So you’ve got yourself a shiny new digital camera and you’ve gone picture crazy. So crazy that even the 512MB and 1GB CompactFlash cards you bought aren’t enough to get through 20 minutes worth of picture taking before you fill them up. You need more storage and you don’t care what it costs. Is there any hope? Indeed there is as long as you have very deep pockets:
Pretec’s 12GB CompactFlash card costs more than a new Honda Civic - Engadget
We’d mentioned this once before, but Digital Photography Review is saying that Pretec’s 12GB CompactFlash is supposed to retail for nearly $15,000 when it comes out later this year rather than the $9,999 we had heard it was going to cost. At least in Japan it’s supposed to retail for that much. So basically you can choose between buying a little piece of plastic with some memory on it that you’re probably going to lose anyway, or a brand new 2004 Honda Civic, which actually costs a little less.
If 12GB ain’t enough to satiate your needs then you may want to consider seeking professional help.

It’s going to be $15,000 instead of $9,999? Oh, I’m not going to get one then.
