........and a 512MB compact flash card in the other (made by "Mr Flash" - 10x speed)
Which do I keep and which do I sell?
I want to keep the one with the speedier write and read speeds.

Anyone?

In my opinion, the 512MB CF card would be much more reliable over the long haul than the microdrive. No moving parts to mess up if you get a little rough with the card.

Another vote for compact flash. Goes easier on the battery (I heard) and should be faster (although I don't know if the camera or the medium is the limiting factor)
