Lexar Professional SDHC 4GB 133x Memory Card

The new Lexar 4GB SDHC memory cards become available today. With affordable10-megapixel compact digital cameras becoming common and digital SLRs that have Secure Digital memory card slots, higher capacity cards are becoming a necessity. I received a pre-release Lexar Professional SDHC 4GB 133x memory card last week. I've been using it with a Canon PowerShot A640 digital camera that I'm testing. The A640 is an appropriate camera to use with the SDHC card. It represents the need for higher capacity memory cards with a 10-megapixel sensor, Canon's new DIGIC III processor, and JPEG files as large as 5-megabytes. With 3-5 MB JPEGs, a 1 GB SD card will store a maximum of 300 high-quality images (depending on image content, compression, etc.). And digital SLR users shooting in RAW mode are dealing with file sizes of 10 MB and larger. Both the high-resolution compact digital camera owner and the digital SLR photographer will benefit from the higher capacity of the 4 GB SDHC card.
