SanDisk has just announced its new Extreme III Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo that caters for professional photographers and advanced amateurs who want to get serious in their hobby while using Sony’s digital single-lens reflex cameras. This is a collaboration between SanDisk and Sony, being an extension of the existing Memory Stick PRO format that is able to bring unprecedented read and write speeds of 30MB/s for digital cameras and camcorders. Now that’s fast if I ever saw one - make sure you aren’t held back by cheaper point-and-shoot digital cameras where the flash needs to be recharged (this takes quite long). This new line of SanDisk Extreme III cards are also pretty hardy, capable of operating in extreme temperatures ranging from -13 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Each purchase comes with a lifetime warranty. You can choose from the 4GB card for $89.99 while the 8GB card is priced at $149.99.
