Sony’s new SF-G Series of SD cards will have write speeds of up to 299MB/s. The quick write speed supports maximum performance of digital imaging devices, contributing to longer continuous shooting of high-resolution images with UHS-II supporting cameras.  It also contributes to a shorter buffer clearing time so users never miss a critical moment. Using Sony’s algorithm, … Continue reading Sony SD cards with huge write speeds →

Canon prioritising its own growth could be a stumbling block for the tech giant investing in up to 20 percent of the Toshiba’s memory chip business, according to Reuters. Toshiba needs the funds to cover a multi-billion write down, which has been peripherally affected by the accounting scandal of 2015. If the company fails to … Continue reading Toshiba still looking for investment in its memory chip business →
