CP 995 buying compactflash

[Dennis D62537]

Hello,
Have just purchased a coolpix995 and the flashcard that comes
with the camera is to small for taking many pics! Does anyone have
any experience using shopping search sites to get the best price
on compactflash or smartmedia cards? Seems to me that this
isn't much different than buying RAM for your computer?Any suggestions
would help, thanks.

Dennis,

Memory cards are a lot less expensive now, than they were a year ago, so it's not a major investment now.

My suggestion is to buy 32 meg cards rather than one large card. If you don't have a USB card reader, I suggest you buy the Lexar card and get the reader free. I buy my cards at Wal-Mart.....

My friends and I recommend newegg.com, their Mr. Flash CF. Full guarantee. Price is about half of what you pay for other CFs. (A few on the forums have written that the 128 MB card is slow. I have it and have not found that to be so.) Please check it out: the prices will astonish you.
