Panasonic introduced lower-cost P2 E-Series cards at NAB 2009.
The manufacturer specified transfer rates up to 1.2 Gbit/s, with a shorter service life than A-Series cards. Panasonic estimated five years when the complete card was written daily and ten years at 50% usage. An end-of-life warning appeared in the camera viewfinder. Longer-life A-Series cards remained available.
A 16 GB E-Series card was scheduled for May at approximately €300, with a 32 GB version at €450. A 64 GB card was scheduled for August at €720.
