You can choose SDHD if you like. But not SD. SD had the same problem
as xD cards in that there was a built-in limitation of 2GB. Of course,
cameras built to support SD cards also have this built-in 2GB
limitation. AFAIK, SDHD has finally included the controller which
should have been there all along.
But my advice is still to stay with CF which remains a superior design.
And they're large enough not to be easily lost.
