Benefits of SD or CF memory?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.slr-systems (More info?)

Is there an advantage to one over the other? Is picture quality affected?
Thanx. AJ

No to both. The difference to the user is really just form factor.

By fractions of a cent sometimes, mostly they are the same price, larger yes

At my local Teds Camera Store they are the same for the same size. At
www.powerinnimbers.com.au the difference is a couple of dollars on the 2Gig

Hmm ... I *hope* that you mean 2GB, not 2MB, or the price is
rather extremely high. :-)
