And I bet that the cost of the writer/reader inside the camera is already
lower for the SD, due to the large amount of them manufactured for compact
camera/cameraphone/palmtop business. This is an excellent reason (for the
manufacturer) to choose SD instead of CF.

I'm seeing more cameras using the SD card, and several using SD and CF.
It
may be that CF is on the decline, or perhaps in some market segments. I'd
suggest that smaller cards will be the preferred choice of camera
manufacturers once memory capacity increases. SD cards are now up to 2
gb,
they have faster write and read speeds than before, and seem to be
catching
up with CF cards with respect to capacity and cost will surely follow.

Is this true? Admittedly, I have not been following the new SLR
market, but it seems to me that virtually *all* camera vendors which
had used CF, are now using SD in the P&S market.
I was looking for an inexpensive P&S for my son, and I figured I'd get
a CF body since I had an extra CF card given to me, but new CF cameras
seemed to have disappeared.
