FilmMan Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Andrew, I was thinking the same thing. It'll be interesting to see what Canon is up too for this CFast Card. The CFast Card was expected for August. August has passed. So anytime soon for the card. Expensive but will come down in price as time passes. Cheers.
