4K-ready memory cards

Ultra High Definition (HD) or 4K, may soon overtake HD as the preferred way for people to  watch TV and movies at home.  4K TV sets are expected to sell well this Diwali season and  4K TV services  will begin rolling out in India  in 3-4 months. It's time to start shooting your next shaadi-ka-video in 4K  and    there are at least 6 makes of mobile phones available in India, which allow you to  shoot in 4K.  Now comes the problem!  4K as the name suggests   is four times sharper, denser than a HD image and  gobbles up those gigabytes on your phone memory card, for every minute you shoot.

Which is why SanDisk  last week launched a 4K-friendly phone card, the Extreme Pro microSDXC  UHS-1-- the  world's fastest microSD memory card which  transfers data at 95 MB per second. You need this speed to record 4K video without jitter. It costs Rs 9700 ( 64 GB size) and  Rs 4900 ( 32 GB) and comes with a lifetime warranty.

For professional photographers who  shoot  4K video  or  burst mode still pictures  in uncompressed RAW format  with their digital SLR cameras,  SanDisk has also launched the highest capacity  ever offered on a   phone memory card -- the Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-1 with 512 GB  of on board space. It costs Rs 51,990.
