Kingston has started rolling out the next generation of SD cards with a 64GB SDXC card. This new class of memory is compatible with most recent compacts and DSLRs, offering a ceiling capacity of 2TB and some impressively rapid transfer rates.

The only real downside is the price, which sits at £342.16 at the moment, the same as around 5 32GB SDHC cards. The faster rate and single unit of the SDXC does make it more convinient though, and prices are bound to drop once the card becomes more popular.
