A salesperson at a camera store told me that the reason you can rarely ever find non-pro cameras with CF instead of SD anymore is because people jumping on the digicam bandwagon would buy 8MP cameras, put 1x cheapo CF cards in them and then return the camera because it was "too slow".
Since no pro cameras were getting returned for this reason, they usually still run on CF.
