2008 Editors’ Choice Award
Each year, the PC Photo Editors’ Choice Awards recognize the best of digital photo gear and technologies. This year, the Lexar
Professional UDMA Dual-Slot Card Reader was selected for an award, due in part to its versatility in quickly transferring images
from a flash memory card to a computer, at home or on the road. The Lexar Professional UDMA Dual-Slot Card Reader features a unique
pop-up design to protect the card slots, and is compatible with CompactFlash, UDMA CompactFlash, Secure Digital, and Secure Digital
High Capacity memory cards.

For the second year in a row, Lexar received a Hot One Award in the In-Camera Memory Card category. This year, the Lexar
Professional UDMA 300x CompactFlash Card was honored with the award. The Hot One Awards are judged by professional photographers,
and are awarded to products that not only are the most technologically advanced in the industry, but also have a significantly
positive impact on professional photographers. The Lexar Professional UDMA CF card was chosen due to its fast transfer speed,
reliable data storage and its compatibility with the newest generation of UDMA-enabled digital SLRs.
The Outdoor Photographer Editors’ Picks honor the gear and equipment best for capturing images in all types of outdoor
environments, be it rain, snow, blistering heat, or frigid cold. The editors at Outdoor Photography chose the Lexar
Professional 133x 8GB CompactFlash as an Editors’ Pick, due to the card’s high capacity for continuous shooting, and
its high speed, which keeps pace with today’s professional-level digital SLRs.
The American PHOTO Editor’s Choice Awards honor everything from the top digital SLRs and accessories, to the latest cell
phones with picture-taking capabilities. An elite group of editors from American PHOTO and Popular Photography judged
more products than ever in 2007. The editors chose the Lexar Professional UDMA CompactFlash memory cards as the top
storage product of the year, and attributed the award to the market-leading transfer speed of the UDMA CF cards.
Speed-rated at 300x and capable of a minimum sustained write speed of 45MB/second, the cards also come bundled with
a comprehensive suite of software to enhance the photography experience.
Thirty-one publications from 12 European countries make up the Technical Image Press Association. The awards are
granted by Europe’s most influential imaging editors who judge each product on innovation, use of leading-edge
technology, design and ergonomics, ease of use, and price/performance ratio. TIPA recognized the Lexar Professional
UDMA 300x CompactFlash Card as a result of its support for the next-generation of high-resolution UDMA-enabled
digital cameras.
