SD or CF card for new D model?
http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/06/sandisk-ces-sd-card-with-built-in-usb-adapter/
SD seems to be the way most things are moving, too. My mobile phone has 1GB SD memory (well the mini-SD type anyway)
But, the *ist D is not going to die. The CF cards will still have a use, but in that camera, not the new one.

In the UK: http://www.digitalera.co.uk/detail.html?productref=89 (SD card does not protrude!) Type II CF (suitable for the *ist-D)
Note: Maplins in the UK sell one where the SD card does protrude, so won't fit in the *ist-D.

There are even smaller cards now than SD and anyway this is the game between manufacturers and consumers. Buy one format today and pretty soon thereafter another format will be introduced. Sounds like a nightmare to consumers to me.
However on second-thoughts if you simply are able to change the SLR body and keep your lenses as you can with Pentax, the card changes, are still relevant but not so big on the agenda.
SD is NOT the future!

They are the future for Pentax, as you will soon see. But nothing lasts for ever, as I am sure you will have worked out by now. Perhaps.

All my stuff, PDA and camera, mp3 player all started out with CF .... now I have SD in camera, scanner and another old technology Mini-Disk - the mp3 player broke.

My question is, are there any educated guesses as to which memory card will be used in the forthcoming D replacement?
I have other questions! But that will do for now.
