CompactFlash (CF), which weighs a half-ounce and is the size of a matchbook, is an ultra-small, removable data storage system. Introduced in October, 1994, CF provides complete PC Card-ATA functionality and compatibility. CF has built-in, industry-standard compatibility because the 50-pin CF card can be easily slipped into a passive 68-pin Type II adapter card that fully meets PC Card electrical and mechanical interface specifications.CompactFlash, available in different capacities, was SanDisk's first product based on the company's 32Mbit technology. CF has been designed into more than 200 new mobile products, and more than 135 of those products including digital cameras, HPCs and audio recorders have been introduced. CF is widely used in digital cameras, PDAs, HPCs, personal communicators, medical monitors and audio recorders because it expands the functionality of those products and enables them to be smaller and lighter.

Don't waste your money2001-12-17
This flashcard came with my new digital camera. It worked OK twice and then my printer with a flash card reader built in and my computer failed to recognize the card or that it had images on it. Don't buy this junk. I purchased a 128MB card form Viking and have not had any problems at all. A flashcard made by Viking is also much cheaper.
High quality for decent price.2001-02-06
I've had nothing but good luck with SanDisk cards. I've just started into the digital photography realm, but my experience has been very positive so far. Most complaints seem to regard formatting issues, but in many cases this can be easily handled by checking compatibility and the formatting options for the individual camera.
Okay price but there are other options2000-10-11
This card works fine (it is just a flash card), but there are other options out there that are less expensive. Make sure you are well informed before purchasing (I wish I would have been).

Also, make sure that you are purchasing the right memory for your camera or MP3 player. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong type of card for my brother-in-law's birthday. He received a new digital camera but an incompatible card.

Solution? Use the new Amazon Memory Finder or double and triple check the memory specifications. BTW the Memory Finder uses Viking Components products. They seem to have a good reputation and actually a little lower prices than Sandisk, too.

Perfect for digital cameras and handhelds. It stores images orderly but it cannot store mp3's. Overall I think it is good for storing messages and images on handhelds, but can't be used for much more. It's just your standard memory card at a pretty good price.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this.

Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
