Which media card?

windym_2

I bought the cheap digital photoframe from Ebuyer. I thought my camera card would fit it but it doesn't, it says my options are

SD, MMC, MS, XD or CF

Anyone know which is going to be the cheapest to buy (its for about 50 photos). I suppose as I can use any of them it wouldn't matter . Thanks for help.

I think Sd is the cheapest. There's going to be a 1Gb one for £5.99 at Aldi from Sunday. Or you can get them cheap on the web, just watch for postage.

Even 2GB SD cards are dirt cheap these days, and they'll hold thousand of pictures (depending on the camera's number of pixels).
I'd pass on all other formats: MMC is similar to SD but not as good, MS is Sony proprietary, XD is Fuji proprietary, and CF is obsolete and not nearly as reliable as SD.

I don't think Canon would agree with that!

Yet, the latest Canon Ixus and Powershot models use SD cards, that should tell you something

I stand (or sit!) corrected!

Well, you were somewhat correct in that the EOS models still use CF cards, which I conveniently forgot to mention
I don't know why the top of the range use CF and the bottom of the range use SD though. I had quite few CF and SD cards, and personally, I prefer SD. They are as quick, smaller, and I had two CF cards dying on me
