Oh, that! I didn't realize it was called anything other than a "memory card."

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
DH just got this Nikon Coolpix, which is pocket sized, uses SD cards, and has a nicely intuitive interface.

They have different sorts of cards -- my Clie used an incompatible format.
Will go look at Elphs.
eta: Excellent, Jessica!
I like my Panasonic, it's small; but it doesn't have a very good zoom.
The next model up has a pretty good zoom, though.
I am going to buy an iPod today - my gut it to buy the regular 20gb one. Any thoughts or suggestions otherwise?
How many CDs do you have, and how many do you want to carry around with you?
I am not exactly sure how many I have, maybe 400-500? I certainly don't need them all with me, like not the Holiday songs.
msbelle, sounds like you have -- let's say 5000-6000 songs you'd want to download, at most?
I have 9500+/- compressed to radio quality, taking up about 18.5GB on my 40GB iPod. So 20GB might be pushing it, especially if you want CD quality and/or hope to add more in the future. Because, at least with the version I have (purchased summer '03), it's very, very difficult to erase songs.
Also, it depends on how anal you are about sound quality. At the "standard" 128 kbps sampling rate you should get about 400 CDs onto a 20 Gig model. I insist on using a higher sampling rate (average of about 196 kbps) so the 40 Gig model just barely contains my music (gonna have to buy a 60 Gig model in the next few months or so).
the 40 and 60 gb are "photo" iPods, right?
