no. they both store stuff. minbaly used in cameras but in a different package. the compact flash ones are a bit like memory cards in playsations. kinda hardwaring. the smart media cards and bit like those 5 1/4 " floppy discs but really small. Quite floppy. And they are not interchangable.

SmartMedia (SM) and Compact Flash (CF) are definately not the same thing. I've got devices that use both (*sigh*), and picked up a reader that'll read both. It cost me about £30, so I guess that'd probably be around $30. CompactFlash memory cards use a 50pin interface, which uses a standard IDE command set. SmartMedia memory cards use a 22pin interface, which uses it's own memory bus. Oh, they also look completely different. (: I personally prefer CF, as there's no way you can come in contact with the physical contacts on the card. Less chance of killing them with static, and less chance of a poor contact due to dust/grease etc. AidanII

I picked up a 64MB compact flash and reader for $60 at Best Buy. The 4MB CF that came with my camera won't work with the reader, because it's only for USB Enabled CF cards. But wah. I have a 64MB flash card now. What do I need a 4MB card for? I need to get some good lithium rechargable batteries now. Probably two sets, just so I can have a back up. One thing that impressed me: the 215 came with a set of Energizer E^2 batteries. I was expecting bargain basement crap batteries like just about every consumer device comes with.

I've never found 'AA' sized Li-Ion batteries that I considered to be reasonable value, never mind a battery pack that I'd put in my C3030Z. For those who don't know, Li-Ion batteries produce 3.6v rather than the 1.2v of Ni-MH or Ni-Cd. So, I'm running 1.5Ah NiMH batteries in my C3030Z, which gets me easily over 80 shots in continuos use even with the LCD active. I've found that a decent delta slope charger is a must for good battery performance. Li-Ion is nice, but requires much more careful control over how they're used! AidanII
