The second bundling cooperation

Sep 1, 2006 12:15 GMT  ·  By

Phase One, makers of the well-known digital backs, and SanDisk Corporation, the world's largest supplier of flash storage card products, have teamed up and are making photographers a tempting offer.

All SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash cards now include a full and free edition of Phase One's Capture One LE RAW Workflow software. Capture One LE normally retails at $/?99.

The bundle of the two products will enable photographers that shoot in JPEG to easily join their professional peers in working in RAW.

Purchase of Extreme III CompactFlash cards also offers upgrades from Capture One LE to Capture One PRO at a 15 per cent discount. Upgrades can be purchased through Phase One's on-line store at www.phaseone.com.

"The superior quality and flexibility of the RAW file format has quickly seen it become the gold standard for digital capture. It gives photographers unparalleled control over the appearance of their final images by enabling them to alter camera settings post-capture. By bundling two complementary and industry leading products more photographers will be encouraged to take advantage of the benefits of RAW and the level of investment photographers must make to attain professional standards is reduced," Trine Voss, VP Sales & Marketing for the Capture One product line, says.

This is the second bundling collaboration between Phase One and SanDisk. All of Phase One's P-series digital camera backs, including the P 45, P 30 and P 21 products, are bundled with the SanDisk Extreme III Compact Flash storage cards and accommodating USB readers.
