New 32GB compact flash cards are showing up in stores near you. For example, Kingston increased the capacity of its newly redesigned CompactFlash Elite Pro Flash memory cards to 32GB.
The new card offers a minimum sustained write speed of 133X and transfer rates of 25MB/sec. read and 20MB/sec. 32GB capacity allows you to store approximately 1,000 RAW images shot with a Canon 5D (~13 mega-pixels) or more than 3,600 super-fine large JPG’s. On the new crop of 20+ mega-pixel cameras, the capacity should be around 600 RAW images or 2,000 JPGs. No matter what camera you use, that is a lot of images you can store on this card!
One word of caution, though: If you have an older camera, check your manufacturer’s web site. Not all cameras support 32GB cards or you might need to install a firmware update before you can use this card.
Price: $154.00, Amazon: $62.94
