Seems more and more DSLR manufacturers are switching to SD cards...

I hope they'll keep doing that. CF cards are very bad with connections. I
had two readers of which a few pins were broken: toss and throw away.

I've seen this complaint before, but for the life of me I don't understand
how that can happen. The CF card should be precisely guided by the slot onto
the pins, and I don't see how you could make it do otherwise even if you
deliberately tried to. Unless those card readers just weren't designed or
made properly.

I still have several cameras that use CF cards (just recently bought a brand
new D200 in fact), and I've never had any problem with any of them.
