Review on πŸ’ͺ Superior Performance and Endurance with SONY Cfexpress Tough Memory Card by Marcus Curry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great card that goes perfectly with the Canon EOS R5!

I love this card! I had a busy photo session day where I had to take many thousands of shots (Tet 2021!). This card delivers the full speed of the Canon EOS R5. The R5's buffering capacity isn't particularly large (you'll notice this when using SD cards, which fill up the buffer quickly). However, Type B CFExpress cards are so fast, recording images so fast, you'll never run out of buffer no matter how long you hold the shutter button. When copying pictures from a CFExpress card to your computer's SSD, it only takes a few minutes to back up all 128GB of pictures and videos. And then this card is ready to use again! At first I thought I had 1 maybe 2 CFExpress cards and then some fast SD cards. However, CFExpress is so fast that it is a pleasure to keep shooting. If you're constantly on the go to cover an important event, the Sony card is a great partner. I've now rated the card a 3/5. And that's because my Xbox Series X has a Seagate expansion card, which is only slightly larger but faster and a lot cheaper (1TB is $220). I know. Another product category. However, the underlying technology remains the same (solid state drive).
