Jeez when will they ever make one of these that uses compactflash? or any other type of memory card but I just hate SD. I guess the USB reader is good but slightly messy

Blaupunkt is a good make though so probably worth the extra cash - I have a 50+ year old valve-based blaupunkt radio that still works good

Yeah, I agree, all the big capacity memory cards seem to come out for CF first... probably due to most of the high end dSLR cameras use CF, except Nikon's. Therefore I think including like a 5-in-1 reader should be a requirement if you were to exclude CD reader.

They really should just go with one type of memory card anyways, like all SD or microSD.

CF is nice if you need the highest capacities, highest speed or you need to boot from it (it's an ATA drive too), but SD is fine for most media uses. Except for their use in dSLRs, I think CF is fading. I'd prefer it not to, but it is a physically large card now and it's often more expensive than an SD card. The only thing I don't like about SD is that there's three different sizes in use now, and juggling the adapters is a pain.

CF used to have two physical sizes, but the thicker went away quickly.
