Altec Lansing Compact Flash 60 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. This is obviously not a lot, but if you were doing portraits of people, or a few quick shots of certain places, keeping them on distinct cards could have its advantages.

I would highly recommend this card.... Read review

Advantages: Good Value

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. It incorporates most of the latest features and technology that is currently available on the market. Unfortunately it contributes significantly to global warming. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need.
