Last year, the specifications for a new generation of Flash Secure Digital (SD) memory cards have been made public. And they are, to put it lightly, impressive. As a basis with SD and SDHC (SD High Capacity) storage capacities higher up to 32GB, a requirement specification was heavy set for a new type of card that could take over after SDHC.

However, anyone taking a look at the SDXH (eXtended Secure Digital Capacity) roadmap, and sees a storage capacity of 2TB and interface speeds of 104MB/sec bus to 300 MB / s a later stage, will soon be convinced. Panasonic begins this year with the introduction of the first 48GB and 64GB memory cards SDXC. During our visit to CES 2010 in Las Vegas, we talked to an employee of the SD Association, during which it became clear that one can expect an increase in storage capacity of each year for years to come, with a maximum of 2TB In practice this means that SDXC 2TB memory card will be introduced around 2015, so we have a little go.

To get an idea, about 100 high-definition movies or 480 hours of HD video, 136,000 photos or high resolution placed on a map SDXC 2TB. Memory cards first SDXC are a fact, we just need to wait a broad range of devices. Canon and Panasonic has introduced several new compact cameras with support SDXC during CES, but we still have to wait for manufacturers of digital SLRs such as Canon and Nikon. In particular, the professional digital SLR cameras are particularly suited to work with maps SDXC. Speed, high resolution and storage capacity are features that the professional photographer is going for. And so, in terms of price, it all fits better in this sector, like the Panasonic 64GB SDXC a price of $ 599.95 / Euro 499. [via letsgomobile]
