It states that the memory card is 128 MB SD, on the handout from Aldi, does that mean it would not take Compact Flash as well.

I am tempted to go down the Canon route but this did seem good value, bearing in mind the favourable comments a few weeks ago with regard to the PC's from ALDI.

Gaz, the handout from Aldi shows a picture of the power packs and it does say "traveler" on the back of them.
Hi Jim

The trouble with these kind of things is not knowing whether the unit supplied, although 'badged', is just a generic one that can be replaced 'off the shelf', or a true proprietry one that can only be replaced by the manufacturer. Thing is, until you can get your hands on one, it's not easy to tell. Anyway this link gives some idea of the life you can expect

- and afaik, you can't interchange compact flash & SD memory cards
