manufacturers have also adapted to market demand and upgraded their products to support mobile phone storage expansion, thereby improving the storage space of mobile phones and making mobile phones more powerful.

With the increase in the number of mobile phone applications, the addition of music MP3 and camera functions, the demand for flash memory capacity from end customers will continue to increase, and the flash memory market will continue to grow.

Fan's investment group has been unique and profitable in memory production, and has occupied a place in the flash memory market for more than two years, but the most important point is that it has not yet formed its own standards, and it still has to follow others.

This is a thing that makes Fan Wuxian feel depressed, but if he wants to set his own standards, he needs the approval of many customers with relatively large memory and flash memory needs in addition to his own companies before it can be finalized.

In principle, there is no essential difference between the flash memory cards used in mobile phones and the flash memory cards used in digital cameras.

In fact, in China, with the improvement of everyone's living standards, more and more consumers who intend to buy digital cameras have been used for as little as half a month or as much as one or two months in the preliminary research time, and they have basically thoroughly touched the market, products and functions.

However, that's not all there is to it. Because it is directly related to the speed of the camera, the size of the flash memory card that will be spent in the future is also an aspect that cannot be ignored. When purchasing, do not ignore the choice of card, you will be happy and comfortable in the actual use of digital cameras, and do not have to worry about negligence when purchasing.

As digital cameras continue to move towards higher pixel levels, speed has become a key constraint for digital cameras with more than 3 million pixels. The flash memory card directly affects the key link in the operation process of the digital camera, that is, the storage and retrieval of photo data.

The solution to this problem depends to a large extent on the storage medium itself.

Today, high-speed flash memory cards can cut data write times by nearly half, and the excessively long read and write speeds of ordinary flash memory cards are a problem for digital camera consumers.

And there is also a compatibility problem that can not be ignored in flash memory cards, whether it is output to the computer for viewing, saving, or printing through the computer, if the compatibility of the flash memory card used by the camera is not good, it is often because it does not support some operating systems, or it is difficult to connect directly with the computer, so that consumers are quite troubled in the use process, and even increase expenses.

Another point is that different flash memory cards are sold differently.

At present, the memory card that comes with a digital camera is often only 16MB or 32MB, which is far from meeting the needs of consumers to travel or shoot at will.

For this reason, most users will buy a 64MB or 128MB flash memory card after purchasing a phone. Because you can only buy flash memory cards for cameras, if you buy a digital camera that uses flash media such as memory sticks and XD, you need to be prepared for higher expenses, because the price of these flash memory cards is relatively high.

For photography enthusiasts and professional users, the size of the memory card and the upgrade space are directly related to the practicality of the digital camera. If you choose a flash memory card with limited capacity, it is likely that you will be constrained by too small capacity during use, and even miss a lot of beautiful scenery or capture of emergencies, which is very regrettable.

Among the several flash memory cards currently on the market, the CF card is undoubtedly quite bright, and it has two advantages: first, because it follows the standards set by the Pocket Flash Memory Association, it can ensure good compatibility; Second, because its PC card adapter only provides the conversion of the interface, there is no internal chip, so the cost is very low.

As a flash card with the longest history and the most popularity, the price has been relatively low under the economies of scale and full competition, which is in line with the purchase level of most ordinary consumers.

As far as users are concerned, the CF card has a built-in ATA/IDE controller, with plug-and-play function, and can be compatible with most common operating systems such as indos98 and indos2000. With the PC card adapter, the CF card can be read and written in any PC card drive, which is very convenient to use with laptops, and some laptops even include a CF card slot as standard.

In terms of capacity, the CF card is also the well-deserved champion among cards at the moment, and its capacity is more than enough even for professional users and high-resolution digital cameras.

However, as consumer-grade digital cameras continue to develop towards lightweight and portable pocket-sized, the relatively large size of CF cards is being abandoned by more and more manufacturers.

There is one more thing that has to be mentioned, which is the ** card.

