Do you think it is better to store a picture file on an XD memory card or is it not necessary?
My parents are stressing me out about this. they say that they are not going to reuse their memory card for their Olympus Digital Camera. THey have an XD M GB memory card and i told them that buying a new card instead of reusing their old one is a waste of money... Just wanted to see if anyone agrees with me or my parents and and if so what is the benefit of buying a new one every time...thanks

Answer

I definitely agree with you. Memory cards are made to be reused buying another one is pointless unless a person wants to keep something stored forever on the first one, although I cant think of any good reason for doing that it could be stored on a computers hard drive, or a cd or dvd.
