SanDisk Extreme III 32GB Compact Flash Card
Posted Sep 11,2008
The hardware continues to roll out in advance of Photokina. SanDisk today announced a whopping 32-gigabyte compact flash card with data transfer speeds of 30 megabytes per second. According to Sandisk the 32GB Extreme III CF card can store more than 80 minutes of HD video. All National Geographic photographs are captured RAW, so a high capacity card is extremely valuable when using high pixel count cameras like the Canon 1Ds MKIII or the new Sony A900. Underwater photographers will also rejoice, as the new 32GB Extreme III will increase bottom shooting time. Imagine matching this card with the Nikon D3 and its dual CF card slots—64GB if in-camera storage!

I've used Sandisk's Extreme-III's for some time now for both my Canon and Sony cameras and like them very much.
However, recently I purchased, (cheaply), a Sony brand 8GB MemoryStick Pro-Duo card and 4GB Sandisk Micro-SD card and both load very slowly at turn-On in my cameras and don't work at all in my two multi-card memorycard resders.
I'm wondering if these huge memorycards are simply too large to be useful, both IN and OUT of the digital cameras due to initial Read/Write speeds and need to know before considering the 32GB Extreme-III memorycard for my Sony in MemoryStick type.
