Hi all,
I'm looking at this 4GB compact flash card at Tiger Direct. Here are
the specs. Please let me know if this will work. Thanks.

Sandisk 4GB Extreme III (20MB/sec) Compact Flash
SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash is designed for serious professional
photographers who demand one of the fastest cards on the market.
$79.99

Or this one:
SanDisk Ultra II (9MB/sec) 4GB Compact Flash
This card is perfect for advanced photographers who require
high-performance cards to quickly shoot many high-resolution images.
$63.99

Looking forward to your response,
Sharonda
