CF cards for Nikon D100 I just bought a new Nikon D100 from a local dealer. I need to get a CompactFlash card and wanted to make sure what is supported. I know the manual says up to 256MB CF or the 512/1G IBM MicroDrives. I suspect that is because that was all that was out at the time the camera was first produced. Do the 512MB and 1GB CF cards work in the D100? Also, the dealer says the D100 write speed is 22X so anything faster than that in a CF won't get you faster writing speeds. Can somone verify that also? I hope these weren't already covered somewhere but I couldn't find them if so. Thanks in advance for helping the "newbie".

After doing some additional searching on the web, I found this webpage, which appears to answer both questions. http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.php?cid=6007-6020 It shows various CF cards tested in the D100 up to 1GB in size. It also shows that the speed appears to max out at about 12x to 14x no matter the speed of the CF card used.

Glenn, I use my D100 as a professional and the only card I use is a SanDisk (compact flash) 1GB. I carry other sizes with me, but am still able to get 303 images on the card in the highest level of JPG mode (fine).
