For all you digital media buffs out there, here is a question I want to clarify. Are compact flash cards all compatible? I have a canon powershot s45 and I want to get a 256mb flash card for it, however looking at the canon branded one I am looking at $340> whereas if I go with a Kingston Genereic CF card then its only $130. Any thoughts? I am aware that speed can differ between them, but that shouldn't have much affect to taking photo's should it? |

My experience is that they are compatable. I use a 256 Mb and a 1 GB CF, different brands, but both work fine in my Toshiba handheld and my digital camera. |

I saw a US PC World test for "better" compact flash cards. These were 512 MB ones, costing US$200 more than standard ones. They gave faster saving of pictures on cameras which could use the extra speed. Some cameras couldn't. ;-)
Kingston have made a lot of money by selling totally compatible versioins of memory at lower prices. |
