This is a brief excerpt from F-Stoppers
Until now, Sony has been the only XQD card manufacturer (you know, for those crazy fast, kind of small, and weird format cards that go into your Nikon D4). Finally, Lexar has announced their own 32GB ($299.99) and 64GB ($579.99) versions along with a USB 3.0 XQD card reader. The cards feature read speeds of up to 168MB/s (1100x) and slower write speeds that aren’t yet stated. A 256GB SDXC 600x card was also announced, holding the high-end for both capacity and speed of Lexar’s SD card lineup. The 256GB SDXC card comes in at a whopping $999.99.
Below are full press releases, but I wonder about a company — a well known memory company — that doesn’t post write speeds for a new card that you only buy because of its speed… Either way, it’s nice to see other company’s adopting this format that Nikon has decided is indeed the future. Any thoughts?
This post will be updated when pre-orders, expected this month, are available.
