Today SanDisk announced its latest large capacity, high-performance CompactFlash memory card for DSLR cameras and video cameras. The new Extreme III CF card has 32GB of storage space and promises a write speed of 30MB/s.

SanDisk says that the new high capacity CF card can store 80 minutes of 100 MB/sec, 10-bit 4:2:2 HD video. The CF card is ideal for photographers who shoot exclusively in RAW mode. The 32GB CF Extreme III card will be available in October for $299.99.

“The 32GB SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash cards are a great fit for our Infinity DMC 1000/10 and DMC 1000/20 camcorders,” said Scott Sheehan, director of marketing for new and emerging markets at Thomson. “Our customers want a choice in media that meets the needs of their file-based workflows. Solid state memory provides the fastest access to such content, and with SanDisk CompactFlash it’s also affordable. Using SanDisk’s 32GB Extreme III CompactFlash card, our customers can record more than 80 minutes of 100 MB/s, 10-bit, 4:2:2 HD video at the high performance needed for today’s professional video applications.”
