Digital Camera - Here's A Guide On How Best to Get All Digital Gadgets Connected by Tabitha W Mwendo

It is all perfectly having a camera, Laptop or computer and other kit, but now you need to get them to talk with each other. Here's a guide about how best to get all kinds of things connected.

USB Connections:

The most common form of connection for a digital camera to modern PC is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connection. This has recently been improved with the introduction of USB 2.0, which provides increased data flow speeds. Your keyboard, mouse, printer and scanner probably use USB. All digital cameras have a USB port for connection to a PC, and your camera should come with a USB lead as standard. This makes it very easy just to plug in and connect your PC to your camera, so you can download images for editing and printing. USB also enables 'hot swapping', which simply means you can plug or unplug the cables without needing to restart your computer or the device.

You camera will also probably come with a video lead which will allow you to connect your camera direct to TV to show pictures on screen. There are other forms of interface, the name given to connecting various digital devices to a PC, and some system will have one, two, or all of them usually depending on the price of the system.

FireWire Fast Data Connection:

FireWire is technically called IEEE 1394. It is a fast data cable connection common to higher-end digital cameras such as D-SLRs and most modern PC systems. FireWire is faster than 'normal' USB connections but not as fast as USB 2.0 and hot swappable. You'll also find FireWire on best digital camcorders and on some high-end printers and scanner.

Wireless Connections:

You'll rapidly see that wires abound with all these interfaces, so if you can afford it, consider wireless networking or Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) connectivity. Wi-Fi devices transmit data in a waveform and can connect together multiple devices, such as a printer PC or camera, without any cables. Often use for notebook and laptop PCs. Wi-Fi also mean you can work anywhere in the home, not just sat at a sat at a desk. Any hardware bought that displays the Wi-Fi logo should interconnect seamlessly with any other Wi-Fi enabled device. It can work at distances of up to 350 feet, depending on the type of connection.

Connection Speed:

It may come as no surprise that the faster the rate at which data is transferred the faster you can work and each of the main connection options has different connection speeds. We don't have to worry about the exact rate they work at, but it's useful to know which is fastest.

- Bluetooth: Bluetooth is very slow when compared to cable add to Wi-Fi connections.

- USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.0: This is pretty much the slowest wired connection and is being phased out and replaced by USB 2.0.

-Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi connections are getting faster all the time but are relatively slow compared with a direct USB 2.0 or FireWire connection. Also, Wi-Fi speed is affected by the number of obstacles in the way (number of walls and size of the room for example). The latest type (802.11g and fastest 802.11a) offers the greatest range and speed.

-FireWire/IEEE 1394: FireWire is fast and very common and offers connections fast enough for image and video transfer without problems.

-USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0: This new USB connectivity allows very fast connectivity and is slightly faster than FireWire.

Bluetooth is another example of wireless networking and can be found on many modern mobile camera phones. It is a common wireless interface for up to eight devices over a range of about 30 feet. If you have a Bluetooth-enable printer, you could print images directly from a Bluetooth camera without needing a physical wire for example. Not as flexible or fast as Wi-Fi, it still saves on wires.

Conclusion - USB 2.0 is key for swift connectivity as it makes connection of your digital camera to your PC or printer, very easy. It provides fast communication between devices, ideal for printing or transferring images.
