Key Messages:
8GB SDHC cards from Lexar
From dpreview.com
CES 2008: Swift shooters supported with superior speed SDHC. Lexar has launched 8GB SDHC cards in all its products lines, including Professional 133X cards with their category defying 20MB/sec minimum sustained write performance.
Diminutive memory card update day continues at DPReview as Lexar announces 8GB SDHC cards in Standard, Platinum II 60X and Professional 133X flavors. The key thing to note is that the speeds quoted refer to minimum sustained write speed, rather than the maximum data transfer speed (which usually refers to reading from the card and need not be maintained). As such, the Professional 133X card doesn’t just conform to the SDHC ‘class 6,’ but could be classed as ‘class 20,’ if such a thing existed. And the Platinum II 60X, with its 9MB/sec minimum sustain write speed also exceeds ‘class 6.’
Press Release: New High-Capacity Memory Cards Deliver the Ultimate in Functionality and Performance to Those Managing Images, Video, and Music
Fremont, CA, January 8, 2008 — Lexar, a leader in advanced digital media and accessories, announced today that it has increased the capacity of its SDHC ( Secure Digital High Capacity) format memory cards in all three of the company’s popular product lines including Professional, Platinum II, and standard. Available later this month, the new 8GB cards provide consumers and professionals with the ultimate in functionality and performance, and are designed for SDHC-compatible devices such as digital cameras, PDAs, and mobile phones, to name only a few of the many popular SDHC-compatible product categories. “The capacity and performance of these new products allow photographers and videographers to confidently shoot without needing to change their memory cards, and allow mobile consumers to maximize the features and functionality of their cell phones and PDAs,” said John Santoro, senior product marketing manager, Lexar. “As a result, our customers are confident in the memory card brand they choose to help them succeed in their job or improve their digital lifestyle experience.” Lexar Professional 133x 8GB SDHC Lexar Platinum II 60x 8GB SDHC Lexar 8GB SDHC
Lexar 300x CompactFlash cards and new readers
From dpreview.com
Pre-PMA 2007: Lexar has today announced new Professional 8 GB 300x (45 MB/sec, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes, or 42.9 MiB/sec). These cards can achieve faster throughput thanks to their support of the UDMA (Ultra DMA) protocol, supporting Mode 5 (up to 100 MB/sec). In addition Lexar has also introduced a matching FireWire 800 CompactFlash reader and dual media USB 2.0 reader.
Press Releases: New UDMA-Enabled CompactFlash® Cards Capable of Minimum Sustained Write Speeds of 45MB/s; Significantly Improve Digital Photography Workflow
Fremont, Ca., February 20, 2007 – Lexar, a leader in advanced digital media and accessories, today introduced Professional UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) memory cards, the latest addition to the company’s award-winning Professional line of high-performance cards. When paired with a UDMA-enabled device, such as Lexar’s new Professional FireWire 800 Reader, UDMA cards improve the professional photographer’s digital imaging experience by reducing the time needed to download captured images to a destination computer. In addition, the benefits of Lexar Professional UDMA memory cards extend well beyond card-to-computer transfer rates, to improved in-camera performance in several UDMA-enabled digital camera backs and digital SLR cameras expected to be announced later this year. Speed-rated at 300x, or capable of a minimum sustained write speed of 45MB per second, and available in capacities of 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB, new Lexar Professional UDMA cards deliver a 125% performance improvement over Lexar’s previous generation 133x CompactFlash® product line when the card is used with a UDMA-enabled device.
“Professional photographers today capture a large volume of high-resolution images,” said John Omvik, Director of Professional Product Marketing, Lexar. “Our new Professional UDMA 300x speed-rated cards dramatically improve the photographer’s workflow by reducing the time needed to download images after a shoot. Working in conjunction with one of our new UDMA-enabled CompactFlash card readers, a photographer instantly benefits by having more time to capture, manage, and share his or her images.”
“The positive impact I experienced was dramatic,” said professional photographer Reed Hoffmann. “Shooting in RAW mode, I filled six Lexar Professional UDMA flash cards during a two-day shoot in Yosemite. The improvement in my working process was exceptional as I was able to spend half the usual time moving data from the cards to the computer. For me, this is particularly important when I am out in the field working from battery-powered laptops. That time savings helps conserve battery strength and enhances my ability to focus on other client projects,” he added.
