Most digital slr cameras on the market today use SD, SDHC or compactflash cards. Sony has recently begun using SD & SDHC cards on their digital SLRs in addition to their own Memory Stick Pro Duo & Pro-HG Duo cards.
With the increase in sensor resolutions and the increasing availability of video on digital SLR cameras, memory cards have kept pace by increasing read / write speeds together with higher capacities.
SDXC memory cards have recently entered the market as a replacement for SDHC cards. SDXC cards will provide better performance and higher capacities than SDHC cards and over time, SDXC cards have the capability to reach 2 terabytes in a form factor similar in size to current SDHC cards. Currently only a few digital SLR cameras accept SDXC cards but this will change over the coming year. |
