By "features" I meant user interface features, those are better on the D, they could be improved on the DS if Pentax wanted to > In what way are SD cards more reliable than CF cards? - 9 larger contacts contacts are a lot more reliable than 50 smaller ones - 9 larger soldering tabs on a PCB are a lot more reliable than 50 much smaller ones, this is true both in the camera and in the card - contact surface on an SD card is easier to clean - it's a more difficult to damage a camera by mishandling a SD card - water doesn't go inside SD cards - SD is smaller so less prone to suffer damage from twisting
