Hi Chris and list,
Well, I've been wanting to rant a little bit about one of my SD
cards, and this is as good a time as any to do it. When I insert
the SD card, the wee switch on the side gets moved, protecting
the card from being written to. I don't want it protected! It's
my backup card! I take it out, fix the switch, which is very tiny
and fiddly, put it back in, and most of the time, the switch gets
moved again. I am intensely careful putting it in, but it all
seems to be down to dumb luck, when it works and when it doesn't.
You need to consider that little switch, which might be a problem
for your fingers.
There is no doubt that the SD card is easier to take out of the
BN. Grasping the CF card could present a bit of a problem. But I
think that, overall, a CF card, being bigger, and at least in my
case, enormously less temperamental, might be the preferable
card. Of course, Carol is right, and if you get the chance to try
both, so much the better.
Don't know if this helps, but it's good to finally get to whine
about my SD card, which, btw, hasn't left my BN in weeks, because
I hate fiddling with it!

PS: Scott's right, you'll have to have an SD card for upgrades.
You can get a little one for very little money, and then see
about what you need for your storage.
