    If your question ralates to any brand of SD cards, yes you can, you are not just limited to Kodak SD cards.

    check out www.themp3station.com for SD cards as they are the cheapest that I have found, plus they only charge £1.99 for shipping unlike my friend from ebay that I brought an 1Gb SD card from for £9.99 then got charged £5.99 for shipping... Aaah always read the small print. expect to pay £5.99 for 1GB £9.99 for 2GB and 19.99 for 4GB from the above website and oh yes don't forget the £1.99 shipping....

    Any Sd card will work, but when buying an SD card make sure it's offered with a lifetime warranty I know sandisk offer a lifetime warranty.
  • You may not be able to handle the High capacity 4gb SD cards in your camera - I know my Panasonic can't (there's a section on the panasonic website showing compatibility with different cards)

    If you use my Memory website you can choose you camera make & model and the website will display the products applicable to your camera

    Usually pretty competitive prices and good service when I have used them in the past

    As said above all brands should work - Kodak were selling 256KB ones for £80 a few years back, but I found a Kingston one for £17.

    What I didn't realise is that the speeds of SD cards vary. The one I bought is fairly slow, so if I repeatedly click the shutter button it takes about four seconds or so to save the photo before it can take the next one.

    Apparently there are much faster cards available, and I've been told that a high price doesn't necessarily mean that the SD card will be high speed, so it might be something to bear in mind...
