I don't think they all do, and there is certainly a lot of animated discussion on photography site about which is better. CF seems to get the nod for potentially higher read/write speeds, especially when shooting video and the concern is whether the storage media can keep up with the data to be stored. I have never seen it being an issue in the sort of usage talked about here. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
