Summary: "The" CompactFlash to get for your digicam
Review: The more megapixels you have, the higher the resolution pictures you take, the longer it takes to store your images to your memory card. That's a good rule to keep in mind when you are buying CompactFlash (CF) cards.When I was shopping for CF I noticed the claims by Lexar with their x4, x8, and x10 speed CF. I researched a bit on digital photography forums and found that people either stood by the Lexar brand or said "don't believe the Lexar hype". After I did a bit more research and found a couple websites that objectively completed a side-by-side comparison of all brands, speeds, and sizes of CF, the choice was clear - Lexar is faster. It might not be a true x4, x8, x10, but there is a clear speed improvement across the board over all other CF brands. If you only use your digicam to take a picture here and there, feel free to buy any other brand of CF. If you need or want the flexibility to take multiple high-resolution snapshots rapidly (like lot's of candid family shots or when you're at a sporting event) then you'll find that's where Lexar's speedy CF shines.

Summary: Best CF card around
Review: The review I read stated that you can only use the USB cable with the Lexar card. Well of course you can only use it with the Lexar card! It was never designed to be a general purpose card reader! I had one of the first 8X 80 meg cards that Lexar put up for sale. After about a year I got another 32 meg 8X card from Lexar. It was at that point that I discovered that my 80 meg card was really pretty slow. I wrote Lexar about my little problem. Lexar gave me a brand new 80 meg 8X USB enabled card for free! That is what I call great service. I now have four seperate Lexar cards. The only problem I have ever had was quickly resolved by Lexar. If one wants a general purpose card reader, they only cost about $40. In my opinion, Lexar cards are the best in the business.
