The 645D appears to accept SDHC but not SDXC cards. I expect that
omission will be cured very soon.

Pentax Rep told me when they brought out the * ist DS they went to SD cards
for several reasons;

space requirements, SD bays take up a lot less space.

CF pins, they would never have to do a warranty claim for bent pins with the
SD card. I have seen a few bent pins in other CF cameras. Yes it takes a
certainly amount of skill to insert a CF and bend pins, yet people do it.

Hey! I have never needed any skill at all to bend pins.

I bent the pins in my old CF card reader eventually.

of life, not being a klutz.
