CF or SD?

[NewYuppie]

what are some pros and cons of compact flash cards versus secure digital cards?

[pcasciola]

SDs are generally faster and a much smaller form factor, but are typically more expensive than their CF counterparts. CFs seem tougher, but I haven't had a hardware failure on either one.

CF cards are horrid to use imo. gotta be so careful u dont bend any pins! SD cards are a tank, ive put them through the wash, lost one outside for about a week (and found it again) and they still work fine!
