Not relevant for most users, they also have a higher potential capacity. For the fumble-fingered, they're harder to drop. ;-) As a non-technical impression, I read tons of posts about problems with SD cards and don't remember the last time I read about a CF card problem, but that's just impression, not science.

Is there any advantage to a CF card relative to a SD card? Vice versa? Yes, I realize one card is smaller than the other... but I wonder why Nikon ( for one) uses CF cards in some cameras, and SD cards in others.....

Rumours are that the D700 is no longer being made and will be replaced by a 24MP FF model later this month. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
