Like all of Panasonic's P2 solid-state memory cards, the E-Series cards are built with an aluminum diecast casing, providing exceptional durability compared to plastic-based memory cards.
E-Series P2 cards are reusable for up to five years when recorded on once daily, at full capacity (100%); when used at half capacity (50%), the cards will continue to record for up to 10 years. A notification is given (in the camcorder's LCD/viewfinder or the card reader's display) as the card approaches the end of its life cycle. Details of the card's life can also be displayed on a computer using P2 Formatter software, a free download available in the P2 Support section.
Re-usable P2 cards record the same way that digital still cameras record onto memory cards – they store the footage as pre-digitized computer files. Instead of recording the video as “video data,” they record the footage as computer data files. These files are instantly editable and can be transferred to other computer storage media directly, without the restrictions of needing proprietary video decks or having to wait for real-time transfers.
