Kingston 16GB Compact Flash Elite Pro 133x - CF/16GB-S2
£39.99
Nikon, Sony and SanDisk have unveiled a new specification for a CompactFlash format that promises to be much faster than current professional photography and videography technology.
The new spec will be a massive step forward, with throughput to increase from 167 megabytes a second to 500 with the use of a PCI Express interface.
In addition, the firms reckon that the new format will have a maximum capacity of 2TB, which would make it fit for recording high-definition video.
"The ultra-high-speed media, which will be realised by this new card format, will expand the capability of digital SLR cameras and other professional digital imaging equipment," explained Kazuyuki Kazami, general manager of Nikon's development and imaging company.
If you can't wait for this to be released, there are plenty of CompactFlash memory cards available at PurelyGadgets.
