I think there are many DSLR cameras in the market today that are still using the compact flash (CF) cards so I assumed that maybe there are DSLR camera users who want to use faster CF cards. Sandisk has recently announced the next generation of 32GB CF card that is able to reach a maximum transfer rate of 30MB/sec (200x) (read and write). The 32GB SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash will be released in October for approx. $300. [UberGizmo]
