Re: [OM] xD out?

[Chuck Norcutt]

Probably SDHC since SD cards are limited to 2GB.  Unfortunately, cameras 
designed for SD cards are not compatible with SDHC although cameras 
designed for SDHC will also accept SD.  But note that SDHC cards carry a 
limit of 32GB while CF cards are already available in sizes larger than 
32GB.  For > 32GB you will need the newer SDXC announced last year.
