Storage was and is an important factor of today’s imaging world. When we look at the flash card solutions, we see an impressive increase of storage capacity and a considerable drop in price. Moreover, flash memory becomes an important medium for today’s digital camcorder. Thanks to the fact that the usage of flash memory cards, less energy is needed and the data is protected in a better way against shocks from outside. Flash memory is also the one and only storage medium for the mobile phone. Where the digital camera was the driver for flash memory, the mobile phone is without a doubt today’s driver. Other storage solutions are Blue-ray, hard disks and even online storage. Due to the increase of high resolution material, HD movie recording or hi-res photo shooting, more data need to be stored and archived, so the demand for hi-speed storage and large storage capacities continues to increase significantly. At the Photokina 2008 show, all storage manufactures will introduce and unveil their latest storage solutions.