“UDMA technology can greatly assist professional photographers who have a serious interest in reducing administrative time and improving their digital imaging workflow,” said Chris Chute, manager with IDC’s digital imaging practice. “At the start of the process, improved in-camera performance will help professionals capture sought-after images much more quickly, while the faster download performance should improve the time needed to manage captured content.”
Like all products in the Lexar Professional line, the new 300x speed-rated cards come with a limited lifetime warranty, free dedicated technical support, and a comprehensive suite of software that includes a full version of Corel® Paint Shop Pro® X, Lexar Image Rescue™ 3 and Lexar Backup n Sync™. Lexar Professional 300x speed-rated flash memory cards will be available in April. New Models Include FireWire 800 Version of Widely Popular Stackable Card Reader and Newly Designed Dual-Slot USB 2.0 Reader for UDMA-Enabled CompactFlash® and Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHCTM) Flash Cards
Fremont, Ca., February 20, 2007 – Lexar, a leader in advanced digital media and accessories, today introduced two new professional-grade flash memory card readers designed to deliver increased download speeds from the card to a computer. One reader features a new and unique industrial design and is fully compatible with two new flash card interface standards: Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) CompactFlash®, a high-performance flash memory protocol based on the CompactFlash form factor, and Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC™), a memory standard that supports capacities of 4GB and higher in the Secure Digital (SD™) form factor. The second reader is an upgrade to Lexar’s already-existing stackable model that allows for concurrent download of information from multiple flash memory cards. Lexar’s two latest card readers offer superior download speeds when working in conjunction with new Lexar Professional UDMA 300x CompactFlash and 133x SDHC flash memory cards.
“These latest card readers are incredible,” said John Omvik, Director of Professional Product Marketing, Lexar. “I can now download an entire shoot from our new 300x Professional UDMA cards in half the time I could with our previous generation of products. This is a tremendous time savings, especially for sports shooters and other pros on a tight deadline. These readers are an absolute must-have accessory for any photographer that wants to get the most performance from his or her new 300x Professional UDMA cards.”
Like its predecessor, the Professional UDMA FireWire 800 Reader has a unique stackable design and allows for concurrent download of images stored on multiple cards when up to four readers are daisy-chained together. The Professional UDMA FireWire 800 Reader is compatible with all CompactFlash (Type I and Type II), MicroDrives™, and UDMA-enabled CompactFlash cards, including Lexar’s recently introduced 300x speed-rated family. It ships with one 1-meter and one 18-centimeter FireWire 800 cables. The 18-cm cable is convenient when two or more readers are daisy-chained or when the reader is used with a laptop. The reader is also compatible with FireWire 400 devices when used with an optional FireWire 800-to-400 cable (sold separately).
Lexar’s new high-performance Professional Dual-Slot Reader is USB 2.0-enabled and fully compatible with SD, SDHC, CompactFlash and UDMA-enabled CompactFlash memory cards. The unit’s unique compact design makes it ideal for professionals working in-studio or on the road, and allows for both card slots to be accessed simultaneously.
The Professional UDMA FireWire 800 Reader will be available in April for the suggested retail price of $79.99, while the Professional Dual-Slot USB Reader will be available in June for the suggested retail price of $49.99. Both new flash memory card readers require Windows XP or later, or Mac OS 10.2.8 or higher.
Lexar Professional 133x 4 GB SDHC card
From dpreview.com
Pre-PMA 2007: Lexar has today announced its new Professional 133x 4 GB SDHC cards. Lexar quote a minimum sustained write speed of 20 MB/sec, far beyond the fastest SDHC speed classification and hence the card carries the top label, a Class 6 (6 MB/sec). Lexar Professional SDHC cards will be available in March.
