Responses and Conversations
SD or Compact Flash? Is it basically if you have point & shoot you use SD and if you have SLR you use CF? I did some research, years ago, into the merits of both, but don’t know what the consensus is these days.

Well, I know of a few DSLRs that use SD, like the Nikon D50. I think SD is usually used on P&S cameras because of the small form factor. Although, our Canon Elph uses CompactFlash. So it’s not a hard rule. I tend to prefer cameras that use CompactFlash just because it’s a little cheaper.
