The day is finally here when you can spend more on media than on the device using the media. Panasonic Japan announced two new SDXC cards: a 48GB and a 64GB. The cards will be available February 19, presumably in Japan for $550 for the 48GB and $700 for the 64GB.
Toshiba announced the world’s first 64GB back in August but has only shipped samples so far. Production is expected in mass scale this spring. It appears Panasonic will get here first and claim the crown. The Panasonic cards write at 22MB/sec while the Toshiba’s were listed at 35MB/sec.
At CES this year, most manufacturers offered high-end cameras that could support these massive SD cards. According to Panasonic, the 48GB can store 6 hours and 20 minutes of full HD video, on the 64GB that number jumps to 8 hours and 30 minutes. For images at 4,000×3,000 resolution, the 48GB can hold 6,890 images while the 64GB can hold 9330 images. Crazy.
