Compact Flash Cards

Compact Flash Cards

Compact Flash memory cards are also very common, as these are often used in Digital SLR cameras. They are bigger than SD cards, however, are generally cheaper and also very reliable. The standard has also been around for a long time. Rather than using contacts, there are a series of holes which accept pins from the reader. Compact flash does not normally include a write protect switch, although it is possible to protect the cards contents on most cameras.
