Digital Camera - Memory Cards

Is there an industry standard for memory cards? For instance, I just bought a HP 318 series digital camera off of Ebay but it only has 8MB of internal memory. I would like to buy an additional 32MB card but does it have to be made by HP, or can it be a 3rd party maker?

EDIT: Also, would you go with a secure digital card or a compactflash card?
 
Any brand of CompactFlash card will be safe to use.

That camera uses CompactFlash and a secure digital card will not fit into it. The SD card is about 1/4 the size of a CF card.
 
I've heard recently you can get a 256MB compact flash card these days for about $50 if you do some looking.

You could take a vacations worth of photos on a card with that capacity.

EDIT: Indeed, I just checked that crucial link and they have it for $54.:beer:
 
Check the camera specs. Some cameras have a memory size limit to the cards that they can use. Not a widespread problem anymore, but I'd check anyway.
