From: measekite on 4 May 2008 21:49 Many people (not only Canon users) use a point and shoot of sorts (including EVF Long Zooms and Compacts) as well as a DSLR. Many use the same brand. So it appears that Canon made a good decision to change the new Xsi from a CF card to an SD card. I am not sure but I do not think there is any advantage to a CF card and the SD is less costly. As long as there is not advantage I am wondering if Canon, on the new rev of new DSLR version, is going to change all DSLRs to the SD format. So far I think that would be a good idea. Any opinions?

There may be a feeling in some pro circles that CF is better simply because it is physically bigger. It may also be slightly ahead in capacity and speed. Though SD cards have, I believe, the better connection mechanism. For the non-pros, I think that SD is clearly the standard today. Tomorrow, who knows? Cheers, David

Cannot tell about electrical contacts and handling which is also a matter of personal taste. Actually, I prefer SD since they seem to become kind of industry standard. virtuPIC -- Airspace V - international hangar flying! tools & toys at http://www.airspace-v.com/ggadgets
