Compact Flash Card

[Bill in SD]

I have a Nikon Coolpics 3500 and it has a wimpy 16 megabit card

I want to be able to take lots and lots of photos on a single card while on a trip.

I am thinking a 128 Megabit compact flash card would be good.

What places would you guys recommend???

Thanks
Bill

Bill,
I have the Nikon 4500, it came with the 16 mb card, first thing I did was get the 128 mb card, made all the difference, instead of taking 12 pics on card now get 75 plus.....rut

I know Costco has Smart Media cards for a good price right now, not sure about the Compact Flash Cards. Try Target or Fry's.

Bill,

Yes, go with something like the 128 MB Compact Flash card for your camera. You can't go wrong there. I'm sure you can get these at your local CompUSA or any store like that, heck even Wal-Mart too. If you want to save a few dollars take a look on eBay also.

Good luck!

Don't know how much you know about new cards, but if you do purchase one make sure you format your card on your camera and not your computer.
I've heard too many horror stories about people going on vacation,take a bunch of pics and lose them because the card was formatted wrong.

For the best price on any type of memory cards, I go to www.newegg.com I have ordered over 25 memory cards from them over the past 2-3 yrs and I've been satisfied with every single order. Their everyday low memory card prices are hard to beat and if you don't like the prices this week check back in a week or two, they are constantly getting in the cards and running specials. For their memory cards they have a $5 Fedex shipping and if you look carefully, they will often run a special for free Fedex shipping.

I have no connection with them.lol I'm just a very very satisfied customer.
