We’ve been eagerly awaiting some of that next-gen XQD memory since it was announced right around a month ago, and now that we have something worthy to pop it in, we’re doubly buzzed. Sony’s the first to step forward, kicking off with QDH16 ($129) and QDH32 ($229) cards where the number represents the capacity. When the specs first came out of the darkroom there was talk of 5Gb/s write speeds; these might not be quite that rapid, but at 1Gb/s (125 MB/s), we’re still not complaining. Sony thinks the cards will be good for up 100 frames in RAW format in continuous shooting mode, based on its tests. There’ll also be a card reader and adapter for easy portability, both setting you back a further $45 when the whole lot hits the shelves in February.
