When looking for extra CompactFlash Cards on the Net, I noticed that they come with/without adaptors. Just what are CompactFash adoptors? Rich(rgh115@prodigy.net) Thank You

I think these are PCMCIA adaptors so you can stick a compact flash card straight in a laptop. Fastest and easiest method of image transfer.

Richard,

As already stated, it is a PCMCIA (or PC Card) adaptor which plugs into a laptop comptuer. I personally don't need a PCMCIA adaptor, but, happened to get one with my camera (as a bonus).

Anyway, they're very inexpensive (less than $10), so, unless you have a need to transfer to a laptop, no need in paying for it, huh?
