What type of memory device is best to store photos on?

Jo4

My cousin, who lives in America, wants to email photos to his Mum, who lives near me, but she doesn't have a computer. I thought he could email the photos to me and I could save them on to a memory card or usb pen for her and then she could get them printed in her local chemist. Can they be printed from a usb pen? What type of memory card is best for photos?

Which would be best a memory card or usb pen, that's if you can print photos from a usb pen in my aunts local chemist?

think you should be asking for the chemists advice on this one, i know out local boots support most camera card formats such as compact flas etc but only they will know#

Digital formats its really all you need to know, any form of digital storage only consists of storing two different values. These we will call a "0" or a "1".

All data, including music, photos, email, all have the same thing in common. They, you guessed it, they all use the form 0 and 1.
Data storage fortunately all use the similar form of 0 and 1

So it fits together quite well. Anything can go to any storage media its all the same stuff, just a large collection of "0" and "1"'s. So there is no best format for photo's it's all the same to a PC, (which use's the 0 and 1's)

Or write them to CD (if you've got a CD writer).
