New SanDisk CF cards

[arash_hazeghi]

If you are about to buy CF cards hold on to your money, SanDisk is updating their extreme series with new cards that are rated 60MB/sec (this replaces extreme IV) it is called plain extreme, I was able to squeeze 2 more NEF files with D700 at 8fps and 3 more CR2 files with 50D at 6fps compared to extreme IV (UDMA).

And I believe there is a 90mb/s card on the way too that comes in 32 and 64gb size!

I was told 16 and 32 GB versions of the same card will ship next month but they will be very expensive.

Now up on the Official Sandisk website HERE.
Up to 64gb of storage goodness - not so much goodness with the price though :D

[Ed Cordes]

Sounds good except for the price! I will probably "just" get the Extreme IV.

I hope prices fall come February

The best option right now is the 16GB extreme (not pro) card for ~$170.

I'm sticking to my $200 limit when it comes to memory cards. ;)
