Jason, the Nikon 775, according to reviews at least, is easier to use than the 950-990 series. I haven't had a chance to try the 775 so I can't speak from experience. There is a Canon model with similar size and specs, which may be even easier to use than the Nikon. A friend of mine is using the Canon S-1 and has little experience with cameras. She is getting exceptionally good results. I don't know if the Lexar CF works faster in these smaller Nikon cameras, or if the higher speed, compared to other makes of flash cards, is applicable only to the professional Nikon cameras. The sites where test results are published have concentrated on the professional series. We also do not know if the latest model SanDisk cards have improved speed. If I were in the market, I would try to see the various competing makes demonstrated. One other factor that can influence card read/write speed, or the waiting time between making a photo and being ready for another, is the availability of a buffer in the camera, allowing bursts of shots. A sufficiently large buffer can compensate somewhat for slow read/write speed. Art
