CF (compactflash) is a faster form of memory transfer so for dslr\’s it is better however SD (secure digital ) is a more compact version that allows cvamera manufacture to make their bodies smaller. The gap is minimising every day between them as the technology grows.

If you\’re a professionaly photographer who requires a card with lightning recording speeds to capture several shots per second and not overload your buffer storage, this might be a critical question worth sweating over.

I have three professional digital cameras and use both cards. I find both are quite satisfactory. I advise you buy the camera you prefer and accept whatever card it uses.
