Compact Flash Card

Hello,

I have an old digital camera, the Nikon Coolpix e900. I’m trying to purchase a compact flash card for it but i’m running into some issues. On the manual it says the cameras takes a EC-8CF (or higher, -32CF, -63CF) and as I’m coming across other compact flash cards I’m confused on what the EC stands for? I purchased a CF card already and it doesn’t work for the camera.

I found a seller who describe their compact flash card as FC-32MH. Its a 32 MB storage card and I can’t find anywhere what’s the different. If anyone can help me that would be great, thank you.

The camera may be limited as to how large a card it can use.  Modern cards are likely too large for the camera.

That camera takes CF type I (3.3 mm thick) cards, not the CF type II (5 mm thick) ones.

The camera came with a 4GB card, so maybe don't buy bigger than that?

Got it, so if I use a modern card but find one lower in storage for example 16MB, it should be fine? Or will only older compact flash card models work? Thank you
