I am using a 192 meg card..It allows for 88 of the highest quality jpegs..I am really tempted by the new 1 gig compact flash cards..
No moving parts like the micro drive..About $250 here in the states. Then you could shoot forever without reloading..

Not that I do that very often.

A 1 gig microdrive is getting on for $300 here and 1 gig CF is roughly the same with no moving parts which seems more practical.

I agree..I have read where the micro drives can get fussy in cold temperatures and if you are shooting at high altitudes where pressure thins out...The bigger CF cards seem like the way to go.

Here I was agonizing over paying $35 for my 128Meg card..

I think I'd prefer several smaller cards rather than rely on one larger one. I've heard of people suffering bent pins when inserting CF cards into cameras but I think they must have been a bit ham fisted.

A classic case of Murphy's law! Was the card a write off or did you manage to resurrect it?
