SanDisk has launched a new high-speed CompactFlash card that costs more than many of the digital cameras it's designed to sit within.

The SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash offers 128GB of storage and offers industry-leading write speeds of 100MB/sec, according to the company. Such performance doesn't come cheap: the card costs a staggering $1,500 (that's £1,161 in proper money). For that sum, you could pick up a mid-range DSLR such as the Canon EOS 7D.

It also probably won't work in most cameras. I think mine is a few years old and tops out at 32GB cards.

Good excuse to buy a new camera. ;D TBH, I wouldn't want a single large card, I'd prefer to have smaller cards. Eggs & basket...
