SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash Card

Because You Don't Do Slow

By Ethan Dougherty on 5.12.10

Consider yourself an avid photographer? Then you understand the demand for absolute performance from your memory card. Specifically, CompactFlash if you’re using any mid to higher-end DSLR. We just upgraded our arsenal to SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards (16GB ($185), 32GB ($335), 64GB ($700)). The 90 MB/s read/write speed is unbelievably quick (virtually no waiting times) and the Power Core Controller allows us to take serious advantage of burst-shooting has been a boon when there’s no opportunity for a second shot. The 64GB card will set you back an arm & leg, but it delivers in spades. That’s worth our dollars and more importantly, our photographs.
