The *istD won't work without a card. It requires CF cards, not SD. (The
*istDS uses SD cards.) All of the cards I've tried work just fine. Any
card faster than 40X will give you full capability in regard to speed.
Faster cards, such as 80X, will download faster through a firewire or
USB2 card reader. One gig cards are a good value for money. I usually
pay about $80 US for fast Sandisk one gig cards. I've used other
brands, including Lexar and Kensington with no problems.

The *ist D is on the way, but without a card. What do I get? I'm quite
sure any number of SD cards will work, but what's the best value for
money? I've just been talking to a dealer who offered me a Sandisk 512
Type II card but I'm not sure I know what he meant when he said it
would go into my USB port? Does Sandisk sell cards with readers? Or
some kind of an adapter? Anyway I'd like to know what the recommended
cards are so I can get one before the camera gets here. Does the
camera have any internal memory? I know there's a buffer, of course,
but cannot find out if the camera will work at all without a card.