Press Release: New High-Performance, High-Capacity Cards Designed for Photographers Capturing Large Volumes of High-Resolution Images with SDHC-Enabled Digital SLR Cameras
Fremont, Ca., February 13, 2007 – Lexar, a leader in advanced digital media and accessories, today expanded its professional product line with the introduction of a 133x speed-rated Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC™) flash memory card designed for professional and high-end amateur photographers who demand the freedom and flexibility to quickly capture a large number of high-resolution images with SDHC-enabled digital cameras. Delivering a minimum sustained write speed capability of 20MB per second, Lexar Professional SDHC cards allow photographers to capture more images while spending less time changing memory cards.
“Our new Professional SDHC card meets the increasing storage capacity requirements of professionals and enthusiasts who demand the highest performance and want to take full advantage of the speed and file sizes provided by today’s digital SLR cameras,” said John Omvik, Director of Professional Product Marketing, Lexar. “The RAW workflow capabilities of these new cards allow users to fully exploit the great flexibility and image quality that DSLR cameras offer. Capturing large RAW files on smaller-sized cards was a limitation in the past, but our Professional 4GB SDHC card removes this limitation. SDHC-based camera users can now benefit from the many advantages of high-capacity storage that CompactFlash-based system users have always enjoyed.”
Increased capacity is only one of the benefits provided by Lexar’s new Professional SDHC card. The card’s high-speed performance, providing a minimum write speed capability of 20MB per second, significantly reduces the time needed to download stored information. When used in conjunction with the high-speed USB 2.0 reader included free with every Lexar Professional SDHC card, photographers will experience an immediate improvement when downloading stored images to a destination device.
In addition to free dedicated technical support and a limited lifetime warranty, Lexar Professional SDHC memory cards come with a comprehensive suite of valuable software available for free download, including Lexar Image Rescue™ 3 and Corel® Paint Shop Pro® X.
Lexar Professional SDHC cards will be available in March.
About SDHC
SDHC cards are based on the Secure Digital Association’s 2.0 specifications, utilizing the FAT32 file system. While the form factor of SDHC cards is identical to that of standard SD cards, SDHC cards are not backwards compatible with standard SD host devices, meaning that SDHC cards cannot be used in standard SD host devices. SDHC cards are specifically designed for use with SDHC-enabled devices, and allow users to leverage the higher capacity offered by the cards within those devices.
Lexar Professional 133X cards, tested
From dpreview.com
Pre-PMA 2006: Lexar has today announced new professional series storage cards with a speed rating of 133X (20MB/sec). Available in both Compact Flash and Secure Digital formats at a range of capacities these professional cards also include Lexar’s proprietary Write Acceleration technology. These cards promise to be the fastest currently available, we have had a selection of them on hand for a few days and have some test results inside. To report the actual ‘real life’ performance of these new cards we tested them on the fastest computer devices we have (CardBus CF and SD readers) as well as the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II and Nikon D2X. Remember any card with a capacity above 2 GB will be utilizing the FAT32 filesystem. Note that ’1X’ in Lexar’s terminology refers to 150 KB/sec (hence these new cards are rated at around 20 MB/sec). When tested in the cardbus readers we used a prorietary timging tool with a 150 MB set of RAW files, when testing using the cameras we shot a burst of continuous RAW files. As you can see the new 2 GB 133X Lexar SD card produced our fastest ever transfer rates using the CardBus SD reader, peaking at around 9.8 MB/sec write and 12.3 MB/sec read. That said this is still some way off the claimed maximum throughput of around 20 MB/sec.
The only ‘fast’ camera we had on hand to test the SD cards was the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II which did put in a very impressive SD transfer performance when we reviewed it. As you can see below it derives no advantage from the new Lexar card over the SanDisk Extreme or Ultra II cards although it is faster than the older 32X Lexar card.
Again an increase in performance from the new Lexar cards compared to the previous generation 80X cards but interestingly not as fast as SanDisk’s Extreme III card. The Lexar Pro 133X 1 GB card achieved a maximum write speed of around 60X and a read speed of around 72X.
A good step in performance over the 80X cards with both the D2X and EOS-1Ds Mark II although not the ‘leap’ we had perhaps hoped for. It does look from these results that Lexar has ‘caught up’ with SanDisk’s Extreme III cards.
