FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading
global brand of flash memory products, today announced new Lexar(R)
Professional 400x CompactFlash(R) (CF) card capacities, including the
industry's first 256GB memory card. Also available in 64GB and 128GB
capacities, the increased capacity options provide enormous storage
capabilities and impressive performance for photographers and
videographers to capture large volumes of high-resolution images and
high-definition video. These increased capacities also open the door
for new uses in the industrial and commercial markets where higher
capacity hard disk drives have previously been used. For additional
information about the Lexar Professional 400x CF card, visit
www.lexar.com.

The new Lexar Professional CF card capacities are speed rated at 400x
and provide a minimum guaranteed transfer speed of 60MB per second,
allowing professionals and advanced photo and video enthusiasts to
enjoy extended capture of 1080p full-HD video and sustained, rapid-fire
shooting.* When paired with UDMA 7-compatible devices, like the Lexar
Professional USB 3.0 Dual-Slot Reader, the new Professional 400x CF
card capacities provide rapid transfer of content from card to
computer, significantly accelerating the digital workflow and enabling
photographers to spend more time creating and less time waiting.

"With enhanced quality available now in the HD video format, I know
just how quickly memory space can disappear! My work style is fast and
spontaneous and storage capacity is a big issue for me. Having the
freedom to keep shooting without having to stop to change cards helps
my creative flow tremendously," said Scott Duncan, Lexar Elite
Photographer. "Lexar Professional cards have always given me the large
capacities I need to focus on my shooting, and the performance I
require to get my footage onto my computer for editing."

All Lexar product designs undergo extensive testing in the Lexar
Quality Labs to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and
reliability with more than 800 intended digital devices.

"More professional photographers and enthusiasts are embracing the fact
that they can capture high-quality images and HD video with their
digital SLR. As a result, they're shooting longer and longer, and need
a storage solution that won't interrupt the creative process," said
Manisha Sharma, director of product marketing for cards, Lexar. "The
new capacities of the Lexar Professional 400x CF card empower
photographers to just keep shooting, without the need to change cards
or risk missing once-in-a-lifetime shots or footage."

The Lexar Professional 400x CF card includes a free copy of the latest
version of award-winning Image Rescue(R) software, worth $33.99, to
help recover lost or deleted photos and videos, even if they have been
erased or the card has been corrupted.** Additionally, the Lexar
Professional 400x CF card comes with a limited lifetime warranty and
free, dedicated professional technical support. The new 64GB and 128GB
capacities of the Lexar Professional 400x CF memory card will be
available in January, with MSRPs of $299.99, and $469.99 respectively.
Lexar is currently sampling the 256GB capacity of the Professional 400x
CF memory card to commercial and industrial customers, as well as
strategic imaging industry partners, to assure compatibility and
reliability with current and future applications. The 256GB Lexar
Professional 400x CF card is expected to be released for consumer
purchase in the first half of 2012.
