Hi Kathleen; You can use an sd card just like you can a cf card. The difference is that the sd card can be locked with a little switchy thingy so you don't accidentally write out stuff or get stuff in you don't want. It is also much smaller than a cf card, but can still hold almost as much data. I think people who use digital cameras really love them because of their small size and the fact that you can write-protect data by flipping the little switch thing on the side of the card. Sd cards may soon take over a large part of the flash memory market, though I suspect both will be around for a while before one takes over.
