While I await delivery of my new camera, i was just thinking if there is any merit in going for CF over xD for memory cards. Ive ordered a 1GB xD card to get me started, but as the camera also accepts CF is it a better option? As for the connectivity, either CF or xD is fine for the transfer of images as I have media readers for both.

Since I'm using the Canon 300D, I have no choice but to use CF.
But I remember when I was buying a memory card for my PDA, he mentioned that generally CF is faster than other cards, but since it's bigger in size, it's not popular among manufacturer. I don't know how true is that.
I found a site http://www.memorex.com/downloads/whitepapers/WhitePaper_Reference_Guide_Flash_Mar06.pdf but I have no time for it now (working )

Thanks for that Link - Yup, Speed would be fairly important I think especially for RAW given their size (18mbs each apparently on the fuji) :S
The 300D looks like a superb camera. Canon always get good reviews dont they?
