Expresscard: memory, communication and other modules for your computer

It is now available through Lenovo.com, for 150$.

AJA Video Systems today announced Ki Pro, a portable tapeless video device that records files to the Apple ProRes 422 codec directly from camera. Virtually any video and audio source can be fed into Ki Pro to record pristine 10-bit ProRes 422 media that is then immediately available to edit within Apple’s Final Cut Studio.

Ki Pro records hours of media to a removable storage module with built in FireWire 800 or to ExpressCard/34 Flash SSDs.
