D100 -- compact flash cards (help!)
I'm new to digital photography and may purchase a Nikon D100. What
should I be taking into consideration in selecting memory (which I understand is the compact flash card)? I'd appreciate suggestions; I don't want to find I've got too little memory to save images! Many thanks, Stuart

happy. "Stuart Phillips" wrote in message ink.net... I'm new to digital photography and may purchase a Nikon D100.

I've always had good experience with Lexar. Sandisk performs well also.
Definitely get at least a 512MB CF card or higher, especially if you use RAW format. You can get up to a 4GB card, but if I needed that much storage, I'd prefer to have several 512MB cards, just in case one fails. :-O Jay DR wrote: Stuart: The Sandisk Ultra and new Extreme cards are also excellent -- save up and get a 512MB card David "NEWS" wrote in message ... get the Lexar WA(write acceleration) 40X 512MB or above and you will be happy.

buy the Canon 10D, unless you have a huge investment in Nikon glass.
Shoot everything you do in RAW with at least a 512 Meg card. Steve "Stuart Phillips" wrote in message ink.net... I'm new to digital photography and may purchase a Nikon D100.
