You can never have too many compactflash cards. I just got a new digital camera and needed an extra card, so I decided on this one from SimpleTech after reading an article comparing different compactflash cards on DP Review. I'll probably get the Flashlink reader from Simpletech too so I can get fast those pics on my PC fast!

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The SimpleTech 64MB Compact Flash Card, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Being that I only had the 8 MB that came stock with my camera the switch to the Simpletech 64MB cf card was a huge difference. I have always been happy with Simpletech products. My last purchase of the 64MB CF Card re-assured my faith in ST.

I bought the Simpletech 64 MB compact flash card and was instantly impressed with the added storage capabilities. It's inexpensive and definately worth the added functionality to use with digital cameras, PDA's and MP3 players!

I don't know about you but a mesley 8MB CF card really doesn't allow for many photos to be stored. Got one of these cards, and now I can get a decent amount of images in one shoot. Thinking about getting the 256MB CF so I can even take more images and want to also get the Flashlink reader so I can get my photos to my computer fast!

... . With my Kodak DC-240 (1 megapixel) digital camera, it accommodates over 150 photos. What can I say? I'm delighted with the sudden increase over the 8mb flash memory that originally came with my camera. ...!
