Poll: SD or CF on 60D, etc.

Huh? I know Canon puts some of their newer technology in lower-end cameras, but this doesn't make sense. The Rebels are low-cost cameras. There's no sense in loads of high technology (or complexity that could lead to NO pictures on the memory card) in an entry-level camera.

Nikon's new D300s has dual slots. (CF and SD)

Iwould want either this arrangement or 2 CF slots simply for redundancy if nothing else. I always carry a thumbdrive CF reader in my bag, so loading onto my laptop wouldn't be an issue. SD readers on laptops are hit and miss. Some have it some don't.


I'm not looking for a XXD, It's a shame that this wasn't included in the 5D MkII.
