Yes the newer version has G4 on it though I have been using the older one's without any problems:Glad to pick up a couple at this price for a spring trip to Botswana next year. I've been using these in my Z8. I see there is a newer Black G4 version.
If the B&H website is correct, the newer card has a slightly slower minimum sustained write speed than the older card. Not sure it is enough to make much of a practical difference. But odd that the newer card seems slower on the minimum sustained write speed, as I assume that is what matters most for bursts in a Z8 or Z9.Yes the newer version has G4 on it though I have been using the older one's without any problems:

for $70 more than the sale price of this card, you could get the 650GB version of the delkin power g4 and the performance specs jump up dramatically starting with 650GBMissed this sale… Do CF cards typically get discounted for Black Friday?
right, but look at the sustained write spec for the power g4 650gb version. it’s pretty close to the blackI’m not seeing that price… at BH the 650 is $549. :(
EDIT: I see what you’re referring to now… the Power version is $269. I was looking at the Black.
The 650 gb G4 Power card looks quite attractive in cost without giving up much in minimum sustained write speed. I have one.for $70 more than the sale price of this card, you could get the 650GB version of the delkin power g4 and the performance specs jump up dramatically starting with 650GB
