Additionally, the Lexar Professional 133x SDHC card significantly improves camera performance and image transfer speeds from card to computer, reducing post-production time and enabling shooters to focus on the business of photography.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor professional photographers, running out of space on a memory card just isn\u2019t an option,\u201d said Richard Clarke, National Sales Manager ANZ, Lexar Media. \u201cLexar\u2019s high-performance and high-capacity memory cards allow photographers to shoot more images than ever before without the added burden of worrying about when their memory card may fill up.\u00a0 The capacity increases and functionality improvements we\u2019ve made to the Lexar Professional product line further signify Lexar Media\u2019s commitment to fulfilling the demands of the industry and providing photographers with the equipment they need to maximise their digital imaging experience \u2013 both professionally and personally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lexar Professional CF memory cards in all capacities offer impressive speed and performance, with a guaranteed minimum sustained write speed capability of 300x (45MB per second) for enhanced capture capabilities. When paired with a UDMA-enabled device, such as the Lexar Professional UDMA FireWire\u00ae 800 Reader or the Lexar Professional UDMA Dual-Slot USB Reader, Lexar Professional CF and SDHC cards significantly improve the digital imaging workflow by accelerating the download of captured images to a destination computer.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the high speeds and capacities of the Lexar Professional CF and SDHC cards, users also receive the reliability they have come to expect from Lexar. All Lexar memory cards are tested in the Lexar Reliability Lab, a facility with more than 800 digital cameras and memory card devices, to ensure quality, performance, and compatibility. Lexar performs this extensive testing in an effort to provide customers with a higher level of confidence, whether they are capturing once-in-a-lifetime memories, important events, or everyday occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Customers can also access the Lexar Digital Photography website, a dedicated, online resource and tips destination (<a href=\"wlmailhtml:{912E957C-4F18-4B24-83B9-FA97839F0302}mid:\/\/00000185\/!x-usc:http:\/\/www.lexar.com\/dp\/\">http:\/\/www.lexar.com\/dp\/<\/a>), and can also leverage phone and live-chat tech support.
