Lexar responds to rumors: will continue making XQD memory cards

01 Nov

Almost 2 weeks ago, Nikon Rumors reported that B&H Photo had discontinued Lexar’s line of XQD cards. In light of Lexar’s recent acquisition by Chinese flash storage manufacturer Longsys, people assumed the worst—for once, they shouldn’t have.

Yesterday, Lexar responded directly to Nikon Rumors on Twitter, assuring the publication (and everyone else) that the it will continue producing XQD cards, which are currently used by some high-end Nikon DSLRs like the Nikon D5 and Nikon D850. Here’s the response in full:

Exactly what Lexar’s future looks like, we still can’t say. Longsys has been quiet except to say that “the innovative solutions and excellent support that they have experienced from Lexar will continue.” For now, that apparently extends to XQD cards.

It’s no surprise that not everyone is exactly thrilled by Adobe’s Lightroom announcement. The end of standalone Lightroom, and the birth of Lightroom in the cloud, has a lot of legacy users looking for a new way to organize their photos into a perpetual library they don’t have to ‘subscribe’ to. There are already tons of options out there, but if you’re a fan of Macphun’s editing applications, take heart: the software company has their own solution in the works.

Earlier today, we heard from Macphun that they’re working on their own Digital Asset Manager (DAM), which will work with both hard drives and cloud storage platforms.

“It’s going to be a perfect tool for organizing and managing images,” says Macphun. “Moreover, users will be able to run it along with LR library to compare both DAMs side by side and choose which fits them better.”

Here’s a quick video ‘preview’ (read: teaser):

The DAM will be added to Luminar in 2018, and the best part of it all is that it will be completely and totally free for current Luminar users.

For now, those are all of the details we have, but if you’re unhappy with the latest update to Lightroom and you’re looking for an alternative DAM and photo editor combo, check out the preview above and keep an eye on Macphun in 2018.

The UK Intellectual Property Office has issued a ‘myth-busting’ document about the effect on photographers of a newly-introduced law. The law includes new rules regulating the use of ‘orphan works’ – intellectual property whose copyright holder cannot be identified. This has led to concern that the changes will allow UK companies to use copyright material from anywhere in the world without the approval of the copyright holder.