As a flash memory specification that was once promoted by manufacturers such as Fujifilm and Olympus, the ** card was also full of glory yesterday. However, due to the excessive defects and limitations in practical application, the future of ** is destined to end dismally.

First of all, because it does not have a built-in controller, it needs the digital camera to have the corresponding functions, so its performance in terms of compatibility is very poor, and secondly, the first card uses a single chip for storage, and the capacity development is very limited, and the maximum capacity that can be seen at present is only 128MB, and it is the same as the CF card, the volume is too large, which does not meet the slimming trend of household digital cameras.

Another type of memory stick that is quite mainstream in the market is a new storage media that uses flash memory chips released by Sony two years ago. Slightly smaller than a piece of chewing gum and weighing only four grams, the standard memory stick has a rectangular shape that allows it to be flexibly adapted to a wide range of conditions.

In addition to the regular blue memory sticks, companies such as Sony have also launched the Magic Gate memory stick. Developed by flash memory giant SanDisk in partnership with Sony, the latest Memory Stick PRO format features high capacity, high-speed data transfer, high security, and broad scalability.

Others, such as SD cards and XD cards, also have various problems.

Choosing the right memory card is very important, especially as a professional digital camera user and photography enthusiast, on the one hand, to take photos on the go, on the one hand, on the other hand, to take a lot of continuous photography and high-resolution photo tasks. Therefore, the selection of flash memory cards focuses on two aspects: capacity, upgrade potential, and access and read and write speeds.

For home users, capacity is not a key factor, and generally speaking, as long as you have a 128MB flash memory card, you can meet the needs of regular travel.

In a way, speed and price are important considerations for home users. Even if it is not used for snapshots and continuous shooting, the role of speed should not be underestimated, just like the speed of the Internet, everyone wants to be faster, faster.

For the price, the XD card is the most expensive, the Sony memory stick is in the middle, and the CF card is relatively speaking, it does not need to bear too much expenditure.

In fact, Fan Wuxian also noticed that in the actual purchase of consumers, many people once they recognize the cheapness of the CF card, even if a camera function and appearance are good, just because it is not a CF storage medium, the same will not be bought, and there is another point, that is, non-promos do not buy, this is a more common phenomenon, many friends in the purchase of digital cameras more than ask the merchant to give a random gift of a 128MB of the same type of flash memory card, if the merchant does not agree, will choose to buy in those who give away flash memory cards.

For these two behaviors, there is actually nothing to say, because the reason is very simple, the wool is out of the sheep, even if the merchant randomly comes with a 128MB flash memory card, it is not necessarily that the consumer is picking up the cheap, the key depends on the quality of the camera itself, the price and after-sales service.

For example, although CF flash memory cards are cheap, except for the Canon A series, which continues to use CF cards, F flash memory cards are not as advantageous as new media in terms of camera speed, data reliability, and future development.

Moreover, the body of digital cameras using CF cards nowadays is inevitably a little large, which is far from the fashionable and popular small body.

To become a manufacturer of memory cards, the production threshold is getting higher and higher, and its memory cards are not only shorter, thinner and lighter, but also put forward higher requirements for their capacity and read and write speed.

Among many manufacturers, the most eye-catching performance is still some old memory manufacturers. They have become important suppliers in the global memory card market by relying on their good relationships with flash memory vendors, their familiarity with the business models of the storage market, their unique and leading packaging technology, and their low and flexible manufacturing costs.

In addition, integrated circuit packaging technology has become a key area in the design and development of high-speed and high-performance electronic systems in the world today, and the technical performance of memory cards must be solved by packaging technology, and only with packaging technology can we continue to develop storage products.

Therefore, while promoting the market, it is more important for manufacturers to master the core key technologies.

Although Fan's Investment Group has been prepared for the relevant aspects, but once it wants to get involved in this field, it needs to have an absolute advantage.

There are no pop-ups
