Is there any proof that the xd cards are "Power hungry"?
ie. 2 sets of fully recharged 2.500ma /2.300ma batteries for aprox 250 shots? compared to 1,ooo shots on a Sandisc Ultra
11 cf card 2gb. With only one set of recharged batteries.
Camera used....Fuji s-9100.
[Read about this on the "Shutterbug" forum.]
only ask because lately, on my S7000,switching from
Olympus xd 1 gb. to a non generic cf 1gb... my batteries seem to last longer as well.
[I use Energizer Ultimate lithium batteries.]

Don't know about that as I just use it as a back up emergency feature on my E-system cameras but they take ten times longer to format in camera than a CF card so it could be very well true!
