Seems more and more DSLR manufacturers are switching to SD cards...

My first dcams were Sony (S85 and F707) which use the far superior memory stick; I've always thought the pins that CF uses are a disaster asking to happen. A bit of dust on the connector, and your camera needs a trip to the mfr. I've seen lots of bent pins in that sort of connector in the past.

And MS is one more example of Sony killing a format by trying to rule the world with a proprietary solution. As a corporation, they are insane.


So maybe this is good news.

(Our CEO just bought a portable DVD player, and it has an SD card slot, so it does seem that SD is winning.)
