Memory Cards

[Johnie]

I broke the digital camera during our Dec trip. Well, it's not broken, the camera works but needs duct tape to keep the batteries in :rolleyes:

So, I am looking at other digital cameras. What a PITA this is. Is there a site that will tell you what memory cards each camera uses? I have a boatload of Compact Flash cards. I would really like to find another camera that uses that instead of having to buy new cards.

Moving to gadgets and gizmos....

www.dpreview.com lists most cameras and specifications.

I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying all canons take cf cards.

Erm, usually they do tell you? I don't know what flash cards are, but good luck! Maybe Best Buy would tell you, or maybe even Ebay.

Josette,
They do tell you what cards are needed. But, I didn't want to have to open up each and every camera to look. I'm being lazy.

Thanks for the link Keith. I have a Kodak. Seems all the new Kodaks take a SD card.

SD is a newer standard than cf, smaller but with similar capacities (not quite as large but getting there). I suspect Canon may move to sd in the future but right now they seem to prefer cf.

I bought a Canon A75 before going to WDW because we had a lot of CF cards. The photos that i have got are really good from the A75.:D Would recommend it the only problem is it weighs slightly more than usual due to it taking 4AA batteries. It is light on batteries as i only had two sets in during the 2 weeks.and i took around 1000 photos.
