Toshiba 5 GB PCMCIA Type II HD |
|
A
year and two months since they announced the 2 GB MK2001MPL PCMCIA Type
II HD Toshiba has today announced an all new 5 GB unit. The PAMHD005 offers
huge capacity to professional digital photographers using the Kodak DCS
series of digital SLR's (which have two PCMCIA Type II slots). With one
of these units you could store an amazing 585 RAW shots from the new 6
megapixel Kodak DCS 760 (and you could, indeed have TWO).
NOTE: This card would only work in those cameras with full PCMCIA slots (not Compact Flash).
