We know how you love CompactFlash (don't deny, it had all the play SmartMedia never had back in the day), so we know how very stoked you're going to be to hear about the CF 3.0 spec just released, which bumps up transfers from between 16 MB/sec to 66 (more than 4x the speed of CF 2.1), and adds Ultra DMA 33 and Ultra DMA 66 (to cut power and achieve those speeds). We're stoked on this, but if you just got your new camera, well, sorry, you're out of luck, friend.
