Available in SDHC and Memory Stick Pro formats, the new Lexar Full-HD Video memory cards provide a reliable alternative to traditional tape-based storage devices and offer high-speed video transfer from the card to a computer for backup and sharing on popular user-generated content websites. The Lexar SDHC Full-HD Video memory card is available in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB capacities, with the ability to record up to 90, 180, and 360 minutes of content, respectively. The Lexar Memory Stick PRO Duo Full-HD Video memory card comes in capacities of 4GB and 8GB, and can record up to 90 and 180 minutes of content, respectively.
Both video memory cards are expected to be available from early March. Local pricing has still to be determined. For more information, visit www.lexar.com/au.
