FREMONT, Calif., 2012-01-06 3:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading
global brand of flash memory products, today announced new Lexar(r) Professional
400x CompactFlash(r) (CF) card capacities, including the industry's first 256GB
memory card. Also available in 64GB and 128GB capacities, the increased
capacity options provide enormous storage capabilities and impressive
performance for photographers and videographers to capture large volumes of
high-resolution images and high-definition video. These increased capacities
also open the door for new uses in the industrial and commercial markets where
higher capacity hard disk drives have previously been used. For additional
information about the Lexar Professional 400x CF card, visit www.lexar.com.
The new Lexar Professional CF card capacities are speed rated at 400x and
provide a minimum guaranteed transfer speed of 60MB per second, allowing
professionals and advanced photo and video enthusiasts to enjoy extended
capture of 1080p full-HD video and sustained, rapid-fire shooting.* When paired
with UDMA 7-compatible devices, like the Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot
Reader, the new Professional 400x CF card capacities provide rapid transfer of
content from card to computer, significantly accelerating the digital workflow
and enabling photographers to spend more time creating and less time waiting.
'With enhanced quality available now in the HD video format, I know just how
quickly memory space can disappear! My work style is fast and spontaneous and
storage capacity is a big issue for me. Having the freedom to keep shooting
without having to stop to change cards helps my creative flow tremendously,'
said Scott Duncan, Lexar Elite Photographer. 'Lexar Professional cards have
always given me the large capacities I need to focus on my shooting, and the
performance I require to get my footage onto my computer for editing.'
All Lexar product designs undergo extensive testing in the Lexar Quality Labs
to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability with more than
800 intended digital devices.
'More professional photographers and enthusiasts are embracing the fact that
they can capture high-quality images and HD video with their digital SLR. As a
result, they're shooting longer and longer, and need a storage solution that
won't interrupt the creative process,' said Manisha Sharma, director of product
marketing for cards, Lexar. 'The new capacities of the Lexar Professional 400x
CF card empower photographers to just keep shooting, without the need to change
cards or risk missing once-in-a-lifetime shots or footage.'
The Lexar Professional 400x CF card includes a free copy of the latest version
of award-winning Image Rescue(r) software to help recover lost or deleted photos
and videos, even if they have been erased or the card has been corrupted.**
Additionally, the Lexar Professional 400x CF card comes with a limited lifetime
warranty and free, dedicated professional technical support. The new 64GB and
128GB capacities of the Lexar Professional 400x CF memory card will be
available in January, with MSRPs of [Pounds]269.99, and [Pounds]479.99 respectively. Lexar is
currently sampling the 256GB capacity of the Professional 400x CF memory card
to commercial and industrial customers, as well as strategic imaging industry
partners, to assure compatibility and reliability with current and future
applications. The 256GB Lexar Professional 400x CF card is expected to be
released for consumer purchase in the first half of 2012.
