Just a hunch, but I suspect Pentax will go with CF on the top of the
line camera. They'll want to make it a clear upgrade from the *istD.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if it accepts both cards.

I
can't think of any real advantage for CF cards.
What about the simple fact that at any give point they can physically
contain
at least 4x the RAM for any given RAM package size over SD. Oh and the
fact
that some of us already use CF and don't wish to have to buy into SD
or
the
next storage tech. CF is small enough and robust enough for most of us
here,
apart from Bill sharing his pleb/kiosk stories I can't recall anyone
else
here
mentioning that they had problems with a CF cards contacts.
