Probably more expensive because they aren't produced on the scale of SD. I got rid of my last CF-based camera years ago. SD is so much more convenient and keeps the device smaller too.

Crap! I still have a lot of CF-based embedded boards sitting around, and could use a sub-$1/gig solution.
Adding the $15 CF-to-SD adapter and just using cheap SD is starting to look attractive, but further posts of actual CF cards would be appreciated.
Photographers still use CF cards a lot.

How come we don't get same price as SD? what is still making CF so pricey?
