Canon and Sony News for Sep 2010 (Page 3)

The SD Association has announced a new memory card design.

This is "... a new, dual-row pin memory card design achieving bus interface speeds of up to 300 megabytes per second for SDXC and SDHC devices and memory cards. It is fully backwards compatible, allowing equipped devices full use of any SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards."

"New high speed interface signals will be assigned on the second row of pins of select SDXC and SDHC memory cards offering the new speed. This option will be available in both full-size and micro form factors and does not change the physical size or shape of the cards. This design will be part of the forthcoming SD 4.0 specification, expected in early 2011."

Adorama has the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV in refurbished condition (like new in my experience) for only $4,199.00 shipped. Act fast if you want one of these!

Just announced: Zeiss Filters and Camera Strap.

I could easily see the filters coming, but I have to admit that the camera strap blind-sided me.
