The only reason I have to spend a lot of time in in processing my raw images is when I do something wrong, then I'm very glad that I shot raw not Jpeg. Mostly I just copy the images off the card, pick the one I want to print or display on the web. Modify my white balance if it needs it and I'm

I'm seeing more cameras using the SD card, and several using SD and CF. It may be that CF is on the decline, or perhaps in some market segments. I'd suggest that smaller cards will be the preferred choice of camera manufacturers once memory capacity increases. SD cards are now up to 2 gb, they h

And I bet that the cost of the writer/reader inside the camera is already lower for the SD, due to the large amount of them manufactured for compact camera/cameraphone/palmtop business. This is an excellent reason (for the manufacturer) to choose SD instead of CF. Dario - Original Message
