German term or phrase: leistungsfähig
Sie besitzt das derzeit größte Fassungsvermögen und ist gegenüber ihren kleinen Schwestern um einiges leistungsstärker.

I'd usually translate leistungsfähig as "high-performance", but it pops up a lot here, and seems to have a somewhat more specific meaning - any suggestions for a specifically computer (or in this case, digital camera storage card) related word?

I am confused - did you want \'leistungsfähig\' or \'leistungsstärker\', Kurt? I am not sure now.

power-packed


Explanation:
This is not really the correct translation of the word "leistungsfaehig", but the word conveys the same meaning in this context, viz. "in contrast to its little sisters more power-paacked" (with output as performance naturally!)
