The micro USB is convenient, and it avoids handling memory devices that
are sometime static-sensitive. Plus you can damage the CF pins if you're not
careful.

Mmmm... With the uncompressed TIFF I get one byte per colour per pixel,
about a 24M file size. Now I get ALL of the available dynamic range and
colours without any compromise. I cannot comprehend why they didn't retain
