Kingston Technology Launches New 'Ultimate' Line of CompactFlash Cards
100x Write Speed Helps Maximise Camera Functions and Gives Photographers Competitive Edge in High-Speed Shooting Conditions
[07 December 2005] Kingston Technology, the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the
release of its new “Ultimate” line of CompactFlash cards.
With a sustained write speed rating of 100x, Kingston Technology’s CompactFlash Ultimate cards offer the performance that high-end
digital cameras and other fast capture and storage function devices need to perform at peak levels. The two and four-GB storage
capacities of Kingston Technology’s CompactFlash Ultimate cards meet the increased demands of today’s professional photographers by
delivering performance and reliability.
“Kingston Technology’s CompactFlash Ultimate cards are designed for professional photographers and serious enthusiasts who depend on
reliable digital media that can deliver the speed and capacity to complete their most challenging assignments,” said Jim Selby, Product
Marketing Manager EMEA, Kingston Technology.
“Photographers and digital enthusiasts can maximise the performance of their high-end digital equipment. Kingston Technology’s Ultimate
series CompactFlash cards will have the fastest write time in the industry and give photographers the freedom and flexibility to capture
life around them when it happens, as it happens,” Selby added.
“X” Speed Ratings
Similar to CD-ROM drives, many devices are currently sold with an ‘X’ speed rating to give users a performance indicator of how fast a card
can transfer (read and/or write) images. The write speed of a media card determines how quickly images captured with a digital camera are
actually written to the memory card. Delays in writing images to the card can slow down the overall performance of the camera and cause
photographers to miss the perfect shot.
Faster memory cards, such as Kingston Technology’s CompactFlash Ultimate cards, can write images to the card as they are captured by the
camera, allowing a seamless flow of imaging information from camera to memory card and maximising the overall speed and functionality of
the camera system. This means that photographers will always be at-the-ready to capture that perfect series of images.
Kingston Technology’s CompactFlash Ultimate cards are 100-percent tested and backed by a lifetime warranty and 24/7 live technical support.
