I just got my first digital camera a Canon Rebel with a 17-85 mm IS, I went ahead and got a 1 gig Dane CF but before I got it I bought 2 Compact Flash cards from Costco, they were scan disk but they were also very small compared to the Dane and they do not fit into the Rebel's cf compartment. Do they come in different seizes? If I shot snapshots of family wich setting would be good to print jpgs, fine large, LARGE, medium? I would never print a snapshot in jpge bigger than 8x10, problably 5x7 would be the biggest, I would problably use RAW for more serious photography. I saw a portable storage device for $ 500 dollars has anybody tried the Vosonic for less? Is the Adobe RAW conversion good enough or do I need a third party software, I heard the software that comes with the camera is not very good. Is Dane cf any good compared to Lexar and scandisk? Thanks, Andres
