FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexar, a leading global brand
of flash memory products, today introduced the Lexar(r) Professional 1100x XQD(tm)
card and XQD USB 3.0 Reader for professional photographers and videographers
and advanced photo and video enthusiasts. Available in capacities of 32GB and

for next-generation DSLR camera models backed by Nikon and Sony. The Lexar

'The XQD standard is an evolution in the technology of high-performance memory
cards and Lexar is dedicated to providing its users with industry-leading
solutions that improve the way they capture images and video,' said Adam
