A smaller card means a correspondingly smaller card reader device,
which is the larger consideration when designing small, hand-held
devices like phones, etc.

SD cards are small enough, too small in my opinion
Totally agree but you know that smaller is always better don't you?
That's why everybody do throw their old obsolete film SLRs and buy
some stupid small digithing. Just because it is small.
IMO Cf Cards have the required size for my hands.
Does the istds use regular or mini SD cards?

It takes regular SD cards. As of firmware version 1.02 it handles SD
cards of any size up to and greater than 1gb (ie, it now supports 2gb
cards).

Regular SD.

I didn't know there were mini SD cards, SD cards are small enough,
too small in my opinion. It doesn't use CF cards if that's what you mean.
