SONY Cfexpress 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.

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!

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).

Excelente, resistente, muy confiable y veloz. La he usado por meses con mi Canon R5 y sigue funcionando perfectamente en diversas condiciones

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 bought the CF Express card to use with my Nikon D850 after a firmware upgrade that allowed its use. I've been using it here in there as a replacement for an XQD card. No issues with image transfer; in fact quite fast for large image transfer (no video use for me so far). My travels tend to take me to national parks and forests where I hike with that SLR camera. Will report if there's any issues with the hundreds of images that I tend to capture in the course of a day.

This is a fast card format. Transferring pictures off the card often happens before the progress indicator even appears. It's a fair bit more expensive than SD, though, but also a fair bit faster.

This is a blazing fast card and it fits just fine with Nikon Z6. I was little concerned about reading that Z6 works better with XQD cards. I have not had any issues with the card. I bought it Like New condition and save almost $35 as compare to the brand New version. I could not even tell if the card was not brand new. It's well built and I hope it lasts a long time.

Von den Elben, und mit Hilfe des dunklen Herrschers, in den Schmieden Eregions, aus feinstem Edelmetall geschmiedet und von einem Hobbit über die Berge des Nebelgebirge getragen, ist er nun hier "MEIN SCHATZ" 😉 Das ist natürlich völliger Quatsch und Herr der Ringe Fans mögen mir meine ausschweifung verzeihen, aber angesichts des Preises welchen Sony für dieses Konglomerat aus Plastik und Metall haben will, könnte man schon denken das es sich dabei um einen echten Schatz handelt 🙄 Klar, Made in Japan will bezahlt werden und ja die Technologie ist noch relativ jung, aber ganz im ernst, tut das den not das für so eine 128GB Karte letztes Jahr noch fast 300€ aufgerufen wurden? Nun ist es aber so wie es ist und ich habe für meine neue Kamera eine XQD, bzw. CFexpress Typ B Karte benötigt und da sich die Preise eh kaum unterscheiden und das XQD Format früher oder später vom Markt verschwinden wird, habe ich eine 128GB CFexpress (CEB-G128) von Sony genommen. Angeblich ist diese mit meiner Nikon Z6 am besten kompatibel und ja, das ganze rockt wirklich, da brauche ich auch keinen Speedtest am Computer zu machen um das zu merken. Eine derartige Performance hat keine SD Card auch nur annähernd. Das ist mir als Fotograf zwar eigentlich egal da ich so gut wie nie hunderte von RAW in Serie schieße, aber alle die 4K, oder gar 8K Videos erstellen, denen wird das wahrscheinlich gerade recht sein. ➡️ Fazit: In meinen Augen absolut überteuerte aber momentan eben auch absolut alternativlos. Daher bleibt nur, Augen zu und durch. Die Performance ist Wahnsinn und fairerweise muss man anmerken dass das System sich scheinbar zum Standard moderner Kameras entwickelt und damit als zukunftssicher zu betrachten ist, tröstet das zumindest etwas über den Preis hinweg 😬 ➡️ Anmerkung: Es wird zum auslesen der XQD/CFexpress Karte am PC, ein entsprechender Card Reader benötigt. Ich habe mich auch da, für ein Modell von Sony entschieden und kann diesen Cardreader auf Grund der Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit sehr empfehlen. Sony MRW-G1

Looking for reliable and for extreme conditions plus built like a tank , look no further other than this Sony CF-Express B card . It’s very expensive but worth every cents . The speed of uploading and reading is super duper fast if you are the type that love to burst your photography and on video is as good as those Latest CF-Express A card ( from Lexar) with 2 times higher rating in writing and reading speed . Highly recommended without to worry so much about getting crash or hang .

Ottima scheda, la capacità è sufficiente per una giornata di lavoro anche con la Z6 che ha un solo slot. Naturalmente compatibile 100% e velocità che eccede la capacità della mia fotocamera.

To be honest, the only two reasons I bought the card is due to the branding of the TOUGH series and the pricing of the card. Much cheaper here than anywhere else. Albeit that the card might not have any warranty and it is rather pricey. It is still a worth it purchase.

Testé avec un canon r5 : fonctionne très bien.
