Maybe you need a new computer. The real question might be how much larger would the K10D be if it used CF cards. You can't really compare the D and the K10D as they have a different set of features and design. Or, another way of looking at it might be to consider how much smaller the D would be

Just for the record the D isn't much different size than the Ds/Dl/2 body cameras. The actually looks smaller when they are near each other due to the different shapes of the prism/RTF housing, until you look closer, and you realize they just have slightly different shapes. David Savage wrote:

That's what I thought. Which leads to the point I was obtusely trying to make. One uses CF, the other uses SD there is very little physical difference between them. So when people argue that SD cards make for a smaller camera, I can't help thinking that it's not that big a factor. Cheers,
