Does anyone know if the D60 can take this card? I've seen one online for a good price, and just wanna be sure before I buy!

The D60 can take a good 1GB card. Notice the operative word, good.

If you have to shoot a lot of images in a relatively fast sequence, then there might be something positive about shooting 130 images onto one CF card without stopping.

I use 256MB cards, and I get about 32+ shots on each one (RAW, of course). When I shoot a wedding, if I had one of my eight cards fail, then that would be a headache, but it would not be a catastrophe. On the other hand, if I had only two 1GB cards and one failed, that would be grounds for a lawsuit.

Good point Robert. I don't shoot on a pro basis so i might get a 512 mb which will still give me nearly 200 shots in fine jpeg mode. Not as much to lose if anything goes wrong with the card too.

I would go for a pair of 512's. It is not unknown for them to get screwed up and if you shop around you can get a pair of fast 512's cheaper than a 1GB
