The new 256GB Extreme Pro cards should be available in October for $989.95. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

    Wow…those prices! You are better off getting a Ninja, taking HDMI out of your camera, and getting an SSD which have 3x those speeds and you can get 256GB for less than $300. That’s what I would do shooting 4K on the Canon 1Dc for example.

    starting to really push the “reality” envelope for claimed performance.

    Well….. In 2003, I bought a Nikon D100 for $2300. I also bought 2 IBM Microdrives – 1gb each for $500 each.

    Slow and capable of 119 images. If you dropped one, it was toast.

    $1000 for 256gb, looks like a deal to me.

    Look at P2 cards for Panasonic video cameras. Or SAS cards for Sony pro video cameras. All more expensive per GB.

    Pro media for video cameras has always been expensive. What you see here is absolutely cheap, fast and almost indestructible.
