CF cards are much more robust than a SD card....... I believe most higher end - so called "ProCameras" use CF cards - that should tell you something . I use CF as my primary , SD as back up in my D800e. feel the difference !!!

CF Card ONLY.
CF card slot has a much higher possible transfer speed than the SD slot.
And, IF you use an SD card (any card speed) in the SD slot, the CF card slot will be speed limited to the same crappy speed as the SD. Terrible choice by Canon.
