SanDisk CompactFlash Cards: Extreme Speed, Unholy Price

Sep 14 2009, 10:03am CDT | by Robert Evans

Looking for a high-quality, high-capacity, ultra-fast SD card for your DSLR? If so, the SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash card is pretty much the king of the market. With a 90 MB/s write speed, these new cards won't slow your high-end camera down. Their models are sized in 16, 32, and 64 GB models.

The catch to these cool new cards is the price. For the 16 GB model, you're looking to pay $304 . If that seems a little expensive to you, don't even bother checking out the 32 GB ($507) and 64 GB models ($811), you might end up with an aneurysm. Yes, SanDisk's new cards are the top of the line. With prices that ridiculous, they have to be.

These cards are not for the faint of pocketbook. If you're a serious photographer who needs a high-speed card for extended burst shooting, you can't go wrong with the SanDisk Extreme Pro (although you just might go broke). For more information, or to order, check out their website here.
