If you're confused by all the different types of memory cards then give a look-see to our Flash Memory Cards information page. We cover the types of cards and their capacities from CompactFlash to xD-Picture Cards.

And if you have a need for large capacity CF or SD card for a dSLR or prosumer camera then be sure to see our High-Capacity Storage Options page too.

With all the new and inexpensive 2GB and 4GB SD cards out there a lot of people are tempted to buy one. Make sure your camera can handle a capacity over 1GB or 2GB before buying the card - most modern cameras can use up to 2GB but most CANNOT use a 4GB size card.

NOTE that a lot of our reviews were written BEFORE large SD cards (over 1GB) were available -- and only some ofthe verynewest 2006 cameras can use the new SDHC type SD cards.

These pages need a quick updating when time permits. The CF page says capabilities up to 12GB. They are now selling cards at 32GB and 64GB are coming very soon (this fall will be on sale). 16GB are being sold in large quantities these days according to newegg.com. Also under xD cards are now available up to 2GB (not just 1GB).
