Altec Lansing Compact Flash 128 MB

Advantages: Small, handy size, good for a few photos, or important data
Disadvantages: Low capacity for modern cameras

...CF cards have to be one of the most boring things to write about, and they are all much of a muchness in terms of manufacturing quality and durability, so I'll be brief. Altec have a good reputation, as far as I am aware, for products like these - and of the dozen or so of the memory cards I have, none have had any problems. An 8MB card will hold approx 8 hi-res photos from a decent digital camera.

The camera will take compact flash memory, if you havent got any digital memory dont worry it usually comes with 32 MB. The camera will also allow you to take videos. The camera has a built in microphone to capture sound. The video length depends on how much memory you have. The bigger the memory the better. when i purchased the camera I bought an extra battery and a 128 MB compact flash card. This has suited me for about 5 months and I do not regret purchasing this camera. Before I went on holiday I bought another memory card (256MB). With the ability to take more photographs than before I was entirely happy. When I got home I used the PC kit that was included and downloaded... Read review
