fhotoace provided this gem of information in an answer to another question:
"CF memory cards (the ones that are used in the pro cameras) have a 120,000 format cycle. That means that if you were to format your card every day, it would last only 57 years. "
Do you know about the format cycle on SD cards? Can you list some reasons why the highest level of cameras are using CF cards instead of switching to SD? Or - why are virtually all P&S cards using SD cards now? Personally, I kind of like the feel of CF cards, but I can see how those delicate pins deep inside the camera might become damaged...
(Yes, I see a CF vs. SD question from 5 months ago, but I was really curious about the format cycle...)
