With a transfer rate that's 50% faster than the previous generation of SxS-1 cards, the 32GB SxS-1 Memory Card is an affordable, Flash-based media option designed for Sony's XDCAM EX line of camcorders, now including the PMW-500. Offering the same performance and reliability as more expensive SxS Pro cards, the SxS-1 has about one-tenth the lifespan (about 5 years with heavy use). These entry-level cards are ultra fast, durable, and can record up to 140 minutes of HD video. The higher transfer speed translates to improved XDCAM workflow and faster ingest times, making the G1A an ideal media solution, from shoot to edit. See SxS Memory Card / Hardware Compatibility Chart.

so far, only used this on a couple of shoots, but it works. I don't know why anyone would economize on media. OTOH, this isn't the top-of-the-line Sony memory card, and I wonder why there is a distinction. My understanding is that the card keeps a record of the number of times it's been used, and starts giving warnings to replace it, after a certain number of cycles.

It costs a little more, but you rarely have problems with Sony's SxS cards. Fast transfer and all the footage shot was there, can't ask for more.

Comments about Sony 32GB SxS-1 Memory Card:
I do not own a camera that accepts SXS cards, but I rent them quite often. Recently I did a broadcast shoot and dumped the footage to the clients drive. I confirmed with the client that I was deleting my back-up. A few days later their drive crashed and the footage was lost. If I had returned my rented camera with the rental SXS cards it would have been very bad.

There are cheaper options out there (SDHC cards with Expresscard adapters), but having reliable media is priceless. Also, transfer speeds are incredibly fast.

For the price I might recommend the new 64GB SxS-1 card but either way you go, these cards will not dissapoint! high storage capacity and up to a 9:1 import ratio will leave you wondering how you ever recorded to a tape in the first place.

This card will hold about 2 hours of HD. They aren't cheap, but haven't had any issues yet.
The actual SxS cards beat the adapter cards that allow you to use cheaper SDHC cards.

Works great in our Sony EX3Rs.
With the faster memory your import
time is cutdown, effectively shrinking
your lens to timeline workflow.
