Sony said Friday it will begin selling memory cards with write speeds of 125 Mbps, the fastest in the industry, from February.
The new cards are the first to be announced under a new standard called XQD, a specification from the CompactFlash Assocation announced in December.
The cards are meant for working with data-heavy formats such as raw image and video data in high-end cameras, where write speed to memory is becoming a bottleneck as image sensors and processors become more advanced. Faster write times will mean less pause between pictures snapped in data-heavy formats such as RAW, and snappier editing for previously saved data. (Computerworld)
