Reply:Canon DLSRs use CF.


However, there are various configuration like higher capacity 2- 4 - 6 - 8 gb, low/high speed. Price of flash media is going down fast nowadays that its very tempting to go for the highest capacity and speed.


You will have check the manual or Canon website on the flash media limitation of your camera model. If not supported, it may not function properly, so wasted investment and emotion.

Eventually there will be converters available so the consumer can use their old SD's in DSLR's which use CF cards .. there is one made now, but it is quite expensive. It is cheaper just to buy a 4GB CF card for under $40 or a 2-pack of 2GB cards for $28.
