Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The size of a matchbook and weighing only half an ounce, the 96 MB CompactFlash card from SanDisk is an ultrasmall removable data-storage system. CompactFlash has built-in, industry-standard compatibility because the 50-pin card can easily be slipped into a passive 68-pin Type II adapter card that fully meets PC Card electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

CompactFlash is widely used in mobile products including digital cameras, PDAs, Handheld PCs, personal communicators, medical monitors, and audio recorders because it expands their functionality and allows them to be smaller and lighter.

The SanDisk 96 MB CompactFlash card comes with a lifetime warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whole lotta pictures at a decent price!, June 10, 2000

I ordered this card for use in my Nikon Coolpix 950. When I first got it I realized that I could store over 160 photos in the 640x480 standard resolution, more than enough for a week-long vacation. But it felt like overkill (who goes on vacation for a week?)

Then I realized that I could turn the resolution up to 1600x1200, getting the most out of the 2-megapixel CCD, and still take a respectable 60 pictures. Awesome!

I recommend a USB card-reader with this size card. Sandisk makes a CompactFlash reader; but, since I also have a Rio 500 (which uses SmartMedia cards) I opted for the Viking cardreader. Either is far faster (up to 50x!) and more convenient than dealing with plugging the camera into the computer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite good, but 1 minor drawback, January 7, 2001

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

I actually bought a pair of the SanDisk 96MB Compact Flash cards to use with my Nikon CoolPix 990 on a 2 week trip to Hawaii. They worked great! They are large enough that I could shoot at a higher resolution & still take plent of shots. The one thing that I found to be irritating was that the card doesn't come with ANY kind of protective case. Even the 16MB Lexar Compact Flash card that came with my camera had a nice, hard plastic, form fitting, protective case. I managed to come up with a protective case (not quite the right size), but it would have been nice if SanDisk had packaged one with the card. Also, I have seen the price of some competing 96MB cards be a bit cheaper, but have no real regrets about what I spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have, June 12, 2000

I have the DC 290 Kodak camera. The extra stowage this card allows is added insurance you will not miss the important shot. Just pop it in and your ready again. The 16 MB that comes with the camera is alright when you are close to home and your computer, but when on a trip this gives you the added stowage needed. A must have if you have a Digital Camera. Nothing has ever been easier.
