According to Cnet.com.au, our trusty Compact Flash memory cards are to be replaced with a new and faster card! Good news is that it could be available by as soon as next year; the bad news is that it may not be compatible with the current Compact Flash standard.
The new version, called CFast, has faster data-transfer speeds that could let photographers take more continuous shots without waiting for the camera to catch up, cut camera makers’ costs for built-in buffer memory, and make it swifter to review photos on a camera or copy them to a computer.
