Sony Europe’s Recording Media & Energy has announced the launched of three high speed CompactFlash cards to meet the capacity and speed demands of professional D-SLR photographers and ambitious amateur photographers. The new Sony CompactFlash 300x card, which complement the existing line-up of 66x and 133x cards, will be available with capacities of 2GB, 4GB and 8GB. They will be branded as part of Sony’s Alpha D-SLR camera system.

The high speed CompactFlash 300x cards allow UDMA-enabled D-SLR digital camera users to record more frames per second in continuous advance shooting mode and to transfer their images to the PC very rapidly to make room for new photographic projects. An 8GB CompactFlash card can hold up to 2,000 JPEG photos taken in 12 Megapixel resolution in the ‘Standard’ image setting, or up to 1,363 photos in ‘Fine’ mode. Even if both RAW and JPEG image data are recorded, the 8GB card offers enough space for more than 313 digital photos.

The Sony CompactFlash cards are compatible with a wide range of products featuring a CompactFlash slot, including many D-SLR Cameras, many digital cameras, printers and other imaging and computer peripherals. Many PCs feature built-in CompactFlash slots as standard, while there are adaptors and card readers available on the market to allow users to access and transfer their data onto CompactFlash cards using any PC or laptop.
