"Each comes with a mind-blurring array of specifications and options: CompactFlash or SmartMedia storage? One, 2 or 3 megapixels of resolution? ...." "Picture storage and battery life are also important factors to consider. The former comes in two types: SmartMedia cards, used mainly on Olympus and Fuji digicams, now range up to 64 megabytes in size, while CompactFlash memory cards, used in the majority of digicams, have leapfrogged ahead to 160 megs and up. IBM has upped the ante with an even bigger format called "CompactFlash II"; it uses the world's smallest hard drive to park up to 340 megs of picture information, although few cameras support this yet (Canon and Casio are notable exceptions). With either standard, expect to pay about $2 per megabyte, which is cheap for digital-camera history but horribly expensive compared to hard drives." washingtonpost.com
