NJ_Jon Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 when they say compact flash on the memory card what are they meaning???Thats ONE TYPE of a memory card. Theres a few others....
sapphire Posted November 22, 2005 Author Posted November 22, 2005 i have always just bought the SD...wonder if the new camera would take the flash??? gonna have to ask
BLKFRI Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 A camera or mp3 player usually only takes one type of additional storage. You have the INTERNAL memory and then can sometimes add more by using a card. Xd, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MMC/SD(Secure Digital), Compact Flash I & II, Smart Media, & IBM microdrive. are most of the common types. The only device I know of that can take more than one type are some Sony cameras. The cards are not interchangable. You must use the card your camera was designed to use.
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 i have always just bought the SD...wonder if the new camera would take the flash??? gonna have to askWhich digital camera are you looking at? Most newer digicams accept xD or SD media.
sapphire Posted November 22, 2005 Author Posted November 22, 2005 either the Nikon 4600 on sale now or the Kodak z760
Ninasnewborns Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 My husbands Kodak easyshare takes sd. Also has a small internal memory. I had an olympus slr that took either cf or sd. My hp takes SD.
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 either the Nikon 4600 on sale now or the Kodak z760Great news, both models accept SD/MMC media check out this side-by-side comparison. Nikon Coolpix 4600 is a very nice digicam
sapphire Posted November 22, 2005 Author Posted November 22, 2005 ross i saw that compare and thats why i am having a hard time deciding...it looks like the kodak has a bit more UMPH plus the extra MP....but then i look at the sample photos and the Nikon "looks" better
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 HP and Kodak digicams aren't that great. Nikon is better if you're looking for quality and better optics. MP only matters if you intend on PRINTING your pictures.
sapphire Posted November 22, 2005 Author Posted November 22, 2005 i do print, i also e-mail a ton to England and i think they print them as well
RossMAN Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Just glancing at the comparison, two things I do like about the Nikon better are:Better video mode quality, two resolutions to choose from.Accepts regular 2xAA batteries rechargeable batteries are cheap and plentiful.
Rob9874 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Believe me, get the Nikon. I just steered my mom towards the 4MP Nikon over the 5MP Kodak at Best Buy. IMO, 4MP is just fine for printing. I have pictures that I printed off my old 1.3MP, and a 4"x6" looked fine. I have a 2MP Nikon Coolpix now, and it serves my needs just fine. No I don't print 8"x10"s either. I'd love the 4MP Nikon (and am contemplating adding it to my Christmas list). What you gain by getting Nikon over Kodak is greater than the extra MP you get with Kodak. You also have to consider that if you're emailing, your recipients may not want them larger than 1MB each, which is about 2MP. (My brother in-law told my wife that I need to learn how to take pictures, because they're always too big for his screen.) :)
