Got this news from Geeky Gadgets and my initial reaction was like “Do I really need that much space for my dSLR?”. I mean I hardly utilize my 4GB SDHC during photoshoots. I usually average 400-500 fine jpeg shots during major events such as Weddings and Parties. Maybe this is the solution to those who prefer to shoot RAW and those who utilize HD Movies on bodies like the Nikon D90 and D300s. This is really a big innovation but I am not sure if everyone will embrace this card (I’m talking of the present here). The fact that most cameras are not yet SDXC ready is another obstacle that this card will hurdle.
On a brighter side, It is great to see that memory cards are getting higher storage capacities each year without any compromise to size. This is a good sign since the lower capacity card’s price will surely decline. This will probably benefit those individuals who prefer memory cards over portable HDDs.
Guys if you have a Sandisk 64GB SDXC, please feel free to share your insights about it. Regarding actual performance and reliability.
