Huh? Not at all. It is the mainstay of pro-level digital camera
work. It has just disappeared from consumer-shit-grade stuff because it
is "huge". Heh. (still aching from moving an RK07 last night, and
that's on the "light" side of my stuff!)

To the best of my knowledge the only Pro-level digital camera that
doesn't use Compact-Flash is the Leica M9 (trust me, there is no room
in there). What sucks is that Costco no longer carries it in the
stores (at least not my local ones).
The new Nikon D4 has two slots, one for the older Compact-Flash
cards, and one for the new XQD cards.
