[Save Ferris]

If you trust this company, the card ends up free...

What devices still use CF slots?

a number of Canon's EOS line and Nikon's D-series still use it.

Most cameras geared towards professionals still use CF cards as they offer very large sizes and are incredibly rugged. I think Canon has moved to SD for most of their consumer EOS cameras though their prosumer and pro have CF and SD slots.

Most if not all the pro dslr's use them.

This is too big a leap of faith for me. $80 for 8gb seems awfully expensive to me. Grant it, IF the rebate coems through, it is free. But that is IF the rebate comes. Thats a big if for me. Plus the card is a little too big for my taste. I actually prefer using smaller 2 gb cards and using more of them. This way if a card goes bad, I dont lose everything.
