Default XD ior SD

I can choose either XD or SD memory cards for my camera
What are the advantages of one type over the other?

Well, for starters: SD are a standard format produced and used by many
compaines - hence are generally among the least expensive. XD is a
proprietary format used by only a couple of companies - hence generally
among the most expensive. Difficult choice!

SD also has the option of a built in USB connector which work great.

XD formats are very inconsistent with loads of incompatibilities.
