Came here for some general info on my new CF Express TA 160gb SD that came in yesterday. This video is 2 years old but the card still cost me $368 bucks off eBay, so that goes to show how much price power these cards have. The real reason I'm commenting at all is simply to say I VERY MUCH appreciate how you enunciate everything very well, your videos are concise and clear, direct, no unnecessary and annoying frills or flashy editing, and most importantly of all, NO MUSIC droning on and on endlessly in the background of the entire video. THANK YOU.
Hello, thanks for the explanation. Very good, a question. If I'm buying a sony uhs ii v60 SD card for a ZV-E10, should I buy the sony reader or the apple one? Is there much difference in downloading photos and videos in 4k?
Basically selling low end 500gb nvme drives for 700$ that are typically sold for 50$ in general pc stores..and yes those cheap nvmes can take most of the 4k prores bit rates continuously without any problem , be sure to check the cache and nand type. Avoid qlc . Even if u spend on top quality nvme drives like Samsung 970evo plus it's still better than cfexpresss card..
am tryna keep the temperature down (use a dummy battery, etc) is it true the cfexpress cards significantly increase how hot the cpu gets vs the v90 sd cards?
2:52 I had to rewind a couple times to make sure I heard that right. 700MB/s is absolutely insane. I didn’t even know cards that fast existed until now.
I know this is a year old but I was wondering if you know why the Sony CFEXPRESS Type A card is so slow in uploading XAVC S4K 30fps 10 Bit 4:2:2 footage to my computer? It took over an hour to upload a 5 minute video to my Intel i9-9980hk pc, I got 64GB Of RAM in it and 4TB Samsung 970 plus NVMe. This is my first time using this with the same card reader you have. I am however using the USB Type A cable with it which my PC has USB 3.1 I do have 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports but one is being used for my Monitor and the other one to run my keyboard, mouse, microphone etc so the ports are being used. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new here with the A7IV and I can't "Know my gear" if no one is willing to show me how to use it lol
How about stills, will the A cards be faster say for sports/birding in the 10 fps and clearing the buffer, what about the A1 and 30fps? Also say for Astro Milky Way when doing shots for stacking in Interval Shoot Func. will the faster speed make for faster write clearing the buffer faster allowing for less wait to start next shot in the series of say 10 images. And last for doing time lapses will it enable faster write time? Just curious may not need....
It is so indifferent if you buy or not lol. I would of course want to buy it because I love maxed out filming, but I need more mani. Is it better not to have card at all or save for this in a month time? Because I am in this situation - I have lens and camera, but no card
I like this video and I think it is valuable. It’s just funny that you decided to make this video about memory cards when you have your hands on the hottest new camera out there. I’m looking forward to more stuff!
Cfexpress and XQD looks like a game catridge! By the way, is memory card all the same and just different shape for usage reason, they all just a memory chip inside right?
Hi, I have a question can I use the cards in the same way, let's say there is a v90 card in slot 1 and a type-a card in slot 2, I program the 1,2,3 wheel so that 24.60 Fps is written on v90 S-I and 120fps on typa-a in slot number 2? I don't have a typa-a card to check it yet...
Could you do a comparison between the performance of the sd card and the cfexpress type A card for 4k120 or HD240fps? I only have SD cards and the camera constantly crashes or needs to recover data, do the cfexpress type A ever run into this issue? And if so how common is it?
Yes, but you would have to buy something like an Atomos ninja V for 599 , in addition to an ssd hard drive. If you shoot long videos, that is the better option.
Hello bro. i have 80 Gb Type A & Sony Type A Memory Card Reader. If i buy Lexar 128gb V60 card. than can lexar v60 card can work in Sony Type A Memory Card Reader or should i buy lexar card reader ?
thanks for sharing the information, i am just thinking the high bit rate in si mode will consume your 160g in several minutes , this Video is 9:59 minutes , will you shoot in si 4K ?600mb/s ? 160g is not enough .....
most popular used CFexpress Type B, only Sony make CFexpress Type A, Type A is more slow than Type, B. it doesn't make sense Sony make Type A. I think Sony doing it purpose for own business
I'm truly disappointed that Sony chose the CF Type A cards, and that decision might come back to bite them like the Beta/VHS format wars of ye' olden days. Panasonic went for their own proprietary P2 cards and faced the same criticisms. They swore up and down that 3rd party cards would bring prices down, but that never materialized. Recording to external drive via USB-C would be a nice alternative, and the tech is probably easier to implement than adding multiple format card slots. But that is a discussion for another time.
@@lekkerpruven887 Still have my Minidisc.It did well because of the utter lack of competition for portable digital music players that were compact. It also had recording capabilities, which made it popular with bootleg concert recordings. But with media cards, you want to go with the herd, in most cases. Proprietary formats are a bane for consumers and a gamble for producers. Witness the quick disappearance of the PonoPlayer and high-res audio. Same will be the fate of Kanye's stem player.

