Massive Memory? Yeah, We Got That

The recently announced Canon Rebel T2i 550D has a special feature: it is compatible with a new type of SD memory card called SDXC.
The "XC" stands for "Extended Capacity" and the idea behind the new format is that you can now have a memory card that lets you record hours of Full HD video without worry (whether or not anyone will watch said video is another matter).
At the PMA 2010 conference, SanDisk announced the release of a 64GB Ultra SDXC card...available to the public now for a mere $350 USD.
While most people probably don't need QUITE so much memory, expect to see many more SDXC cards as 2010 rolls along.

Hell Chris. Looks like the link you're providing has a slight typo. The link text says the T1i 550, but the T2i is the 550 and that's the story you have it linked to.

Thanks!

Yes it was a typo for sure - it's been fixed.
