Sony 160GB TOUGH CFexpress Type A Flash Memory Card - VPG400 High Speed G Series with Video Performance Guarantee (Read 800MB/s and Write 700MB/s) – CEA-G160T

Product Information

The Sony MRW-G1 and ProGrade Thunderbolt Reader are popular XQD card readers that work with CFexpress Type B cards. This test compares the amount of random noise generated by the camera at different ISO settings as a proportion of the actual image information (the 'signal'). Most cameras with XQD slots can also use some Type B cards, but naturally you’ll be limited to the lower speed of that format’s interface. The A7R V now has animal/bird head and body recognition, not just eye detection, and perhaps most important of all, it can now recognize human subjects by their shapes, limbs and poses, not just from faces and eyes. It might lead with that magic ‘8K’ headline, but the A7R V does not look by any means a video specialist.

What is CFexpress? The new camera memory card format

While CFexpress Type A is also coming into its own, only Sony is using the format in its mirrorless cameras and at the time of publication, only three companies are producing that card format. Angelbird is extremely nitpicky about which cards are designed for which cameras which could mean that it does have some kind of special tuning to work with cameras better than with computer software.The cheapest SD card or Micro SD card on the shelf might only be 16GB in size and cost a few dollars. The CFA says in future CFexpress data transfer speeds will increase further with the roll-out of PFCe 4. versions, but your camera will perform at its best and your workflow once you’re back at your desk will be far faster — just make sure you pick up a card reader that can actually handle the bandwidth requirements. What's more, with Delkin being a premium brand for enthusiasts, its CFexpress cards are backed by a lifetime warranty and a stunning 48-hour card replacement service in the US and Europe – impressive stuff, and valuable peace of mind for working pro shooters.

The fact that some of the upper limits of these cards are not even fully known yet shows that the industry is continuing to gear up for future improvements. We also look forward to testing the continuous shooting buffer capacity when we get a review sample. Nikon issued a firmware update for its original Z series cameras to make them compatible with CFexpress cards. Current cinema cameras like the RED Raptor can shoot 8k RAW video at up to 120fps onto CFexpress Type B cards, so it’s going to take a further leap in camera technology to create a future need for Type C cards. The EOS R5 does similarly well at lower sensitivities, but can't match the other cameras at ISO 800 and beyond.This ensures that your content is captured seamlessly, with no dropped frames, even when shooting at high frame rates or in burst mode. The video in 8K is also hamstrung by being cropped, while this isn't an issue if you have access to especially wide-angle lenses, it was a challenge to shoot certain subjects in my testing with the 50mm lens I had chosen to walk around with that day that I would not have faced without the crop factor. It’s up to you when it makes sense budget-wise to upgrade, however we can safely say that CFexpress is a format worth getting to know for the future of image-making.

The human AI is very good at picking up human shapes in the frame, even people in the middle distance with their backs to you. If we ever see Type C cards make it onto the market, I do not doubt that they will first be used by high-end cinema cameras looking to shoot 8k or 12K video at high-speed frame rates far above 60fps.

Integral CFexpress cards are among the cheapest around, but make no ruggedisation claims, and only appear to cite burst speed figures. If you’ve been following the latest mirrorless camera releases, like the Canon EOS R5 and the Sony A7S III, then you’ve probably heard about CFexpress. The introduction of an SD card slot is good news from anyone upgrading from a Nikon DSLR that accepts the same media.
