I've heard that it will use SD memory cards, rather than CF. At first I
thought this was bizarre because it would discourage ist-D users from
buying a "baby-D" as a second DSLR. Then I slapped my forehead and  said
"DUH! That's the idea! Encourage them to go for the more expensive
camera!" (a variation on how Canon "crippled" the Rebel-D to minimize
it's impact on 10D sales). But it's also an interesting way of marketing
to people who have a digicam and bunch of SD cards already: Let them
keep their present memory cards and use them interchangeably with a
point-n-shoot *and* a DSLR.
