The article mentions transfer speeds of 10 Mbps while the card shows its transfer rate at 10 MBps. The difference is megabits per second and megabytes per second; 10 Mbps = 1.25 MBps. Just so people don't get confused.

And to contribute to Jon's comment, there is quite a markup for memory cards. Not online, at least, but going into a store to buy a name-brand card can cost significantly more than buying one online. And I do agree with Jon- people have made a big investment in their DSLRs and as long as they're around, there's going to be CF cards. Though, a couple of the newer DSLRs do actually use SD, I've noticed. Maybe it will eventually get phased out in the long run, but there's nothing stopping Sony from making a little money before that happens.