Press Release: Fremont, Ca., January 17, 2006– Lexar Media, Inc. (Nasdaq: LEXR), a world leader in advanced digital media technologies announced availability of its new Professional CompactFlash® (CF) and Secure Digital™ (SD) flash memory cards designed to deliver optimal performance in all digital SLR cameras and speed-rated 133X, or capable of a minimum sustained write speed of 20MB per second. Lexar’s new flash memory products signify the company’s continued commitment to providing professional photographers with reliable flash memory cards that deliver near instantaneous image read and write speeds, and seamless operation throughout each step of the digital imaging workflow process enabling the user to spend more time taking pictures.
“Our new 133X cards allow digital SLR cameras to optimally perform as they were designed, to transfer images and information almost instantaneously, beneficial in a number of ways to the photographer’s digital imaging workflow,” said John Omvik, director of professional product marketing, Lexar. “Lexar’s new 133X cards are ideal for those photographers who require reliable, high-performance flash memory that makes the most of all the professional-level features available in their digital SLR camera.”
Like all of Lexar’s Professional series CompactFlash memory cards, the new 133X cards include Lexar’s Write Acceleration Technology (WA). The WA technology allows digital cameras to exchange and store images faster, thus attaining near instantaneous image-write speeds in cameras supporting this feature. In addition, the new 133X CompactFlash and SD cards include Image RescueÔ 2.0, Lexar’s award-winning image recovery software, a trial version of Photo MechanicÔ 4.0, the popular image browsing software from Camera Bits, and Corel® Paint Shop Pro® 9, an image editing and enhancement software package. As with all of Lexar’s professional products, each card includes a lifetime warranty and unlimited access to Lexar’s dedicated technical support team for professional photographers.
“Second to reliability, speed is the name of the game in digital photography, and Lexar has a lengthy history providing cards and accessories that are not only fast but also substantially improve workflow,” said professional photographer Vincent Laforet. “Having 133X cards in both card formats allows me to leverage both slots in my Canon EOS 1D Mark II. By storing RAW files on my CF cards and JPEGs on my SD card, I maximize my camera’s technology and reduce administrative time when I’m back in my studio,” he added.
“I am constantly working from remote locations like the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge and the Australian rainforests, so I need fast cards with the maximum capacity, said professional wildlife photographer Moose Peterson. “I am very impressed with Lexar’s new 133X CompactFlash card because I know that they are capable of rapidly storing and uploading large images, especially those taken during burst mode shooting with the Nikon D2Hs. I love taking as many pictures as I can without changing cards and I shoot confidently knowing that in addition to an immediate write speed, the 4GB 133X has plenty of room for my largest files.
In addition to a valuable suite of software, Lexar is providing additional value to its 2GB SD flash memory card package by including a high-speed USB 2.0 Card Reader with its 133X cards to proactively address an industry compatibility issues that may otherwise arise with some SD card readers. Lexar’s new 133X speed-rated Professional Series CompactFlash and SD flash memory cards are currently available in photo specialty stores and through online resellers.
Additional information regarding Lexar’s new 133X Professional Series flash memory cards can be found on the company’s digital photography website, located at www.lexar.com/dp.

If you own/use a Kodak Pro DCS or Sony DSC-D7x0 digital camera then this story may interest you. You can now get 0.5GB capacity on an ATA card!
The new ATA Flash cards allow digital camera users to take more high-resolution photos with a single card without the inconvenience of swapping out cards. Ideal for power users of handheld PCs and digital camera products, the higher capacity ATA Flash card means more memory for applications and data storage at affordable pricing.
“The Kingston ATA Flash cards are the result of combining Kingston’s expertise in memory design and innovative PC Card technology,” said Christina Chu, Flash product manager, Peripherals Division, Kingston. “Consumers want to take advantage of higher capacity solutions to increase their storage necessities in electronic devices, such as digital cameras, handheld PCs and data storage of notebooks. New electronic devices being released today demand higher storage in order to use the device to its full capabilities,” added Chu.
Based on a Type II PC Card form factor using NAND flash memory technology, the Kingston ATA Flash cards are the ideal choice for a rugged, high-performance, portable data storage device. Kingston’s ATA Flash card technology emulates an IDE compatible disk drive, but unlike a typical disk drive, this smaller, lighter, noiseless, shock-resistant, semiconductor device has no moving parts.
