I`looking for a new digitalcamera.
I`m thinking about a Nikon Coolpix 4500. I like the flexability the design gives and i have used Coolpix 950 and 990 before.

Problem is, the Coolpix (and most other digitalcameras) use CF cards.

Is there a way i can get the pictures from the CF card to my SE P900 without going through my pc?

Can anyone recommend a camera with duo stick?

Thanx!

I guess the obvious choice that use memory stick would the sonys, and thats what I use. Even better are the newer ones which have bluetooth and support BIP for bluetooth transfer to the phone. They certainly work with T610 and Z600 etc but I haven't determined if P900 supports BIP so you might want to check that first

I've heard of adaptors that convert memory stick to fit into compact flash, but never the other way around.

I'm using the DSC-P1 which was one of the original 3.3 megapixel Sony cams but looking to get a DSC-P12 probably since that takes memory stick pro and is 5 megapixel, although I may also look at the latest bluetooth ones too

well I just found out on my-symbian the P900 doesn't support BIP so I've lost interested in that option and will prob go for the DSC-P12 now. The Nikons are pretty good though, I had the coolpix 900 before the Sony and Olympus cams take great pics too (I had one of those before the Nikon)

Found a adapter on p900er.
But I`m also thinking about The Sony DSC F828.
The downside is that It`s big and expensive, but I really like it...

hey, that looks like a great cam from reading a few reaviews so thanks for the heads up. I will now order one of these. Can you answer a few questions please

where did you get it from
how much (best I can find is 294 pounds on ebay from a UK dealer)
can you confirm it does take the duo pro because some review are unclear.

ta!

got mine in a decent camera outlet in m'sia...cost me rm1950 or approx usd514 just for the camera which comes with a 32mb magic gate pro stick....got 2 pcs 128 pro sticks on my own at approx usd73 each and a carry case for approx usd30....and yes it's capable of taking on a duo pro....i'll highly recommend gettin the duo pro but i was a little impatient....wud prolly get a duo pro at a later date tho.....

all in...the t1 makes a wonderful replacement to my lost exilim z4....beat it hands down....

294 pounds!!! that's pretty cheap aint it???? the recommended price in m'sia is approx usd605...i had to shop like mad to find the shop selling at the price i got.......

ok, thanks for the feedback. I'll order one today from this guy on ebay with a good rating and loads of recent feedback and yes, 294.99 pounds.

thanks again

edit: just noticed he wants 28 pounds for postage within UK, so I think I'll contact him first
