In addition to outstanding high-speed data transfer capability, the cards are highly reliable to protect users’ data and images.
“Advanced
photographers want to capture the moment in the highest quality
possible, and that often means dealing with massive files like RAW
images,” says Benoit Delfau, European Marketing Manager, Sony Media
& Peripherals Europe (MPE). “These XQD cards give a whole new
meaning to speed and performance for digital imaging enthusiasts.”
With
its ultra-high write speed performance, and when using with Nikon’s new
DSLR “D4”, XQD memory cards can record approximately up to 100 frames
in RAW format*3 in continuous shooting mode.
XQD
memory cards achieves stable continuous shooting of RAW images and
blazing fast data transfer rates (up to 1Gbps; 125MB/s, write and read)
through the PCIe*4 interface. A unique controller and
optimised flash memory enables high-speed data processing, resulting in
faster write speed and performance that can’t be achieved by
conventional compact flash cards.
Sony
is also introducing a USB 2.0/3.0 compatible XQD card reader (model
MRW-E80) so users can quickly and easily transfer large quantities of
very high capacity data to their PC. Also, an XQD ExpressCard Adapter
(QDA-EX1) will be available for use with computers with an ExpressCard™
34 card slot.
“As
users’ needs continue to evolve, Sony will also continue to enhance the
XQD memory card line-up to meet the future requirements of the high-end
digital imaging market”, adds Benoit Delfau.
The new family of XQD™ Memory Cards by Sony is available from end of January.
