which memory card type for sony a300 range?

[p1tse]

having looked at the spec, it seems like it can take several memory card formats.

any particular ones better than another, or much alike?

any recommendations on which ones to go for?

They're all much of a much nowadays, SD ,if the camera takes these, are probably the cheapest nowadays as they're used in lots of other things as well

 

[stan the man]

you can use compact flash cards,or sony's own with an adapter..which you will have to buy.CF cards are your best option though.......

sweet, thanks. compact flash it is then

i don't think they take SD cards ;-(

so where's the best/ cheapest options for Compact Flash?