ATA Flash technology is designed for a broad range of PC Cards, ATA compatible products, including handheld PCs and digital cameras. Because of its small size and ease of use, Kingston’s ATA Flash cards can go places where a conventional disk drive simply cannot. All Kingston’s Flash memory products carry a five year warranty and free technical support.

SanDisk Extreme III 12 & 16GB CompactFlash
From dpreview.com
Press Release: Large Capacities, High Reliability and High Performance, Ideal For Digital SLRs & Broadcast-Quality Camcorders
COLOGNE, GERMANY, Sep. 26, 2006 – SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) today introduced the 12- and 16-gigabyte (GB) SanDisk Extreme ® III CompactFlash ® cards to its award-winning Extreme III performance line, making these the highest capacity cards in the world. The new high-performance, large-capacity cards are ideal for professional photographers who shoot RAW or high-resolution JPG files and need the performance, reliability and capacity to capture these large files.
The new SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash cards can also be used with the Grass Valley ™ Infinity Series Digital Media Camcorder, the first camcorder introduced in the broadcast industry that uses non-proprietary, removable, solid-state flash memory cards as recording and playback media.
The new cards will have minimum write and read speeds of 20 megabytes per second (MB/sec.) and will ship to photo retailers by the end of the year. The announcement was made at the Photokina trade show where SanDisk is demonstrating products in Hall 6, Stand D78/E79.
“The beauty of using large capacity cards like the 12- and 16GB SanDisk Extreme III cards is the freedom to shoot without worrying about filling up the card,” said Jonathan Torgovnik, contract photographer for Newsweek magazine and international freelance photographer. “I shoot in RAW mode almost exclusively and the large files can fill up a card very quickly. Having a large capacity card lets me focus on what I love to do—take pictures.”
Tanya Chuang, SanDisk’s senior retail product marketing manager, said, “The SanDisk Extreme III line combines exceptional performance and reliability with large capacities to provide an ideal storage solution for professional photographers that meets their shooting and workflow requirements. We believe that SanDisk will continue to be the preferred choice by professional photographers based on our capacity and performance advantages as well as our commitment to the digital photography market as a whole.”
SanDisk Extreme USB 2.0 Readers Improve Workflow
While the speed of the card is important for in-camera performance, card-to-computer transfer rates are becoming an increasingly important workflow consideration. The time it takes to transfer images to a computer can be a bigger bottleneck now that card capacities have expanded into the multi-gigabyte range. The SanDisk Extreme USB 2.0 reader is designed to transfer images as quickly as possible.
SanDisk Extreme III cards use SanDisk-developed ESP (Enhanced Super-Parallel Processing) technology that combines advanced NAND flash memory chips and controller designs, 32-bit RISC processing and leading edge algorithms for an architecture that streamlines every aspect of read and write data transfer operations.
In addition, SanDisk works closely with major camera manufacturers to ensure speed and compatibility. The ESP architecture effectively removes the card as the bottleneck in data storage applications.
SanDisk Extreme III cards have the industry’s widest guaranteed operating temperature range from a minus 13F (minus 25C) to a 185F (plus 85C). The cards also include RescuePRO ® software that allows photographers to easily recover accidentally deleted images, lost digital images or data.
Pricing and Availability
SanDisk Extreme III cards are available in CompactFlash, Memory Stick PRO Duo ™ and SD ™ card formats. Suggested retail prices for the two new capacities are:

SanDisk has today announced its new Extreme IV CompactFlash cards and the Extreme Firewire 800/400 reader. These new cards will be available in 2, 4 and 8 GB capacities and are rated as delivering ‘minimum read and write speeds’ of 40 MB/sec. They are also designed to be able to withstand extremes of temperature from -25°C (-13°F) to 85°C (185°F), which will be good news for anyone in the UK at the moment.
