New memory cards
AgfaPhoto extends its range of digital film
Ridgefield Park, N.J., June 15, 2005 AgfaPhoto, the independent company which has emerged from the Consumer Imaging division of the Agfa-Gevaert Group, today announced it is significantly expanding the range of its digital film offerings with new products in four popular formats: secure digital (SD) cards, high-capacity compact flash (CF) cards, xD digital media cards, and USB memory sticks.
Along with the memory card products, AgfaPhoto is also presenting a new packaging design in which the strong AgfaPhoto brand occupies a prominent position. The placing of product names inside the red sensor button of the AgfaPhoto logo ensures that they attract more attention.
In addition, consumers can easily find important product information such as the memory capacity, which is now clearly laid out on the packaging. Each type of card is signalled by its own color, helping consumers to find their way around the products on display. The new "Turbo" logo and a matching dynamic image also convey the capability that AgfaPhoto memory cards provide for high-speed data transfer.
AgfaPhoto's range of SD cards, the most popular type of memory card, now includes a 2 GB capacity product, in both normal and turbo speed versions.
The company's CF card family now includes a 4 GB capacity product. A completely new product in AgfaPhoto's line of memory cards is an xD card, which is available in 128, 256 and 512 MB capacities. Completing the rollout of AgfaPhoto's new digital photo media offerings is a new line of smaller USB memory sticks, available in 128, 256 or -- new -- 512 MB capacities.
These new AgfaPhoto products, as well as the company's digital film products already on the market, further AgfaPhoto's position of leadership in providing high-quality digital media for both photographic and non-photographic applications.
