SanDisk 8GB monster heightens speed

Edvarcl Heng  |  Oct 30, 2007

How fast your camera shoots often depends on the memory card it uses. Even the cleverest camera mechanical artistry is not enough if it is hampered by a sluggish write speed.

Pro photographers would certainly appreciate the 8GB Extreme III SDHC since it's a drugged-up storage card for faster transfer speeds. Though the emphasis is on speed (it reads and writes at 20MB/s), there are some hardware and software extras.

The bundled MicroMate is a USB 2.0 reader that can turn the card into a mass storage device or a card reader while the included RescuePRO software is a data recovery tool to retrieve accidental deletions.

The 8GB SanDisk Extreme III SDHC will be available for retail in the US and Europe at US$179.99. No word on Asia at press time.

That will be good for pro photographers in many aspects... 8GB abit too large for 8MP resolution pic, i guess... But what about Video Cam? Will it be big enough due to the video resolution and time of Rec?
