Submitted by David Cardinal on Thu, 03/24/2011 - 18:45

Sandisk 128GB 100MB CompactFlash CardSandisk is now shipping the ultra-fast, ultra-high capacity 128GB 100 MB/s (about 600x)—that’s not a typo, it’s really 128 Gigabytes, bigger than many laptop hard drives were just a couple years ago. You can get it from B&H for $1199. If that is too rich for your blood then our new favorite value champion is the Transcend 16GB 600x CompactFlash Extreme Plus UDMA Card—available from B&H for $79.95. We have one and it benchmarks faster than our 400x cards and is only $20 more. A small price to pay if it gets you the final shot in an amazing action sequence.

New Nikon Coolpix P300 Shatters Price Barrier for Full-featured “Point and Shoot”–P500 Extends Super-Zoom to 36x

Submitted by David Cardinal on Wed, 02/09/2011 - 18:28

Nikon Coolpix P300 Calling the new Nikon Coolpix P300 a point and shoot is something of a misnomer. Featuring an f/1.8 lens and 12MP sensor for great low light performance and 1080p HD video the P300 operates more like an entry level D-SLR or high end rangefinder camera—except of course it isn’t. It has an integrated 24-100mm (4x) zoom but the manual controls we’re familiar with from SLRs. What is even more stunning is the price. All this for $329! For those who don’t need the ultra-fast lens Nikon has also released some other great new models… Read more »

Amazing Deals on Lexar High Speed Compact Flash & SD Cards from B&H

Submitted by David Cardinal on Tue, 01/11/2011 - 20:00

With cameras increasing in resolution every year and now shooting HD video it seems like it is always time to upgrade our Compact Flash and SD cards. And as I've written about before high-speed cards like the Lexar 300x versions make a real productivity difference for anyone who shoots quickly or shoots alot. The only problem has been the cost of those premium speed cards from a premium brand name like Lexar. But today I got a great announcement of a promotion from B&H where you can purchase Lexar 16GB 300x cards for only $79! (B&H originally told me $69 but several readers have noticed it is actually $79). That's half the normal price.

They've also got some great deals on high speed SD cards for the next few days so order now. I've already ordered a couple...
