Is there an advantage to one over the other?  Is picture quality affected?
Thanx. AJ

Besides format factor, there is no operational difference.

SD has a hardware write tab.

SD is going to be the dominant card in smaller cameras.

I wouldn't touch Sony or XD products as yet.

No to both.  The difference to the user is really just form factor.

CF is available in higher capacities, at lower cost per byte.

By fractions of a cent sometimes, mostly they are the same price, larger yes
but 4 Gig SD is still pretty good how big did you need?

I was just looking at some memory. For SanDisk Ultra II 512MB the CF is
US$20 less than the SD. At CompUSA anyway.

At my local Teds Camera Store they are the same for the same size. At
www.powerinnimbers.com.au  the difference is a couple of dollars on the 2Gig
cards hardly a reason to choose one over the others.

    Hmm ... I *hope* that you mean 2GB, not 2MB, or the price is
rather extremely high. :-)

    Enjoy,
