 Help!

What is the difference between a Secure Digital (SD) memory card and a Compactflash Card?  Are they interchageable/mutually compatible in a digital camera?

They are not interchangeable, but they basically do the same thing. They are both digital storage, when used in a camera they will store your digital images. SD is a much newer technology, meaning it is smaller and faster. If you are trying to choose a camera with either SD or Compact Flash, I would suggest SD.

Thanks for that - Well explained. I am buying more memory for my camera which uses compactflash.
