But most people already using a D-SLR have CompactFlash slabs available. Virtually all D-SLR are still using CF.

Moreover, it is technically simple. The CF is larger in size, so more chips go into it and the result is that the CompactFlash contains more data than the same technology SD.

However, this line is blurring under the pressure of several factors:

* SD max capacity is now becoming “enough” even for big sensor D-SLRs.

* Price of both SD and CF has gone quite low compared to the price of the camera itself.

So manufacturers more and more are moving to SD, once reserved to compact cameras. We can expect that all new DSLR products in 2008 will be using SD cards. It’s an on-going trend.

I Guess that the Canon 1DS Mark II is an “amateur” camera because it useses SD cards too!
