Altec Lansing Compact Flash 80 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. Furthermore, just because you mostly see these being used by cameras, doesn't mean you can't use them for other things.

Advantages: Fast, Large, Effective
Disadvantages: None so far

...I've been into digital photography for a while now (around 6 years) and have seen in grow from the high end being 1.2 MP to what is is today (some in excess of 32 MP). Back in the day (a Wednesday in fact), my trusty 64 MB card got me by soundly. This is not the case anymore as I am the proud owner and operator of a Canon EOS XT Digital Rebel 6.0MP. I recently bought one of Kingston's 2GB flash cards and have been incredibly pleased with my results and experience overall. It is a very fast card and the extra space is a must. I would highly recommend this card.... Read review

...a good quality compact flash card. I believe sandisk is one of the industry standards when it comes to Compact flash cards. the one I had was originally a 32 mb one that came with my Casio e-200 PDA, but obviously that wasn't enough so I upgraded it and bought this nifty little thing. This card is also compatible with most digital gadgets. I also use it with my canon powershot a75 digital camera and it works like a charm. Very light and durable, this is a must have if you need much storage space on the go. I havent had a chance to test out the other brands of compact flash cards, but the one by sandisk definitely gets my two thumbs up!... Read review
