Yes, if you have a DS..........
But if you start with a D (they came first), you have to buy SD cards.
And for most of us mere mortals, with fallible memories, who perhaps don't
use their cameras as often as you do, switching from one to another means
more complication, and more chance of error.

Not necessarily. If you have a DS, you can use your SD cards in the D
with a 10-15% performance penalty using an SD->CF converter (but the D
is slow enough that you will likely never see the speed deficit on a
fast SD card). If you have a D, you have to buy SD cards to use if you
then buy a DS.
I personally don't find the cameras that complex. I know intimately and
can remember all the settings and options for all three different
digital cameras I own (KM A2, Canon 10D and Pentax *ist DS). If I do
happen to forget something before going out with the camera, I keep all
the instruction booklets on line in my computer so I can review the
controls and settings quickly. I find that once I set a camera up, I
normally only have to worry about setting focus, ISO and exposure. Just
what I needed to know with film cameras, really... and I don't need to
remember how to load and unload film! :-)
