More expensive SD cards take better pictures?

I got a HP Digital camera.


Anyway my girlfriend picked up a SD card 'Impact 1GB' I notice the pictures are a lil fuzzy. I asked her who is impact? she said it was cheap!


So do I need a expensive card for quality?


The internal card is good but I can only take 7 photos.

The memory card doesn't affect the quality of your pictures. The difference between cheap and more expensive ones is tha the latter ones have better performance: if you're taking pictures, it'll take less time for the card to process the image, so you'll be able to take more photos in less time. This is specially helpful when you're taking photos at a life event (concert, parade, fireworks). Cheaper ones take longer to save the image, which can be frustating sometimes.


However, it shouldn't have any effect on quality...it relies on the settings of the camera. Remember that if you bought a cheap camera too, probably you shouldn't expect an amazing quality on your photos.


Try to investigate online what some of the settings in your camera mean, so you can start changing them to improve the quality of your pictures. Most cameras now have several pre-arranged settings, setup for particular conditions of light and movement (like outdoors, party, fireworks, etc.) so make sure you're adjusting those settings accordingly. If you're still having problems, try to go ask for techical help, to see if there's something wrong with your camera. And even if there isn't, I'm sure they can teach you a few tips to improve the quality on your pics.
Reply:i dont think so


it depends on your camera
Reply:No the Sd cards just hold photos/videos. Some have a Faster transfer time but as for quality it wont inpact your pictures from the camera.Just make sure your Camera settings are on the "great" or "best" settings if you want really clear pictures just remember higher the setting more space Per picture. a "good" setting generally is about 100kb 800x600 i think is the size, then "great' is about 600kb-1mb. and about 1152x864, and the "best" settings generally are 2.5mb-3mb and settings are about 2400x1600 something around that.
Reply:Have you tried adjusting your picture quality settings? An SD card should take pictures that look every bit as nice as the ones you'd take with your internal camera memory.





Also, try cleaning your camera's lens with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Reply:The memory card has no effect on the quality of the image. That is the sole responsibility of the camera. Make sure the camera is set to take the highest quality picture allowable.
Reply:More expensive SD card may I said may buy you fast access time / performance (time to save picture to the card while taking pictures) but not the picture quality. The bigger higher resolution the more crisp picture you'll get and it depends on you camera.
Reply:The cost of a SD card is mostly of buying a name brand card. I got a 2 GB SD card for about 30 bucks and it works as well as any other more expensive sd card. People spend more money for the sole purpose of buying the brand name. Fuzziness on my pics are only when I am taking dark night time shots. Or unless the pictures are highly zoomed in to using the super zoom where the camera shakes. But it shouldnt be because of the cheaper memory card. Memory is Memory.
