Re: I just ordered myself a *ist DS with DA18-55 lens.

Used to be that they had lower capacity and slower write speeds.  Most 
professional digital cameras
use CF cards.  However the new SD cards have higher capacities and 
equivalent write speeds to CF.
I happen to think that SD cards are too F*#&(%$ small.  (But that's just 
my opinion).

Interesting... is the istDS the first modern DSLR not to have a CF 
slot?
     

As opposed to the prehistoric ones that did?
Sadly, yes.
Hopefully this isn't the start of a trend.
Perhaps Pentax is owned by Lexar?
