Teamgroup announced the world’s first UHS-II V90 2TB SD Card

A couple of months ago Sandisk launched the V30 2TB SD card you can buy at Amazon US and Amazon EU.  But this is a slow card, so not very usable for most of us. But this changed today:

Teamgroup has just announced the world’s first V90 2TB SD card! With 300MB/s you can do serious professional work.

Features:

  • Exceptional performance with trustworthiness
  • Supports 8K and 4K videography, ensuring the best image resolution
  • Durability design frees creators from environmental limits
  • Backward compatible with UHS-I and most videography devices used among creators
  • 5-year warranty and data recovery for dual-protection

The question of course is if you really need such a large card. Anyway, the card should soon be available on their Amazon page.

Sigma officially states that new products will be launched at CP+

Sigma officially invited the press to an event on March 1 where they will talk about “new products” with popular Youtube “Yu-tobi”

One of the products to be finally released is most likely the Cine version of the current 28-45mm lens:

But the Sigma CEO also announced a unique telephoto lens that ‘has never been made before’. I hope this lens will be shown for the first time at CP+!

HOT: Panasonic will launch TWO new cameras! And new special collaboration with Capture One!

Hi folks! I have very good news for you coming from THREE trusted sources:

1) Panasonic Lumix S1rII is coming in February
Same Leica SL3 specs but WITH decent quality video

2) Panasonic and Capture One will make a special joint press release at the S1rII launch
Probably this means that Capture One worked closely with Lumix to get you the best possible RAW editing quality.

3) One more Panasonic Lumix L-mount Full Frame camera will be announced in April
I have been told this is unlikely to be the S1HII…but still something very interesting! I don’t know if this will be the successor of this camera or a full frame version of this epic fixed lens camera or a Lumix S9 with integrated EVF.

I have not received any confirmation about the introduction of new lenses, but we know that Panasonic has a few on their roadmap. I’ll be working hard now to bring you details on the two new cameras. In the meantime, you can help me:

If you have any rumors about that camera feel free to share them anonymously using this contact box (try to use a nickname to be recognized in future) or via lrumorscameras@gmail.com.
