[OM] Re: Xd cards

[chucknorcutt]

A fundamental difference between Xd cards and CF cards is that the controller 
for an Xd card is in the camera whereas a CF card is a true EIDE hard drive 
with integral controller.  This means that the Xd card technology supported by 
your camera is as old as the camera.  The CF card technology supported by your 
CF card is as new as the CF card.  In my opinion Oly and Fuji totally blew it 
on Xd design.  Stay with CF cards.
