SonyCfexpress Tough Memory Card

Had this for a few years in hot humid clients to below 0, works great in camera allowing the buffer to transfers data quick for burst shots, and with a good card reader for my computer allows me to transfer hundreds of images to my backups in no time. Would buy again if I ever needed to.

Great fast and reliable for my Canon R5

Used to be a big user of SanDisk and Lexar, but ever since SanDisk was bought out by Western Digital I switched to Lexar. But I wanted something that’s going to take a beating from the outdoor and travel environment. Sony G Tough cards have been amazing and not once have failed on me. I own both the SD card and the CFexpress Type B cards! Only other brand I would recommend if you have the budget is AngelBird!

Dependable card in my Canon R5. Has not failed.

I needed some serious storage for my Nikon Z7 which eats MBs for breakfast. I would constantly fill the 32 gb when out taking photos I wanted to do some timelapses and I knew that would not cut it. I bit the bullet on this because of the shipping. I was going on a trip in 3 days and needed fast deliver. This is horribly overpriced and not a good deal by any means. It was just a necessity. I really can't wait until the manufacturers start assigning logical prices for the consumers. Photography is already expensive as it is. It does what it's supposed to do and haven't had any issues. I did have to buy a new CFexpress card reader because the XQD readers will not register this card. Also, had to update the firmware on my camera so this card could be used. Overall, it works, but I'm pissed that they charge so damn much for these things.

I love this card! I was in an intense photoshoot day where I should many thousand images (Tet 2021!). This card allows the full speed of the Canon EOS R5. The buffering capacity of the R5 isn't that big (you'll notice if you use SD cards which quickly fill the buffer). However, the CFExpress Type B cards are so fast that the images write down so fast that you will never run out of buffer no matter how long you hold the shutter button. If you are copying images off the CFExpress card to your computer's SSD, it'll only take a couple minutes to dump all 128 GB of images and videos. And then that card is ready to go back in action! At first I thought I would have 1, maybe 2 CFExpress cards and then a bunch of fast SD cards. However, the CFExpress is so fast that it is a joy to keep shooting. if you are constantly running around having to cover a major event, the Sony card will be an amazing partner. Now, I gave the card a 3/5 score in value. And that's because on my Xbox Series X, it has a Seagate expansion card that is only slightly bigger but it's faster and much cheaper (1 TB is $220). I know. Different product category. However, the underlying technology is still the same (solid state drive).

Good working but too expensive

Use it in my Z6. Works great.
