It's important to transfer your images from your digital camera's memory card
It's always a good idea to free up your digital camera memory cards so that you have storage space when you need it for that next great digital photo moment. Also, a memory card shouldn't be considered as a long term storage solution for your digital photos.
Memory Cards for Temporary Storage
Digital camera memory cards are susceptible to damage and failure just like any computing device. Consider the cards as temporary holders of your digital photos. As soon as you can, transfer the digital images to a more permanent, stable storage device. Read more about caring for your memory cards in Digital Camera Memory Card Care Tips.
Transfer Digital Photos
Transfer your digital photos from your digital camera memory card to your computer, then edit, enhance and print them. It's also better for the digital memory card to do your image deleting on the computer. This increases the lifespan of the memory card, and saves digital camera battery power.
Even if you own several high capacity digital camera memory cards, it still makes economic sense to clear the memory cards down from time-to-time and delete unwanted digital photos. Digital photo storage devices (memory cards) have a tendency to fill up quickly. Besides, you're not just shooting pictures for fun, you'll want to organize the digital photos, print or e-mail the digital images, and definately keep the best digital photos for the long term.
