Win! One of 10 Lexar Prize Packs Worth $287!
The world has changed. My first digital camera – a Cybershot P9 from Sony that shot 5MP stills and cost me $1,300 (right before the bottom fell out of the digital camera market) was state of the art for its time. Nowadays, both DSLRS and compacts are shooting HD video, 10MP stills and can chew through your memory faster than my old Cybershot chewed through its included 32MB memory stick. Fortunately, memory has also changed to adapt to the growing needs of the discerning photographer, with faster read and write speeds and higher capacities. And Giz AU has partnered with Lexar to offer readers the chance to win one of 10 high capacity storage prize packs.Each of the ten prize packs will include the following Lexar products:
· Lexar Platinum II CF 8GB
· Lexar Platinum II SDHC 8GB
· Lexar Dual-Slot USB card reader
· Lexar Mobile Memory Kit 2GB
· Lexar FireFly JumpDrive 16GB
Even if you’re shouldering the latest DSLR from Canon or Nikon, that should be enough to keep you going for a while.
To be in the running to win this awesome storage prize, all you need to do is tell us in the comments section below, in 25 words or less, “How can Lexar Media enhance your photographic experience?”
Entries close at 5pm on Friday, with winners announced next Monday, April 27. Full termas and conditions can be found here (pdf file). And you can check out Lexar’s website for more info on each of the products on offer. Good luck!

Because camera manufacturers aren’t doing it, invent a memory card with wi-fi so I don’t have to plug in to download.
Well downloading around 800 RAW files off my old CompactFlash card (66x speed I might add), I walk away to let it do its thing :P
No more deleting of all the tests shots of my big toe that I dearly need to hold on to!
I have always used SanDisk but there is nothing like free stuff to help one change allegiances!
Make my life easier by speeding up my photo uploading on my workstation for further photo editing.
@Peter:
uhhh, what about eye-fi?
that’s pretty close to what you want…

No more corrupted backup DVD’s and lost photos of holidays! I could take even MORE photos of my children without worrying about losing them!
Lexar can help our little girl put her amateur nature photos onto the Wii to educate/entertain her technophobe grandparents!
I just forked out for a new Canon 5D Mk2 the other week, I definitely need more memory because 21MP RAW files take up a crapload of space.
Whether I’m shooting a client’s wedding or casual pics of my kids, these moments can’t be repeated – I depend on Lexar for quality and reliability.
by giving me free stuff
As a poor photography student it would let me stop swapping between so many 1GB cards!
A high speed, low cost, card-reader is what we all need – so we don’t spend hours waiting for our snaps to download from our camera.
Having *any* flash media enhances your photographic experience when you don’t have any beforehand :(
Wow, this is four times the space i have now and would make stalking four times safer. I would only have to visit my hidden cameras every other day! Much less likely to go to prison with that.
The extra storage will come in great for some extracurricular activities.
@Peter McHardy : Good news, this already exists as a product called Eye-Fi.
Halfway through blowing out candles at child’s Birthday party and cake with photos/video and “out of memory space” ;(
Lexar can enhance my photographics experience by making faster cards with even greater capacity. The addition of a inexpensive Wi-Fi dock would make it even better!
less time out of photoshop, more time in photoshop :)
Online Photo Database. After a shot – it uploads it online through my iphone. So when I get home, its up on my screen already
I can use the memory sicks to prop up my 35mm camera that i bought for $5 at dimmys
I’m photographing a friends wedding in June. The CF/SDHC cards would save me carrying a laptop around with my 400D and friends 450D.
Lexar Media lets me capture amazing images of the world with the reliability and speed I require.
This pack would be awesome. For a weeks now I have struggled to fit my film roll in the little slot. Thanks Lexar!
