Finally went digital

after owning Nikon SLRs since 1968 and adding Hasselblads in 1987, I've finally brokedown and got a Nikon 8700. Only thing now is I have to get film for it in the form of memory chips. The manual says I can use SanDisk, Lexar, Hitachi, & Microdrive in models that run from 16M to 2G. The manual doesn't say what the benefits of any of them are- so I was hoping someone here would be able to let me know, before I buy one by the dart-board method.

It's amazing how quickly the manufacturers figured out that they need to convert SLR to digital. A $9K camera is now $3-4K. First the news services were the only ones with them, but even I'm looking at a lower-end model, under $500 (remanufactured).
