Memory Card Questions

I did my own read and write tests with the basic Sandisk, Extreme 2's and
a cheap no name brand, the difference was only about 30 % across the lot,
the the specs on the better cards say that they are also more rugged and
will handle a larger range of temps etc.

I would also strongly recommend following the camera manufacturer (or
dealer's) advice on which card to use with it. My Kodak DSLR/n wouldn't
have
any truck with a FujiFilm 1GB CF Card, even though my computer would
read/write to it. Had to put in a Sandisk instead. Fuji wouldn't
admit/acknowledge any problems with their cards, but Kodak(UK) said they
couldn't get them to work, so they couldn't recommend them. Then I took
the
camera in to a branch of PC World and they let me try out a cheapo no-name
brand (I cannot even recall the name now), and that worked just fine! Go
figure.

Some of the Canons do not like some of the Lexar cards as well.

I heard that microdrives are very convenient: If you drop one, you don't
have to pick it up.
