Man, it feels like yesterday that we first heard of SDXC and its
mythical promise of providing 2TB of storage along with 300MBps
transfers. Truth be told, that was at CES two years ago, and here we
are 24 months later oohing and ahhing over 128GB. Ah, the pains of
(sluggish) progress. Griping aside, we're fairly sure that
professional video junkies will be more than elated to hear of Lexar
Media's two newest cards. The 64GB and 128GB Class 10 SDXC cards
"offer minimum guaranteed speeds of 133x (20MB per second)," and ship
with a limited lifetime warranty. If all goes well, they'll be
splashing down into retailers later this quarter, with price tags set
for $399.99 (64GB) and $699.99 (128GB). Just to put that into
perspective, SanDisk shipped a Class 4 (15MB/sec) 64GB SDXC card right
around this time last year for $350, and it's now going for half of
that on the street. Yeah, ouch.
