\u201cWith enhanced quality available now in the HD video format, I know just how quickly memory\u00a0space can disappear! My work style is fast and spontaneous and storage capacity is a big issue
\nfor me. Having the freedom to keep shooting without having to stop to change cards helps my\u00a0creative flow tremendously,\u201d said Scott Duncan, Lexar Elite Photographer. \u201cLexar Professional\u00a0cards have always given me the large capacities I need to focus on my shooting, and the\u00a0performance I require to get my footage onto my computer for editing.\u201d<\/p>\n

All Lexar product designs undergo extensive testing in the Lexar Quality Labs to ensure\u00a0performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability with more than 800 intended digital devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore professional photographers and enthusiasts are embracing the fact that they can capture\u00a0high-quality images and HD video with their digital SLR. As a result, they\u2019re shooting longer\u00a0and longer, and need a storage solution that won\u2019t interrupt the creative process,\u201d said Manisha\u00a0Sharma, director of product marketing for cards, Lexar. \u201cThe new capacities of the Lexar\u00a0Professional 400x CF card empower photographers to just keep shooting, without the need to\u00a0change cards or risk missing once-in-a-lifetime shots or footage.\u201d<\/p>\n
