The announcement was made at the photo industry&rsquo;s PMA 08 International Convention here. Ideal for today&rsquo;s camcorders and point-and-shoot digital cameras that can record both video and still images, the cards offer faster read and write speeds of 15 megabytes per second2 (15MB/sec), up from previous speeds of 10MB/sec read and 9MB/sec write in the SanDisk Ultra II line.&quot;</em><br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1202318251.usr1.jpg" /><br /><br />In the words of James Brown, <em><strong>GOOD GOD Y'ALL</strong></em>! That's a lot of storage on a small card - but it also has a matching price tag. The 32 GB card is $349 USD (but not shipping until April), the 16 GB card is $179 USD, and the 8 GB is $99.
