I need a bit more memory for my new camera.
At present I have a 128M and 64M (a 3 16M cards which are a waste of space) Smartmedia cards from a previous camera.
My new camera takes Smartmedia, Compact Flash or Micro drive.

What would you recommend and where are the best places to buy.
I was thinking either 2 128M Smartmedia's at £33 or a 256M Compact Flash for around £75.

Are microdrives as delicate as some people say?

Does anyone now of any better deals,

Thanks, Grahame.

oh and by the way I took my microdrive snow boarding and went up higher than "recomended" and its fine, its never glitched once, and its been on track in my car and slung down a mountain hand held on a board! 1gb IBM microdrive is the ticket, though Id like a 2gb!

Got a 340mb microdrive for £67 delivered from this lot

load times arent quite as quick as from compact flash as its a hard drive rather than solid state memory, but seems pretty robust so far.
