1. SD is what you need, but in terms of size... I took a little look around and came across one site which said 256mb was the maximum size. I'm not sure how reliable a website it was, so you can get the manual from http://ca.konicaminolta.com/support/manuals/digital_cameras/dimage-f/dimage_f300/D_F300_E.pdf I had a quick browse and couldn't see anything, but the info should be there. Worst come to worst, spend $5 on a 512mb or a little more on 1gb and try it and see! Good Luck!
2. Go with smashvee's answer. Older cameras are usually not compatible with the newer, larger and faster cards though you may get away with a standard 512Mb one. Seems a pretty interesting camera, specifically the aperture priority and shutter priority modes. Get to know them, they are your friends.
