CompactFlash is the world's most popular removable mass storage device. The CompactFlash card is about the size of a matchbook and only weighs half an ounce. The card was designed based on the popular PC Card (PCMCIA) standard and can easily be slipped into these slots with the use of a low-cost adapter. CompactFlash technology has resulted in the introduction of a new class of advanced, small, lightweight, low-power mobile products that significantly increases the productivity and enhances the lifestyle of millions of people. These products include digital cameras, digital music players, desktop computers, handheld PCs (HPCs), personal communicators, Palm PCs, Auto PCs, digital voice recorders and photo printers. SanDisk, the inventor of this product, has led the market for CompactFlash since its inception.
1 Good Brand- Get A Bigger Card
Sandisk has been a very reliable brand for me. However 64 MB is not enough capacity for anything except a 1 megapixel camera. If your camera is above 2 MP, get a couple of 256MB CF cards. If you're at 4 MP or over, get a pair of 512MB cards. Don't put all your eggs in one basket with one huge card- if it goes bad while shooting, you're sunk. Lexar is also a very reliable brand of CF card. Don't worry about the write/read speed of the card- that's mostly a waste of time unless you're a pro photographer shooting with a $5000 camera.
2 Best of the Best
SanDisk is one of those companies that has never failed me. In my line of work, I sometimes put my camera and media cards to the test. Every SanDisk card I have ever used has been able to keep up with the demands I've place on them. They are some of the best products I have ever purchased, unlike a PNY card that broke after only one use! Regardless of what format you need, I highly recommend this and other SanDisk products.
