This whole thing about "I need a larger card so I don't lose them" or "I find the smaller cards hard to handle" seems silly. Smaller cards are easier to transport. I can fit 2x the number of SD cards into a given wallet compared to CF cards, which is far more important to me. If you're just dropping cards into a big bag, yeah, CFs are bigger and you'll "lose" them less frequently, but who tosses cards around like potato chips?
I disagree. I find CF cards to be exactly the right size and relatively hard to lose. I always lose those little SD, miniSD, and XD thingies. There are some here in my office, I know, but I have not been able to lay hands on them for a couple of years. I believe there is such a thing as too much miniaturization. I know from feedback I get from photographers that I am far from alone in feeling this way.
