Compatable?..

I'm wondering if these 2 items are compatable... They both say compact flash, but I'm not sure if there are different types. I'm knew to digital cameras...

Got it!

Or would you suggest this camera instead? I'm looking at the price difference, and it is almost $50... I could pick up the USB compact flash reader for $20 or less...

oooh, get THAT instead! i thought you had no other choices - the HP is OK, but that KODAK IMO is WAY better than the HP. Plus the KODAK comes with a SEPARATE CF reader - a definite PLUS and must-have. Using the camera itself to download the pics to your comp EATS UP THE BATTERY POWER. Its better to just have a reader to download them with.

yeah, DEFINITELY get the KODAK (its smaller and much more stylish too )

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They didn't list it for a while so I thought that it was out of stock. Thanks chosen..

trust me, transferring thru the camera sucks in every way. if you can get a CF reader do it

i download though my(yearbooks) digital cam, each pic downloads in about 1 second (each pic is about 600-850k) it berly eats the battery(i have the nikon D1)(it uses firewire)

Yeah, when I was working with a Kodak before, I was able to cut and paste from the Camera's picture folder. Forgot how I did it now... it's been a while.
