When Pentax said they were swtiching to SD cards, I did my own investigating on them and learned about the lock that will prevent the user erasing anything important. I heard that CF cards were headed in that direction, but never have seen a CF card with a lock on it to prevent erasure. I have lots of CF cards for my *ist D and Optio 230 Pentax. Too bad Pentax didn't allow a dual use system like, I believe, Canon did with one of there EOS dslrs.
