what type of memory cards does the D800 use?
1767006
Use either SD or CF, but I recommend a fast card; at least 600x speeds. Manufacturer does matter, Lexar, Sandisk are two of the approved cards.
1767007
The D800 has two compartment for memory cards, one is for SD and the other for Type I comapact flash card.
1767008
It has duel card slots for both CF and SD cards. You can choose to have each photo saved to both cards or use the two in sequence: i.e., use the second card only after the first fills up. Due to the file size, its best to have big cards and fast ones.

The D800 supports a number of popular cards:Type 1 CompactFlashSDSDHCSDXCI've ordered mine and I'll be purchasing a large SDXC card to go along with it. Given the size of the pictures, smaller cards will fill up fast.For example, 64gb cards are around $60 on eBay. High speed Sandisk cards are going for around $125.00.However, 64gb Compact Flash cards are faster, but all seem to be selling north of $100. I'll have to try them both to see if the cards are a bottleneck for the data transfer from the camera.Nikon has tested and approved Sandisk and Lexar cards.Hope this helps.

It's compatible with my D60, so my guess is that it would be fine with a D80.

Yes, I'm using this adapter with a micro SD 64GB card in my D800. Works beautifully.

I am using a PNY 4 GB SDHC card. They are very inexpensive. About $5 to $10.

It will take a SD, SDHC, or SDXC Memory card. I use a SDHC class 10 card for fast refresh rates. I love this camera, it does everything I need and more.

The D2 web site says it has a micro sd slot that accepts cards up to 32GB. Haven't seen a real one to verify.

Gator is correct, eBay is full of fake cards.Regarding the best card for the D800? The best is the fastest and the fastest are CompactFlash not SD types. CF is, at least, twice as fast. I think it's safe to stay with the most reputable companies such as Lexar and Sandisk.Because the D800 produces quite large files (50MB) I will get the 400x or 600x CF cards. The D800 has quite a large buffer but if one wants to take advantage of the 3 or 4 fps the camera allows the card with the fastest write speed will be the best.

I use SanDisk Extreme III for all my cameras (including the D50 when I had it. Was an excellent camera)

I bought the 8GB Kingston, not the 4GB card. Looking through Amazon ads for the Coolpix 8800 most have either 512Mb or 1GB cards with them. Nikon may be able to help. Sorry I wasn't any help.

The type used is called microsd, similar to this one: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380736312&sr=8-1&keywords=sd+micro

Hi I am not a Nikon user, but here is a link for your cameras with approved cards https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17636/~/approved-memory-cards---d700 it says you could use up to 64GB as long you have the latest camera firmware ( I am sure you will find a link on the Nikon site how to check if you have the latest firmware and on how to install the latest firmware.
