Lexar Media Ships 64GB And 128GB Professional SDXC Cards

We're getting closer and closer to living in a world where 1TB memory cards are commonplace. Just a few years ago, having a 1GB flash card in your camera was a big deal. Now, even the simplest of cameras can acquire a 1GB card for just a few dollars. The technology is advancing, and larger capacity cards are growing easier to find, and cheaper to buy. Lexar Media is pushing the envelope even further by this week shipping the industry's first 128GB Professional SDXC card, not to mention a 64GB version for those who either don't need all of that space yet or simple aren't willing to push their budget any further.


Both of the cards are available in B&H Photo and Video, and Adorama Camera stores across the U.S, as well as on www.lexar.com, with prices of $199.99 and $329.99 respectively. These cards are designed for speed. Shooting HD video? They can handle it. Shooting continuous photos in RAW? These have you covered. Also, the Professional SDXC cards offer a Class 10 speed rating with a minimum guaranteed speed of 133x, or 20MB per second, and each one ships with Image Rescue software that can help you recover lost files should you be put in that awful situation.

The Lexar Professional SDXC cards include a limited lifetime warranty and free, dedicated professional technical support, and they're shipping now if you're willing to pay top-dollar for the biggest and fastest. And now, we wait for the 256GB version to dwarf both of these.