Wonderful, informative, direct. Well done! Better be safe than sorry, going for CFexpress Type A 160GB.
Just got an A7S III and researching everything needed and this video was extremely helpful!! Thank you!
The whole information doesn't really related to my needs but it good to learn. Thanks for the insight!
Thank you verry much for helping me make the final decission on buying the expensive cfexpress type a card. You are absolutely right about that!
Is the USB-C that connects to the reader the same size that connects to a mac???
@@maxcordes7933 USB-C is USB-C... There are no other sizes
Thank you for testing the cable directly. The CFA direct at around 250mbs is actually fast enough for me. Saves space not bringing a reader
If the computer can read the card with the camera connected to it, then what's the point of spending silly money on an card reader?
thank you for explaining and showing the reader speed insight. you helped me to make decision purchasing sony card and the reader
Is the USB-C that connects to the reader the same size that connects to a mac???
awesome video. super informative. thank you so much.
Lexar should be sued for false advertising! No where near 300mb/s. Thank you for sharing your findings. Totally helped me with my purchasing decision.

We are still waiting on the a7RIV, the a7IV was worth the wait.

7:08 do you have a separate video on explaining difference between different XAVC?
My mac is not reading MRW-G2 reader. I have the 2021 M1 Pro 1tb. It's not showing up on the disk utility or desktop. How can I fix this?
Thanks for explaining
The Mac doesn't have a card slot?
am tryna keep the temperature down (use a dummy battery, etc)
is it true the cfexpress cards significantly increase how hot the cpu gets vs the v90 sd cards?
2:52

Ohh wate to you find out about sony cinema asxm cards and how fast and expensive they are 😂
He can tell me everythinggggg except how long I can record with that SD card

thanks for the info, great video. By the way what strap are you using?
Can we simply connect the camera to computer on usb C and simply copy without buying the card reader
Yes, but it's much slower as he demonstrated in this video.
Thanks! Now that FX6 is coming on the scene.. It would be great to see you do the CFexpress Type A card with that since it's a must... right??
so if it runs slow is it my card or card reader?
How about stills, will the A cards be faster say for sports/birding in the 10 fps and clearing the buffer, what about the A1 and 30fps?

Thanks! Thought I'd take a different approach since I hadn't seen many videos covering the new cards.
I actually want this video more than the others right now.

Cfexpress and XQD looks like a game catridge!
By the way, is memory card all the same and just different shape for usage reason, they all just a memory chip inside right?

Whats the difference between the A card and the B Card?
I bet the limit the usbc speed of the camera so that you are forced to buy that expensive card reader.
Please make a video about that background
Can Sony A7 S3 use CFExpress Type B instead of type A?
Could you do a comparison between the performance of the sd card and the cfexpress type A card for 4k120 or HD240fps? I only have SD cards and the camera constantly crashes or needs to recover data, do the cfexpress type A ever run into this issue? And if so how common is it?
What is the buffer in photos?
Will a tough v90 card work in it also?
Awesome Thx.
If need such strong bit rate (more than 500mb) , external recorder with ssd isn’t the better and cheaper option ?
Yes, but you would have to buy something like an Atomos ninja V for 599 , in addition to an ssd hard drive. If you shoot long videos, that is the better option.
@Gap but you also have to factor in the cost of the ninja v, batteries, cables, etc. also, you can shoot 4k120 on an sd card.
@Gap sure. If you need raw. But if you don’t, it’s just more of a hassle.
Hello bro. i have 80 Gb Type A & Sony Type A Memory Card Reader. If i buy Lexar 128gb V60 card. than can lexar v60 card can work in Sony Type A Memory Card Reader or should i buy lexar card reader ?
I just got mine and didn't realize this was a new type of card. Is the only card reader available the Sony one for 160 dollars ?
Is there a 3rd party alt yet
thanks for sharing the information, i am just thinking the high bit rate in si mode will consume your 160g in several minutes , this Video is 9:59 minutes , will you shoot in si 4K ?600mb/s ? 160g is not enough .....
Don't forget about the 8 bits to a byte math. 600 Mb/s is 75MB/s. So to fill up 160 Gigabytes you'd get like 35 minutes. Still not a lot.
most popular used CFexpress Type B, only Sony make CFexpress Type A, Type A is more slow than Type, B. it doesn't make sense Sony make Type A. I think Sony doing it purpose for own business
Do they have that in a micro SD version? Lol
USB Type A card is a robbing mechanism.
I'm truly disappointed that Sony chose the CF Type A cards, and that decision might come back to bite them like the Beta/VHS format wars of ye' olden days. Panasonic went for their own proprietary P2 cards and faced the same criticisms. They swore up and down that 3rd party cards would bring prices down, but that never materialized. Recording to external drive via USB-C would be a nice alternative, and the tech is probably easier to implement than adding multiple format card slots. But that is a discussion for another time.
Going with type A while all the others go type B is a @#€ move. Al designed to maximize profits. No consumer advantage at all.
@@lekkerpruven887 agreed. It reminds me of the old Betamax/VHS wars. Sony lost that one, and they're losing this one.
@@OrenArieli minidisk, remember that one? They still made a lot of money on it, soi guess that's truly the end goals here too.

Can you just hold up your camera to eye level? It is really annoying to watch like this
It's totally annoying...
I’m calling B&H -nobody answers questions to post here- why bother asking.
Those Fony cameras are not cheap. Canon makes real cameras.
