Lexar has today announced that it is now shipping a 4 GB 40x Type II Compact Flash card. This card is available now at the heady price of $1,499.

And what are we paying for them now?

CF is physically too big for my taste. So I guess I'll stick with SD cards.
Looking forward to the day when someone produced an SLR camera with SD card :)

I've also pretty much decided to just buy SD cards from now on, to save space. I bought one of those Minolta SD/CF adapters (the one where the whole SD card fits inside it) so I can use the SD cards in my CF camera and my iPAQ's CF slot.
