RED SxS

Has the red team considered developing for these flash modules. The speed is there on paper . . . I wonder what real world testing will show. It is suppose to have a transfer speed of 800 mbps.

Overcranking anyone. I bet that would get Sony's panties in a knot to see their flash in a red camera. Sandisk is manufacturing these also.

Wow. Looks awesome. I am expecting BIG advancements in the solid state cards and their capabilities over the next few years, as they become the defacto standard of the motion picture recording industry.

Overcranking on a CF card may not be right around the corner, but it ain't far up the road.

Hopefully the price will be less on the street. And capacity will continue to rise.

NAND prices have actually been rising. The FTC is opening an investigation into price fixing.
