Modern CCD photometry of early type galaxies does not allow one to differentiate unambiguously between E and SO galaxies. A de Vaucouleurs law fits the major axis profiles of SO galaxies as frequently as it does those of ellipticals. The data do, however, indicate that exponential disks occur more often in SOs than they do in elliptical galaxies. Furthermore, ellipticals exhibit their maximum flattening at intermediate radii more frequently than do SO galaxies.
