Smooth Operator Hasselblad released the H4D-40 and H4D-50 in early February 2010 and we had a chance to get up close and personal with the H4D-40 while in Atlanta and Miami. The first noticeable difference from the well-respected H-system predecessors is the new white LED autofocus assist light in comparison to the infrared beam used in prior H-system cameras. This projected a bright target with dark lines to create maximum contrast for the autofocus system and produced zippy, accurate autofocus from the HCD 28mm, wide open at f/4.0 through f/6.8 for maximum difficulty with the shallow depth of field. |

Milpitas, Calif., Sept. 14, 2009 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), the global leader in flash memory cards, today introduced a new line of SanDisk Extreme® Pro™ CompactFlash® memory cards, setting a new standard for fast, reliable, high-capacity memory cards designed for professional photographers. SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards feature a new SanDisk® Power Core Controller™, an advanced memory controller that enables lightning-fast read and write speeds of up to 90MB/s, doubling the performance from previous SanDisk high-end camera memory cards. The cards are shipping worldwide now with capacities of 16 gigabytes (GB), 32GB and 64GB.
SanDisk develops its flash controllers and memory chips together, allowing the company to perfectly match and fine-tune the two technologies throughout the testing process, resulting in high-performance products with industry-leading endurance. The SanDisk Power Core Controller brings numerous benefits to the SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards, including:
- High-Performance: The SanDisk® Power Core™ Controller's dual-lane architecture and software algorithms double card performance, enabling the SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards' read/write speeds of up to 90MB/s over a UDMA-6 bus.
- Increased-Reliability: The SanDisk Power Core Controller's firmware algorithms and 42-bit ECC engine maintain data integrity and extended card endurance through optimized wear leveling.
- Simplified Design:To further increase overall card durability, the SanDisk Power Core Controller features an integrated design that requires fewer individual components on the card's printed circuit board.
The SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards' 16 to 64GB capacity range offers the storage space needed to allow extended shooting sessions without having to reload, while the cards' 90MB/s read/write speeds ensure that professionals can transfer their data quickly. This unique combination of speed and capacity makes the new line of cards well suited for professional usage models involving large amounts of data and tight deadlines.
The SanDisk Extreme Pro ExpressCard™ Adapter is optimized to take advantage of the SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash card's up to 90MB/s read speed (available in October 2009.)Editor's Note:
We used the 16GB model in the Hasselblad H3DII-50 for a recent shoot; the Extreme Pro 16GB will hold approximately 200 RAW images and uses the UDMA-6 native write speed found in all Hasselblad H2D and H3D (and new H4D) models. Very impressive performance is the result of continuous engineering improvements - allowing the modern photographer to easily embrace advances in technology that improve workflow and the bottom line. A Hands-On review in November will provide speed and transfer information using the ExpressCard adaptor. |
