"Panasonic has announced the launch of a new SD Memory Card lineup compliant with the Class 2 SD Speed Class specification designated by the SD Card Association. Sales of the new lineup are scheduled to begin in August 2006.PP0606_Panasonic.jpgThe SD Speed Class specifications were established to standardize data transfer speeds (Class 2, Class 4, and Class 6, with guaranteed increases in speed from one class to the next), instead of relying on the different standards of individual manufacturers.
Today’s digital devices increasingly demand stable recording of streaming data such as MPEG2 video, which is why the SD Memory Card has already been adopted for use in a wide range of such devices. Panasonic introduced the SD Video Camera (SDR-S100) in 2005, offering a solution in which consumers record motion picture data onto an SD Memory Card.
Panasonic says the anticipated continued growth of such applications has prompted them to stay ahead of the curve by launching a new SD Memory Card lineup that is compliant with the Class 2 Speed Class specification. The new lineup includes 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB SD Memory Cards, as well as a 4GB SDHC Memory Card, and is said to assure stable recording of MPEG2 video at standard definition quality. The Class 2 logo is evident on both card labels and packaging, allowing consumers to more easily select an appropriate memory card for their needs.
With the release of the Class 2 SD Memory Card lineup, along with the Panasonic SDR-S150 SD Video Camera due to be launched in August 2006, Panasonic is providing a stable solution for MPEG2 video recording." via popphoto.com