Press Release: New Cards Result In Faster Capture of High-Resolution Images and Quicker Card-to-Computer Transfers
NEW YORK, NY, July 19, 2006 – SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today introduced the new SanDisk Extreme® IV line of CompactFlashâ digital film cards for professional photographers. The line is targeted at photographers who require the highest possible performance and the largest capacities for their medium format and high-end digital single lens reflex (SLR) cameras. The SanDisk Extreme IV cards are available in capacities of up to 8-gigabytes (GB)* and deliver minimum read and write speeds of 40 megabytes per second (MB/sec.)** making these the fastest flash memory cards in the world. This exceptionally fast card speed is critical when shooting large numbers of high-resolution images.
SanDisk also introduced the new SanDisk Extreme FireWire reader that can transfer images from the SanDisk Extreme IV cards to a computer at up to 40MB/sec. for significantly improved workflow efficiency. These new products were announced at a press conference held today at the NASDAQ Market Site in New York City.
The SanDisk Extreme IV cards are targeted at the professional photographer who needs the absolute highest performance and maximum reliability. The company will continue to offer the SanDisk Extreme III and SanDisk Ultraâ II lines.
“The new SanDisk Extreme IV CompactFlash card and SanDisk Extreme FireWire reader offers photographers a number of key benefits,” said Tanya Chuang, senior retail marketing manager at SanDisk. “First of all, the new cards are twice the speed of the current SanDisk Extreme III cards and offer performance that is ideal for medium format cameras, digital backs and other high-resolution cameras that require the combination of high performance and large capacities. In addition, they are available in industry-leading capacities so that photographers can capture a larger number of RAW or other high-resolution images. Lastly, photographers can quickly transfer gigabytes of images from the card to the computer for greatly increased workflow efficiency, an important consideration when working under deadline pressures.”
Fast Cards Ideal For High-Resolution Digital Cameras
SanDisk Extreme IV cards use SanDisk-developed ESP (Enhanced Super-Parallel Processing) technology that combine fast NAND flash memory chips and controller designs, 32-bit RISC processing and advanced algorithms in an architecture that streamlines every aspect of read and write data transfer operations. In addition, SanDisk works closely with major camera manufacturers to ensure the speed and compatibility of its cards.
Wes Brewer, vice president of consumer product marketing, said, “SanDisk has led the market for high performance/high reliability cards for imaging professionals since the introduction of our original SanDisk Extreme I card in 2003. Our SanDisk Extreme III cards have provided the highest performance in the industry at 20MB/sec., minimum read and write performance for CompactFlash and SD formats, since their introduction in 2004. It’s taken nearly a year and a half for our competition to match that performance level. Now, with the introduction of the SanDisk Extreme IV line at 40MB/sec., we believe that SanDisk will continue to be the preferred choice of professional photographers based on our performance advantage as well as our commitment to the photographic market as a whole.”
Chuang added, “The SanDisk Extreme IV line is the direct result of SanDisk’s passion and continued drive to provide the highest possible performance for professional photographers. On behalf of SanDisk, I would like to personally thank our major partners and leading manufacturers of professional digital cameras such as Canon, Hasselblad, Leaf, Nikon and Phase One. Without their strong support and inputs, development of the SanDisk Extreme IV line would not have been possible.”
Medium format cameras such as the Hasselblad H2D-39 and digital backs, such as the Leaf Aptus family, produce enormous files that must be quickly processed and then saved to the card. Their advanced firmware lets photographers save RAW and high-end JPEG images faster so they can continue to shoot without losing their rhythm.
High-end digital SLRs may also show increased performance with the SanDisk Extreme IV cards.
Christian Poulsen, CEO of Hasselblad, said, “The speed and capacities of the removable storage cards can have a serious impact on the overall performance of Hasselblad cameras. Our most advanced digital camera is the Hasselblad H2D-39, the world’s first 39-megapixel (MP) digital auto-focus camera that can capture one image every two seconds. Using a SanDisk Extreme IV card, the initial burst rate is dramatically improved from 6 frames to 10 frames versus a SanDisk Extreme III card. This is a huge gain that can mean the difference between capturing the shot or not.”
Rob Galbraith, editorial, freelance photographer and publisher of the Rob Galbraith Digital Photography Insights website, said, “The best CompactFlash cards on the market until now are capable of real-world throughput of between 15MB-17MB/second in the best shipping readers we’ve tested. By comparison, the 2GB SanDisk Extreme IV card, when inserted into an Extreme FireWire Reader, tops out at a whopping 38.6MB/second. Given the blazing card-to-computer speed of the Extreme IV CompactFlash cards, the time it takes to transfer a big assignment’s worth of photos is about to be cut significantly.”
