Lexar 1 GB Pro 40X USB CompactFlash

Summary: Compatible with Nikon 8700
Review: While purcasing a Nikon Coolpix 8700 thru Amazon, I was lead down the path of picking this device as the compact flash for the camera. I received both and installed the Lexar 1 GB CF into the 8700. 8700 displays "This card cannot be used". I then went to Nikon web site FAQ which clearly does NOT list this card as compatible. What gives? Why the misleading advertisment from Amazon. Sure wish I'd checked with Nikon first. What a bonehead. By the way, the card is recognized by WINXP. I am now the proud owner of a $250 external removable 1gig hard drive. Thank-You Amazon!
