Microdia has announced a new Compact Flash card, the 64GB XTRA ELITE CF, which will strike fear into the heart of the stoutest photographer.
The massive 64GB CF card is the first to market, beating out Samsung, among others, and can carry 19,000 jpegs from a 20 MegaPixel camera.
Of course, that also means you’d have almost 20,000 images sitting in one place; hardly a sensible option for anyone who has suffered a corrupted or worse, lost, memory card.
I also wonder why anyone professional enough to be using a 20 MegaPixel camera and a presumably very expensive CF card would be shooting jpeg.
The Microdia 64GB XTRA ELITE CF has some impressive specs for their world beating card, including sustained read and write speeds of 300x or 45MB/second.
The card is available now, although the price remains unknown.

Wow, 64 gigs ! When prices come down, I can just about avoid buying a bigger hard drive. All I’d have to do is use a few of these, and preserve my data too.
I can hardly wait for 128 and 256GB sizes.
Keep up the good work.
CF drive adapter for the ipod video, 64 gigs of space in a 30 gb video body. plus no spin up or spin down time = more songs faster and longer battery life
