SD and CF card comparison is a forever topic to talk about. Some people think buying CF cards is totally a waste of money but I think it isn't. If you're using a fast Camera like mine (5D Mk iii), it would be a total waste to use slow memory cards. Of course, both SD and CF cards have their own varieties of speed & quality types to choose from. However, comparing the same speed memory cards CF can produce a much faster burst than SD cards. Fast camera can't produce "fast enough" shots if the memory cards are saving too slowly.
In general, CF card (CompactFlash) is a memory card used in professional cameras and are fast, durable and portable. Usually used by many professionals in Media industry and is a great option for Professional Photographers and filmmakers.
- Storage Capacity
- Card Class
- Read Speed
- Minimum Write Speed
Last but not least, for rough condition travel trips or adventures or unpredictable temperatures. CF card will be a better option than SD card. Imagine you've a tough camera, but memory card broke down. Usually, CF cards can resist higher altitudes pressure than SD cards.
