The elph is a great buy!

I have a Nikon CoolPix 950 that came with a "lexar" USB enable CF card. THe Cool Pix came with a serial connector as it's only option to download from the camera, it was DOG slow and the software was totaly usless.

I ended up at the Lexar site www.digitalfilm.com and found that their USGB enabled cards have the USB protocol embeded into their design and because of it the readers are dirt cheap.

As far as batteries, I use Raidio Shack AA NiMh 1500mha batteries and a quick charger. They are 10x better than Duracell Ultra.
