No real benefits? Larger capacity, faster speeds for one (even though most cameras can't transfer data at those speeds). Another benefit to photographers is physical ruggedness and resistance to rain and other crap out there in the environment (remember the Engadget article on the camera whose pictures were recovered after two years under water? That was CF). Because of the open IDE standard, there is also a wider gamut of compatibility between systems and cards alike. Granted, for most people there aren't many advantages, but next time I shoot in the rain I am going to take all the precautions I can to make sure my pictures stay on my card.
No camera is going to choke on a 150x SDHC card. With an 8gb card, how often are you going to be taking it out anyways? They're plenty rugged as far as I'm concerned. I've had SD and CF cards survive a swim before. As a previous XTi owner, I will say that I prefer SD cards in my D80.
And the fucking blog has pictures that engadget doesn't.
