 Lexar 133x memory card - Speed
"Our new 133X cards allow digital SLR cameras to optimally perform as they were designed, to transfer images and information almost instantaneously, beneficial in a number of ways to the photographer's digital imaging workflow," said John Omvik, director of professional product marketing, Lexar. "Lexar's new 133X cards are ideal for those photographers who require reliable, high-performance flash memory that makes the most of all the professional-level features available in their digital SLR camera."
Lexar Professional CF - Write Acceleration
Like all of Lexar's Professional series CompactFlash memory cards, the new 133X cards include Lexar's Write Acceleration Technology (WA). The WA technology allows digital cameras to exchange and store images faster, thus attaining near instantaneous image-write speeds in cameras supporting this feature. In addition, the new 133X CompactFlash cards include Image Rescue 2.0, Lexar's award-winning image recovery software, a trial version of Photo Mechanic 4.0, the popular image browsing software from Camera Bits, and Corel Paint Shop Pro 9, an image editing and enhancement software package. As with all of Lexar's professional products, each card includes a lifetime warranty and unlimited access to Lexar's dedicated technical support team for professional photographers.

"Second to reliability, speed is the name of the game in digital photography, and Lexar has a lengthy history providing cards and accessories that are not only fast but also substantially improve workflow," said professional photographer Vincent Laforet. "Having 133X cards in both card formats allows me to leverage both slots in my Canon EOS 1D Mark II. By storing RAW files on my CF cards and JPEGs on my SD card, I maximize my camera's technology and reduce administrative time when I'm back in my studio," he added.

"I am constantly working from remote locations like the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge and the Australian rainforests, so I need fast cards with the maximum capacity, said professional wildlife photographer Moose Peterson. "I am very impressed with Lexar's new 133X CompactFlash card because I know that they are capable of rapidly storing and uploading large images, especially those taken during burst mode shooting with the Nikon D2Hs. I love taking as many pictures as I can without changing cards and I shoot confidently knowing that in addition to an immediate write speed, the 4GB 133X has plenty of room for my largest files. Lexar's new 133X speed-rated Professional Series CompactFlash flash memory cards are currently available in photo specialty stores and through online resellers.
