Earlier this year, the SD Association announced the new UHS-I specification. Now, Panasonic has answered the call and rolled out its own 8GB and 16GB UHS-I SDHC memory cards.

As a refresher, the UHS-I label represents a higher-speed interface that provides a data transfer speed up to 104MB/s. In this case, the new Panasonic cards boast max transfer speeds of up to 60MB/s2 plus a Class 10 speed specification. Definitely ideal for HD or 3D video recording.

Introduced today at IFA 2010 in Berlin, the 8GB (RP-SDY08G) and 16GB (RP-SDY16G) SDHC cards will be available in November. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet.
