holy cow -

"A 2TB SDXC memory card can store 100 HD movies, 60 hours of HD recording or 17,000 fine-grade photos."

Wonder how much those suckers are...

When it goes Tango Uniform on you and you lose every single image from a week-long trip...

Now how much would you pay?

Anke · 7th of January 2009 (Wed)

That is insane! Why would you need the capacity in the field for 17,000 shots too?

ben_r_ · 7th of January 2009 (Wed)

Ha ha! i saw that on engadget! Pretty cool stuff!

Mystwalker · 7th of January 2009 (Wed)

"2TB"? UH! WHAT?!

That is sick for a SD card.

I do not even have that much storage on my computer.

Precisely the reason why I took a bunch of 4Gb cards with me to Africa instead of fewer 8Gb or 16Gb cards!

Some of you might be missing the point. That article is *not* about a 2TB SD card. it's about a new SDXC *specification*, which *allows* for up to a 2TB filesystem.

A 2TB SD card at this point is not practical, and certainly not affordable. However, the new spec allows for it, to give room for future expansion.

Who knows - we are routinely using 4-16gig cards now. In a few years time, we could be recording 24-bit, 50mp images as standard, and typically using 64-256gig cards.

Add to automatic HDR functions (every shot you take, the camera automatically records the -2,0,+2 exposures), and especially HD video, and you can see where the space requirements would go.

Heck, in just fifteen years I've gone from a computer with 2 megs of ram and a 20meg harddrive, to a computer with 4gigs of ram and hard drive space of 1.5 terabytes. it adds up pretty quick!

My smallest cf card is 2 gig, and my first computer harddrive had 580mb. What a speedy computer if it had a 2tb solid state harddrive. What advances in technology huh. oh yea, my first digital camera was a Sony Mavica which stored pictures on floppy discs, then transferred to the computer.

Jon · 7th of January 2009 (Wed)

580 MB? Mine was 5 MB . . . That was after I moved from dual 90 KB FDDs, later upgraded to 180 KB DSDD FDDs.

Sean · 7th of January 2009 (Wed)

Interesting. I think this is the standard that kills CF. That's my prediction, and I am sticking with it.
