My first digital cam- a Point and Shoot- used SD. the card was corrupted just weeks after. I used a couple cameras after that, DSLRs and P&S’s, most use CFs and to this day all cards still work. I, as of now, own three or more unusuable SDs.

CF cards are still a great option.

I like the size of the SD cards, though they are indeed easy to loose. I think I have lost one or two, can’t even remember anymore. And 2 have physically been destroyed (those cheap plastic SD card cases that come with some cards seem to make more damage than they help protect the cards… one card is now 2 parts, and the other card has lost the lock switch, rendering it useless). Still, the convenience of a built in SD card reader in my laptop, and having SD cards in many other devices makes me prefer them.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the controller is capable of mapping bad sectors in order to not write data to them, which could prevent data loss.
