Yes, there is certainly some overlap between the two media. The newest SD cards are faster than the older CF cards. It also becomes a big issue with fast frame-per-second still cameras when people are shooting bursts. At the high end, that is a far higher data rate than video is (280MBps and up for the newer Canons). > > I have never seen it being an issue in the sort of usage > talked about here.
