So here it is, the first ever Class 10 SDXC card in 128GB capacity. Lexar Media announced the new card today as part of its Professional SDXC series, along with a 64GB model with the same 133X speed rating.

"The professional photography industry is at a point where digital photo- and video-capture methods are converging, meaning that professional shooters need a memory solution with the versatility and reliability to safely store both photos and videos," said Pachi Chen-Wong, senior product marketing manager, Lexar Media. "The 64GB and 128GB Lexar Professional 133x SDXC cards combine high-speed performance with large capacities to offer solutions for professionals who shoot large volumes of high-resolution images and HD video."

Lexar says both cards will have no trouble working with any SDXC-enabled devices. They also include the latest version of Lexar's Image Rescue software in case you're a little quick on the draw when it comes to deleting photos and videos.

The cards don't come cheap -- both the 64GB and 128GB models will be available in the first quarter of this year with MSRPs set at $400 and $700, respectively.
