SanDisk Express cards

[Craig Seeman]

Sony will have 32GB card later this year. I think I saw September. I believe there will be a firmware update in July or August that will allow the use of 3rd party cards. I’m hearing this from various NAB reports.

Hi Craig,
I expected a better price for the SanDisk cards, but the difference here is just 40 US $$.
Better wait for the 32Gbs.

Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
JVC DTV-17″
SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
..and always a big mess on top of the table.

we’ve been using an 8gig Sandisk with no problems.
If you look at the card the ONLY difference is the self-adhesive label. Even the serial numbers follow the same format, and the colours of the metal and plastic are exactly the same.

its 99% likely they are made in the same factory.. Unless the USA camera is different which i don’t believe it is, then I doubt very much if there’s coding in the Sony SxS card that tells the camera its a Sony and not a Sandisk card.
