Cannon manufactures several digital cameras that use CompactFlash cards.
CompactFlash, which was created in 1994, is a small removable device that stores data. It is a small rectangular card and weighs approximately a half ounce. CompactFlash cards use flash technology, a type of storage that does not require the use of a battery to store data permanently. Several brands of digital cameras use compact flash cards to store images. Canon, an electronics manufacturer, has several camera models with CompactFlash cards installed.
Canon PowerShot A100
The Cannon PowerShot A100 has a 1.2 megapixel sensor and an auto focus lens with 3.2x digital zoom. It offers various photo modes, including manual, black-and-white and movie. Included with this model is an 8 MB CompactFlash memory card that stores up to 32 photos and over a minute of video.
Canon PowerShot S10
This Canon model has 2.1 megapixel capacity and a 2x zoom lens. It is relatively small compared to other similar cameras in its class. It comes with a software package including Adobe PhotoDeluxe and Photostitch and an 8 MB CompactFlash card.
Canon EOS-1D
In the EOS line, a more sophisticated and expensive line of Cannon cameras, the Cannon EOS-1D has a 10.1 megapixel sensor, a larger 3.0-inch LCD screen and a cleaning system which uses mechanical and software technology to regulate dust accumulation on the camera lens. It has two memory card slots, one for CompactFlash cards and one for SD cards, and both can be used simultaneously.
Canon EOS 5D
The EOS 5D has CompactFlash memory storage, 12.8 megapixels for resolution, a 2.5-inch monitor and a CMOS sensor which reduces noise in photos, allowing for better quality images.
