Owning to its wonderful picture quality as well as high resolution, Canon becomes the first choice for many photographer lovers. One more reason that it turns out to be so popular is it supports various standard storage media like SD/SDHC, Multimedia Card, MMC Plus and HC MMC Plus memory cards. Photos, videos and other multimedia file like songs can be saved there. Usually, keeping a backup of data is recommended at the very beginning in case the data was lost by mistake in the process of using the camera.
