Well if you’re the proud owner of a Nikon D4 or D4S DSLR camera, you might be interested to learn that Sony has quietly announced a new G Series XQD range of memory cards that can be used for your cameras. According to Sony, these new cards will be able to offer up 400MB/s read speeds and 350MB/s write speeds.
They will also come in storage sizes ranging 32GB up to 128GB, although the latter will cost you a fair amount of money at around $800. Sony’s G Series of XQD cards also offer a huge boost in performance compared to their S Series and N series, and will also outperform Lexar’s XQD memory cards which at the moment are only available in sizes up to 64GB with around 168MB/s read speeds.
The new G Series XQD memory cards from Sony are expected to begin shipping on the 3rd of November, so for photographers who don’t mind splashing a bit of money on the new cards, you can head on over to B&H or Adorama to place your pre-orders.
