I would like to purchase a 256mb memory card for my digital camera. Are all memory cards compatible(sp?), with all cameras? I've got a Praktica DCZ 4 VR . I've got a 16mb card at the moment my friend gave me and it's an SD memory card whatever that means

You get different types of flash memory, so you need to get the one that works for your camera. The best thing to do is to go along to a computer/camera shop with you camera and memory and say "I'd like 256 megs of this, please!". Then test it in the shop before you leave.

My camera take compact flash (type 1) and my phone takes MMC, it'd be cool if they were compatable but you can't have everything.

Cheers!
I was thinking of getting one of eBay as they tend to be alot cheaper than in the shops. Think I probably will go in a shop now!

you could always go to the shop, make sure it works, then order it off ebay

If you camera uses SD (secure digital) then it's a fair bet that any SD memory (once formatted) will work for you camera, just make sure the camera supports 256 meg cards.

...and while I'm on the subject, make sure you get a good warranty. Flash RAM has a limited lifecycle, my last one lasted only 18 months and had a 12 month warranty . My new card has a 5 year warranty
