Sony’s CompactFlash cards in the flesh

Filed under: Array — @ 2:19 am

Hey, don’t beat yourself up too much, as you probably weren’t the only one heavily doubting Sony’s ability to churn out a non-proprietary flash card, but nevertheless, it looks like the company has delivered as promised. The 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB CompactFlash Type I cards are purportedly aimed at filling the slot in the outfit’s DSLR lineup, but of course, will play nice with any other CF-accepting device out there as well. All three editions tout 10Mbps (66x) transfer speeds, while the 2GB and 4GB flavors come in 20Mbps (133x) versions as well, and while we can’t imagine why having a Sony logo on your CF card would truly lead to fantasies being fulfilled, the entire trio should be shipping within a few days for a currently undisclosed price.
