[Leica] Thinking about a D700 or D7000

[benedenia at gmail.com (Marty Deveney)]

The readers for CF cards, being multi-pin, are easier to damage, as
are the the in-camera connections.  If you bend or snap a pin,
everything is ruined.  I have had a reader that broke and caused me
considerable grief, but I eventually recovered the files.  SD cards
have a sliding contact and there are no fine parts that can get bent
or break.
