5.0 out of 5 stars Overkill? Not!, March 25, 2000

Uh, I think anyone who's reasonably up-to-date with today's digicams knows that a 96MB CF card can be filled easily. Assuming each 1600x1200 shot taken with a 2 megapixer occupies 1MB of memory, you will only be able to get 96 pictures on the card. With today's 3 megapixers, it just makes it seem THAT much smaller. That's why we have the 340MB microdrive nowadays. 1GB storage media the size of a CF or memory stick already exists. Anyone who claims that they have trouble filling up a 96MB card on a vacation must be using a 300,000 pixel, first-generation digicam.

5.0 out of 5 stars no such thing as too much memory, March 28, 2000

is there such a thing as too much memory? i think not. this product deserves more than one star. san disk has a great reputation and i've never had problems with any of their flash memory. if you don't need that much memory, get a smaller capacity card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not overkill! I bought two!, July 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: SanDisk 96 MB CompactFlash Card (SDCFB-96-144) (Personal Computers)

Even for a 3.34 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera (e.g. Nikon 990), this 96MB card isn't overkill, considering when each image is about 1MB at 2048x1536 at highest JPEG quality. Uncompressed TIFF files are 9MB _each_, although they're painfully slow to save. So, I bought two, and I'm thinking about getting a third one for longer trips.
