SONY Cfexpress Tough Memory Card

Great fast and reliable for my Canon R5

Use it in my Z6. Works great.

This really is a great card and format Burst mode in older Canon cameras at least was limited due to a few reasons but memory card speed was one. It's a good sized card so little less likely to misplace than an SD card, is quick, and works well. Not cheap at the moment though.

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).

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.

Good working but too expensive

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 had another brand CFexpress card for the R5. And that thing did not work well at all... in fact it stops working pretty quickly. So I did some research and try the Sony Tough. Well, it does it was advertised. Fast as hell and no problem at all. Wish these cards aren't so expensive, but that's the going rate and it is what it is.

Not a single problem!

Ottimo prodotto

First Sony CF Express card I have ever purchased. Delighted with it (apart from the purchase cost !!) and used it in my Nikon Z7II camera and now, a Nikon Z8. I don't shoot video much so cannot really comment on the video write speeds but it is fast enough for me on continuous shooting and has performed well so far. I have nothing negative to say about it - hence a 5 star rating. Robust and well made and feels like it will last me a long time.

I bought this to use in my new Canon EOS R5 and so far it works great. I was reluctant to spend this amount on a memory card (I went with the 512GB version) but as usual, you get what you pay for. I spent a significant amount of time researching and comparing reviews of cfexpress cards from other manufacturers and the Sony Tough cards were consistently the top-rated option. For content, I only expect to use my R5 for photography, not for video - I know the R5 shoots 8K video as well as 4K at a number of different framerates, and I know most R5 owners are likely using it for both, if not strictly for video. So while my uses may be a bit different, so far this card has performed spectacularly in the R5. Before it arrived I was using a Lexar 1000x SD card and there was significant lag/buffering as I would scroll through the playback of images on the card. With the Sony Tough not only is there no lag between rapid image playback, but the high-speed continuous + shooting mode doesn't chug at all due to the card's super fast write speed. I shoot in full RAW + JPG(L) so each individual image taken is about 100MB. Being able to shoot these massive files in continuous mode with no buffering is amazing and that's exactly what this card is designed to do! It was difficult to justify spending this amount on just a memory card, but now that I've seen the difference first-hand, I have to say it was totally worth it and I would definitely recommend it.

Rien à redire sur cette carte mémoire. J'avais déjà confiance en Sony pour le stockage, et cette carte le confirme une fois de plus.Rapide et robuste, fonctionne à merveille avec mes hybrides Nikon (Z6ii et Z9).
