SanDisk today introduced the 12 and 16-gigabyte (GB) SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash cards to its Extreme III performance line, making these the highest capacity cards in the world. The new high-performance, large-capacity cards are ideal for professional photographers who shoot RAW or high-resolution JPG files and need the performance, reliability and capacity to capture these large files. Its price goes extreme though.



The new cards will have minimum write and read speeds of 20 megabytes per second (MB/sec.) and will ship to photo retailers by the end of the year. SanDisk Extreme III cards use SanDisk-developed ESP (Enhanced Super-Parallel Processing) technology that combines advanced NAND flash memory chips and controller designs, 32-bit RISC processing and leading edge algorithms for an architecture that streamlines every aspect of read and write data transfer operations.



The cards also include RescuePROŽ software that allows photographers to easily recover accidentally deleted images, lost digital images or data. The 12GB version will cost you $780 USD and the 16GB will be priced at $1050 USD. Both card will be available in December.

the 16 gb is as expensive as my camera

I'd rather buy 3 / 4x gb for half the price not that I need it 2 GB has been more than enough for photos and just enough for video.

I have a sony 8mp ds-828 btw
