CES 2008: Egg consolidation* fans will delight at the launch of the World's first 'class 6' 32GB SDHC memory card. Panasonic unveiled a prototype of the capacious card, capable of sustained write speeds of at least 6MB/sec and maximum data speeds of up to 20MB/sec.
The card, launched alongside two SD card-carrying camcorders is described as "ideal for AVCHD High Definition video," and can hold over five hours of full resolution 1080i video. In digital camera terms, the card should be able to store around 6800 images from the latest 12MP compacts (assuming an average file size of around 4.5MB per image). Or more than 190 rolls worth of 36 exposure film, for those who still think in such terms. Certainly enough to last for even the most shutter-happy holidays.
The 20MB/sec maximum data transfer speed would see this card considered as 133X in conventional SD terms. The 6MB/sec minimum sustained write speed implied by its 'class 6' designation is probably more significant.
