Very simple question-

Are CF cards different between Canon and Nikon? As a Canon man, I was wondering if I was able to take advantage of Birddogs bargain prices on cards...

99.9% sure they are the same.

A CF card is a CF card is a CF card (assuming the camera can handle the speed and capacity). The 32MB card that came with my Canon Ixus 400 works happily in my D70s (though it's only good for about 8 RAW photos! )

Yes, CF card for Nikon can take B&W and for Canon is not

No, they're the same.

Must be preformatted individually to enable ability to work with a Canon.....you may want toa ask Birdy but there may be an additional charge of $185 per hour labour for preformat option

Otherwise you can just stick it and use it
