February 24, 2008: Panasonic will release its first 32GB SDHC memory card in Australia in May.
The new SDHC Memory Card, RP-SDV32GG1K, is ideal for AVCHD High Definition video recording, a growing demand thanks to the recent expansion of High Definition SD Card Camcorders. When used with Panasonic’s HDC-SD9 camcorder, the 32GB card can record approximately 12 hours of 1440 x 1080i High Definition video in HE mode, and approximately four hours of 1920 x 1080p Full High Definition video in HA mode. With the Class 6 speed specification and maximum data transfer speeds up to 20MB/s, the 32GB card allows users to enjoy superb performance and high-quality recording.

 

The card is also equipped with a new user-friendly labeling feature, which allows users to write titles or comments directly onto labels on the front and back of the card. Panasonic will introduce the new labeling feature in its other SD Memory Card models, with a running changeover from the current card designs. Since the cards incorporate an industrial-grade flash memory, they work in temperatures ranging from -25ø‚ °C to +85ø‚ °C, while consumer-grade flash memory only guarantees 0ø‚ °C to +70ø‚ °C. Pricing will be announced closer to the release date.
