Sony debuts new high-end camera storage card
Sony has introduced its latest high-end camera storage card, the XQD card to the world, which comes in 16- and 32Gb storage capacities. The format is aimed at high-end DSLRs, which will have to build the tech in if their manufacturers want to support it. The Nikon D4 already does. Sony claims the XQD format can deliver data transfer rates of up to “1Gbps (125MB/s) write and read” through the PCIe interface. That enables “stable continuous shooting of RAW images”, Sony said, with an XQD memory card writing “approximately 100 frames in RAW format in continuous shooting mode”. SOURCE: Casino Mate
