I have no similar fondness for CF, I like the smallness that comes with SD. And I tend to never pull the card out of its device, so it's not exposed to physical damage. Cheapest 1gb CF on newegg is $49.50, cheapest 1gb SD is $44.95, so I would say the price difference is nolonger an issue.
It was a CF card that I shorted on a spiral notebook. In a socket in a live computer with no case, and I shorted it through the back side of the PCB. Same thing would have happend to SD. Not relevant. :P
I agree battery life isn't a significant issue.
I've noticed myself being more reasonable lately, and it has been distressing. nchanter recently consoled me with the sugggestion that this is due to the currently exceptional state of my sex life.
But since I think we're pretty much agreeing that there are no significant differences (with your preference for CF being irrational), then I still think the currently cheaper A520 (with more powerful zoom) is the better choice for pretty much anybody (within the constraint of $200).
