Many camera and other devices do not have a hard drive to store information on them. Some of these devices are better at storing the memory than others. They use what is called SC or secure digital. Then there are many different variations of SD. One is called SDHC, and the other is called SDXC. Both are very similar in what they do, but there are many differences too.
The newer type of secure digital is SDXC. There are also different file formats for the various cards. SDHC uses a 32 FAT32, and the other one uses an exFAT type of format. SDXC has more storage than the SDHC type of cards. SDXC can hold up to 2TB.
