A stylish digital camera with a chunk of cool features may not always generate a phenomenal shooting experience. Photographers may be of the same mind that the functions of the memory cards also play an important role. Speeding up the storage media, Sony has just enhanced its lineup of Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo HX memory cards to increase transfer speeds.
The newly rolled out memory stick cards have a 30-megabytes-per-second transfer rate, making them Sony’s fastest memory cards on the market. The new offering is sketched out to support and enhance features of Sony hardware devices.
“Consumers quickly will see the benefit of the high-speed HX series when using features like burst shooting for DSLR or shooting HD video,†stated Shane Higby, director of the consumer media business at Sony Electronics.
Designed for both professionals and enthusiasts, the new HX series ensures to deliver high performance and a range of unique benefits. Utilizing a 32GB capacity HX series memory stick, an Alpha DSLR camera can easily capture around 260 images in one minute, which is approximately 160 percent more images than PRO Duo memory stick.
Pretty similarly, a camcorder can transfer approximately 175 minutes of HD video or a 30GB file in 17 minutes, via the compatible high-speed adaptor. Just to notify, as a value-added benefit, all memory stick models feature x-Pict Story software for easy on-line photo sharing, as well as data recovery software to enable file rescue.
Available in capacities ranging from 8GB to 32GB, the Sony HX series starts at $59.99 (approx Rs. 2,714).
