RE: Pentax High End DSLR

The only one I can think of is that a smaller lighter object may be less 
likely to be damaged if dropped.  Aside from that, a smaller physical 
footprint leaves more design 'headroom' for the rest of the device.  Many 
PDA's are moving away from Compact Flash, and I suspect this is partly the 
reason.

I'm not making a case against Compact Flash.  I'm just saying that there may 
be marketing reasons for companies to change the standard occasionally.

I don't think so. SD cards are smaller and more delicate. I'd rather
deal with a sturdy CF card myself.
