Major 25% Lexar price increase coming on June 1st

Par : PR admin
10 mai 2026 à 18:44


After LaCie, OWC, and ProGrade, Lexar is rumored to be the next manufacturer to have a major 25% price increase on memory cards on June 1.

B&H Photo is currently running a sale on select memory cards and SSDs.

Memory card and storage prices (including SD/microSD, CFexpress, and SSDs) are rising sharply in 2026 primarily due to an AI-driven surge in NAND flash demand that has outstripped supply. Hyperscale data centers and AI infrastructure are consuming massive volumes of NAND for high-performance enterprise storage and related components. This has caused NAND wafer and contract prices to jump dramatically (e.g., 70-75% quarter-over-quarter in Q2 2026 projections, with some reports of 100%+ increases earlier in the year), pushing costs downstream to brands like Lexar, LaCie, OWC, and ProGrade:

LaCie just increased prices in the US by around 9-12%

OWC announced a memory card price increase, while B&H is running a sale on Lexar memory cards

ProGrade memory cards price increase coming on May 1st, others will follow

Topaz May update is now available with a new 50% off flash sale

9 mai 2026 à 22:46


The Topaz May update is now available with a new SDR-to-HDR video upscale model, expanded access to recently released models on both desktop (Gigapixel) and web (Topaz Image Web), and a new streamlined experience for using video enhancement models in Adobe Premiere. This is the first time the latest image models, like Wonder 3 and Denoise Max, are available in a web browser via an all-new web app. Topaz also started a new sale (details at the bottom of this post).

Here are the details:

New Models in Topaz Gigapixel: Wonder 2, Wonder 3, High Fidelity 3

Recently released models, now available in Gigapixel.

Three of our newest and most popular models are now fully integrated into Topaz Gigapixel:

Wonder 2

Wonder 2 is our newest image enhancement model that denoises, sharpens, and upscales in a single step, with no sliders or tuning required. It is a giant, powerful model that now runs locally thanks to our proprietary NeuroStream technology, which dramatically reduces VRAM usage and allows powerful AI to run on standard creator hardware.

Wonder 3

Wonder 3 is a powerful, one-click sharpen, upscale, and denoise model. Unlike Wonder 2—which was built for ultra-low-resolution upscaling—Wonder 3 handles both high-quality inputs and heavily degraded images with consistent results.

High Fidelity 3

Built for technical precision. Optimized for clean, noise-free upscaling of high-fidelity images where accuracy matters most—especially for RAW files.


New App: Topaz Image for Web

All your favorite Topaz image models, now in the browser.

Bring the power of Topaz image enhancement directly to your browser—no download required. Upload your images, choose from workflows like Autopilot, Creative Upscale, Photo Restoration, Sharpen, and more, then process everything in just a few clicks. Batch processing and side-by-side comparison make it easy to review your results, and all of your favorite Topaz image models are available in one place for the same high-quality enhancements you know from our desktop apps.

Premiere Panel v1 – Cloud Rendering UXP Panel

Topaz Video, now inside Premiere.

Topaz Labs for Premiere brings Topaz Video enhancement directly into your Premiere workflow. Process footage using cloud rendering without ever leaving your timeline—no export/import round trips needed.


Hyperion 2 – SDR to HDR Model

Unlock HDR depth from SDR footage.

Hyperion 2 converts standard dynamic range video (SDR) to high dynamic range (HDR) by expanding luminance, bit depth, and contrast. It supports both PQ (cinematic/mastering) and HLG (broadcast) transfer functions, so it fits into a wide range of modern HDR pipelines. Hyperion 2 is now available in Topaz Video, and will be coming to Astra next week.

New DJI Osmo Pocket 4P camera teaser and additional information

Par : PR admin
9 mai 2026 à 01:33




Today, DJI lifted the press embargo for the upcoming Osmo Pocket 4P camera (previously reported here). The new teaser reveals the previously reported camera/lens configuration:

Here is what we know so far about the upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 4P camera:

  • The faceplate on the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P can be removed, as on their drones.
  • Dual-lens design officially teased by DJI: The Pocket 4P features a vertically stacked dual-camera system (a first for the Pocket series) with a 1-inch main wide-angle sensor paired with a dedicated 3x optical telephoto lens (telephoto uses a ~1/1.5-inch CMOS sensor, roughly 60-70mm equivalent).
  • Zoom capabilities: 3x optical + 6x lossless (via in-sensor crop) + up to 12x digital zoom. Early review samples highlight natural face rendering and impressive background blur at telephoto settings.
  • Video specs: 4K/240fps slow-motion (matching or building on the standard Pocket 4), possible 6K support, 10-bit D-Log (or D-Log 2), HDR, and Hasselblad-style color tuning. Dynamic range is expected at ~14 stops on the main sensor.
  • Storage and build upgrades: 128GB built-in storage (vs. 107GB on the standard Pocket 4), more flexible/rotatable flip-out touchscreen, and enhanced ergonomics with a textured grip.
  • Stabilization and tracking: 3-axis mechanical gimbal + improved ActiveTrack 7.0 (works reliably at 3x/6x zoom). Some early hands-on notes mention slightly more micro-vibrations at telephoto and a top-heavy feel.
  • Other features: Better low-light performance, 4-channel audio hints in some leaks, and creator-focused tools. It’s positioned as a premium vlogging/pro option above the standard Pocket 4.
  • Trade-offs noted in leaks: Heavier and bulkier than the single-lens Pocket 4, potentially shorter battery life, and higher gimbal motor demands at zoom.
  • Pricing: Expected ~$699–$749
  • Many new preview videos were published on bilibili today
  • Here is the first unboxing video:

  • Build Quality: Full-metal construction with a substantial, premium feel and notable weight when handheld.

LaCie just increased prices in the US by around 9-12%

A few days ago, I purchased two external LaCie hard drives from B&H Photo for a project. I received the hard drives today and realized I need a third drive. I went back to the B&H website, and I was surprised to notice that prices have gone up significantly since I placed my order just a few days ago:

LaCie 4TB Rugged SSD Pro5 Thunderbolt 5 External SSD price from a few days ago:


LaCie 4TB Rugged SSD Pro5 Thunderbolt 5 External SSD price now (from $1,429 to $1,599, or around 12% up):


LaCie 5TB Rugged USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive price from a few days ago:


LaCie 5TB Rugged USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive price now (from $219.99 to $239.99, or around 9% up):

If you are planning to buy any kind of memory storage, I strongly suggest you do it asap before the next price increase kicks in. Amazon is pretty much out of stock on many popular storage devices, but I noticed that B&H Photo still has many in stock.

ProGrade and OWC already announced price increases – all other brands will follow soon:

ProGrade memory cards price increase coming on May 1st, others will follow

OWC announced a memory card price increase, while B&H is running a sale on Lexar memory cards

After ProGrade, OWC also announced a new price increase on memory cards is coming on May 11 (check availability at B&H Photo and Amazon).

At the same time, B&H Photo started a big Lexar memory card sale today (check out this Lexar flash deal as well).

Memory prices are rising sharply due to a global shortage of NAND flash – the key material used in memory cards, SSDs, and similar storage devices. AI data centers are demanding huge amounts of specialized high-speed memory, so major chipmakers like Samsung and SK Hynix have shifted production away from regular consumer flash. This has driven costs up dramatically across the industry and is the main reason companies like ProGrade Digital are increasing prices on memory cards starting May 1st. I am sure other brands will follow.
