Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom review

Reviews On the right, you'll find an autoexposure lock/trash key, a quick-view button, a four-way cursor pad with embedded OK/Menu button, a command dial, a speaker, and a button that makes it easy to switch between the CompactFlash and xD cards -- even...

Canon PowerShot A95 review

Reviews And finally, the plastic CompactFlash slot cover is flimsy and clumsy to open. It's a slightly smaller and lighter -- 235g with CompactFlash card and four AA batteries -- package than its predecessor.

Archos Pocket Video Recorder AV420 review

Reviews Although it's one-third thinner than the AV320, the AV420 manages to squeeze in a CompactFlash slot. It also plays MP3 and WMA files like a champ, records live and analogue audio, stores data, and serves as a photo viewer/storage unit for cameras...

Nikon D70 review

Reviews DesignWe loaded the Nikon D70 with a CompactFlash card, a lithium-ion battery, and an 18mm-to-70mm lens (equivalent to a 35mm model's 27mm-to-105mm lens). For instance, you can format the CompactFlash card by pressing the LCD-backlight and...

Archos Gmini 220 (20GB) review

Reviews The Gmini 220's CompactFlash slot resides on the device's side, behind a hard-to-remove rubber flap. The built-in slot accepts any CompactFlash card, and the player quickly transfers the media's images to its hard drive.

Thomson Lyra PDP2860 review

Reviews Another very welcome design point is the internal CompactFlash slot; the AV320 houses media cards in a separate module. If your camera uses media other than CompactFlash, you'll need to transfer shots from your computer to take advantage of the...

Canon EOS-1D Mark II N review

Reviews Anyone who has ever shot with the original EOS-1D in the snow knows how difficult it was to change CompactFlash cards with gloves on. Equipped with two card slots, this camera lets you shoot to either CompactFlash or SD media.

Asus MyPal A730 review

Reviews Though only 48MB are user-accessible (for storing files and applications and providing processor headroom), the A730 has both SDIO/MMC and CompactFlash expansion slots, so you have plenty of room to grow.

Dell Axim X50v review

Creative Zen Vision review

Reviews The side panel also houses a CompactFlash socket, which is useful for people who use digital SLR cameras. So, you can read photos from a CompactFlash card -- useful for SLR camera owners, but it's not a well-supported format in other areas.