Dov Kalinski, general manager of Leaf, part of Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group, said, “Leaf, as a leading supplier of digital camera backs for professional photographers since 1992, has consistently led the market with innovative solutions, quality and ground-breaking speed. Integrating the new SanDisk Extreme IV CompactFlash cards allow us to take a leap forward in terms of mobile storage performance. Our customers will now enjoy increased portability, which is of utmost importance to a significant portion of the market.”
Robert Cristina, manager of professional products at Nikon Europe BV, said, “Nikon has long recognized the importance for photographers to be able to capture high resolution files without compromising speed, and this SanDisk Extreme IV initiative will be wholeheartedly welcomed by customers using our high performance cameras.”
Large Capacities Let You Focus On Taking Pictures
Available in 2-, 4- and 8GB capacities, the SanDisk Extreme IV cards are ideal for photographers who shoot RAW and JPEG images that are typically very large and can quickly fill up a card.
Jonathan Torgovnik, contract photographer for Newsweek magazine, war correspondent and freelance photographer, said, “Many photographers were wary of using cards larger than 1GB because they didn’t want to ‘put all their eggs in one basket.’ While that may have been an issue for some in the past, that attitude is changing very quickly. I always shoot RAW images, so using 4- or 8GB cards is a must. It also lets me concentrate on taking pictures and keeping the momentum going rather than worrying about filling the card after only a few shots.”
Faster Cards And Readers Improve Workflow—The “SanDisk Extreme IV System”
While the speed of the card is important for in-camera performance, card-to-computer transfer rates are becoming an increasingly important workflow consideration. The time it takes to transfer images to a computer can be a bigger bottleneck now that card capacities have expanded into the multi-gigabyte range.
The SanDisk Extreme IV cards and SanDisk Extreme FireWire 800/400reader combine to form a high-speed “system” that dramatically decreases card-to-computer transfer time. Images are transferred at up to the 40MB/sec. speed of the SanDisk Extreme IV cards. For a limited time, the company will offer an introductory bundle pack that includes a 4GB SanDisk Extreme IV CompactFlash card and a SanDisk Extreme FireWire reader.
In the U.S. and Europe, a free 30-day trial version of Adobe® Photoshop® CS2 software is bundled with each SanDisk Extreme FireWire Reader. Photoshop is the professional image-editing standard and leader of the Photoshop digital imaging line, and the software supports both Macintosh and PCs.
Extended Operating Temperature Range For Reliable Use Under Extreme Environmental Conditions
SanDisk Extreme IV cards are designed to withstand the industry’s widest guaranteed operating temperature range from a freezing minus 13◦ F (minus 25◦ C) to a scorching 185◦ F (plus 85◦ C). The cards also include RescuePRO® software that allows photographers to easily recover accidentally deleted images, lost digital images or data. The included software is compatible with both Windows and Mac platforms.

Six Open-Source Recommendations Every Enterprise Should Know in 2012
From feeds.ziffdavisenterprise Enterprises continue to adopt open source at an accelerating pace in order to take advantage of the significant benefits it can deliver. How enterprises adopt, use and support open-source software in their organizations can impact budgets, as well as mission-critical goals and initiatives. eWEEK, with help from OpenLogic, distills an immense data set compiled over the past year into six key recommendations about open-source technology that every enterprise needs to know about this year. From trends on open-source adoption and use, to popular open-source software and licenses, to open source in the cloud, this presentation is designed to help enterprises understand how best-in-class companies are using open-source software today. Most enterprises today use open-source software for everything from desktop applications to mission-critical infrastructure, but many organizations have inconsistent support coverage for the open source they use, or IT departments lack technical support coverage altogether. Just as companies want technical support for commercial software, they need to evaluate their needs and options for technical support on open-source packages. For some enterprises, it makes sense to rely on internal expertise for support, while others require commercial support coverage for some or all of the open-source software they use. – …
