Compact Flash
The CompactFlash memory card was developed soon after the PC Card, and in many ways is simply a smaller version of the PC Card.
This was the first type of memory card that was developed with the intention of being used in digital cameras.
The compact flash memory card has all of the same advantages as the PC Card, but because it is smaller, allows camera makers to design more compact digital cameras.
CompactFlash is the world's most popular removable mass storage device. The CompactFlash card is about the size of a matchbook and only weighs half an ounce.
CompactFlash technology has resulted in the introduction of a new class of advanced, small, lightweight, low-power mobile products that significantly increases the productivity and enhances the lifestyle of millions of people. These products include digital cameras, digital music players, desktop computers, handheld PCs (HPCs), personal communicators, Palm PCs, Auto PCs, digital voice recorders and photo printers.
