Giving photo enthusiasts and professional photographers a new level of speed and performance, the new Sony XQD™ memory cards support the recently adopted XQD specification for high-speed, high-performance digital image capture.
Using the XQD memory cards, XQD compatible high-end DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras capture up to approximately 100 frames in RAW format in continuous shooting mode. The Sony cards are based on the XQD memory card specification, which the CompactFlash Association recently approved and licensed as an open format.
The Sony XQD memory card achieves stable continuous shooting of RAW images and data transfer rates of up to 1Gbps/125MB/s write and read (based on Sony tests and dependent on host hardware) through the PCIe interface.
Sony is also introducing a USB 2.0/3.0 compatible XQD card reader (model MRW-E80) so users can 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.
The new Sony products are planned to be available in February and are estimated to sell at the following retail prices:
