The SanDisk 8GB Extreme CF memory card is a storage solution designed for professional photographers who need a reliable and relatively fast way to capture high-resolution photos and videos using DSLR cameras. Here's a breakdown of its key features:
Storage Capacity:
8GB: This capacity can hold a good amount of high-resolution photos and RAW image files. However, for extended shoots or high-resolution video recording, it might be limiting.
Speed:
UDMA Mode: Supports Ultra Direct Memory Access, which allows for faster data transfer between the card and the camera compared to traditional CF cards.
Read Speed: Up to 60MB/s: Enables reasonably fast transfer of images and videos from the card to your computer for editing or storage.
400x Speed Rating: This is a multiplication factor indicating the card's minimum sustained data transfer rate. In this case, 400x translates to around 60MB/s, which aligns with the advertised read speed.
Other Features:
Designed for Durability: Can withstand extreme temperatures, shocks, and vibrations, providing peace of mind when used in professional settings.
