HP 315 Owners...click here please

I wanted to get a bigger CF card, but the HP site says only SanDisk ones are compatible??
anyone have any personal experiences with any other brand of CF aside from the one the camera comes with??
how about the one mentioned in this thread...anyone know if it will work?

Bah, thats BS. I have a Memorex 32MB in mine right now. Works like a charm. I can't see why any compactflash wouldn't work.

I wish I could help... I just wanted to say that you are my hero.

Any compactflash will work...how much did you pay for the 315?

I don't know about the HP 315, but on the HP 215, I've used a 16 meg 4x Lexar, 16 meg Kodak, and a 256 meg Kingston card. They all worked fine. Incidentally, 256 megs on a 1.3 mpixel camera is like a bottomless pit that one has no hope of filling.

What, you saying you can't take over 500 pictures? The 315 is 2.1 megapixel...they aren't TOO different other than that.

I've heard from newegg that the Mr. Flash CF won't work in the HP 215/315 cameras.. So I would take some precaution.

YHPM! It should work fine with different NAME brands. Stay away from the generic stuff though!

<< What, you saying you can't take over 500 pictures? >>



hehe, I think the battery would poop out a long time before the card even got remotely close to being filled

There has been a lot of discussion on this.

Certain brands like Mr. Flash and off-brands may not work. HP guarantees SanDisk will work. I was lucky enough to get 32MB SanDisk at OD for $19.95 but I would not hesitate to try another quality name brand.

Actually with the HP C215, rechargable batteries are warned against. Now that's a real problem.
Check out the discussion in technical.
