Difference of opinion.
I've settled on 1G cards as my standard, regardless of which
card format I use, and SD cards let me carrry more of them in
less space. Now that the cost and performance of flash memory is
virtually identical to the cost of microdrives, I would never
buy a microdrive over a fast flash card, so that isn't much of
an attraction to the CF form factor anymore.
Besides, I can use the same SD cards in my PDA as in my camera.
