Capacity and speed are two very important factors to consider. Also, if it's truly 'old,' the I/O (Connector) will be different.
No, unless otherwise specified, they do not include adapters or a CFexpress card reader. And if they do, expect to pay an extra $30.
This answer is no longer correct as of today! The firmware for CFe has been updated!
Selected User Reviews For SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO CFexpress Card Type B - SDCFE-128G-GN4NN
On the Canon R5, it works great for recording 8K video.
Update: br>After purchasing a prograde cfexpress and a UHS-II, II card reader (do not purchase the SanDisk CFexpress reader; it is terrible). ), the card's speed is superior to that of most memory cards and non-memory cards. SSD with high performance. It allows you to quickly import images or videos.
- br>Now that XQD has become EXPENSIVE since mid-2019, investing in a CFExpress card for the Z6 or Z7 would be prudent. With the latest firmware 2. , the card works perfectly on my Z6. For RAW photos from the 2K5 Z6, it has about 119GB of free space. Because I don't have a CFExpress reader, I use a USB-based reader instead. For photo transfer, use a C cabel. Either way, it works fine. One thing to keep in mind is that the internal transferring speed of the Z6 and Z7 is SLOWER than that of the XQD. As a result, the CFExpress card has no effect on burst shooting performance. It only serves to keep you from investing in XQD that isn't worth your time.
For me, one of the most vexing aspects of the Z6II is the return to XQD cards. When I shot with a Nikon D4, I used them, but when I upgraded to the D750s, I was relieved to be rid of them. Unfortunately, with the new camera comes the return of these obnoxious devices. They're ridiculously expensive, but I'm glad there are now alternatives to the Sony version. br>br>Unfortunately, I've discovered that while these cards perform admirably on average wedding days, they've overheated twice for outdoor weddings in hot weather. I switched to the Sony card for my next hot outdoor wedding after recommendations from Facebook groups, and I didn't have the overheated card error any longer. br>br>So, it's fine for what it is, especially since it's a little less expensive than the Sony version, but keep in mind that these cards are prone to overheating in hot weather!.
This card will not read on any of the devices I own that use this type of card, so it has already been returned.
When the XQD cards first came out, I never tried them because they were more expensive than SDXC cards and their write speeds were only slightly faster than the fastest SDXC cards (300 Mb/second). I don't shoot 4K video, which is what these cards were made for, but I do a lot of macro work with a Nikon D850, and the majority of it involves focus stacking - combining multiple images with slightly different focus points to create a single image with incredible depth-of-field field. My buffer would fill up after about 20 shots with the SDXC cards that "only" write at 300 Mb/second, and I'd have to either wait for the buffer to clear or shoot much more slowly. Because we had to pause and wait for the buffer to catch up, there was a greater chance that the set would be ruined by the wind or that the light would change. br>br>I was intrigued when I saw these CFexpress cards advertised as having write speeds of 1200 Mb/s. I first tried one of these cards after installing the firmware update that enabled the D850 to recognize CFexpress. The camera buffer never fills up, which is a huge plus for me. I can literally keep shooting until the battery dies or the card is full. I can now shoot 100-image sequences. br>br>The only drawback I'm aware of is that when shooting continuously and copying images to a computer, these cards get extremely hot. And when I say hot, I don't mean warm. I hold the card by the edges and wave it around after ejecting it to speed up the cooling process. Time will tell if these cards can withstand multiple shooting cycles or if the heat generated will cause them to fail sooner. For the time being, these cards allow me to do the type of photography that I enjoy most, and I'll be interested in a card reader with a built-in fan or heat sink if I can find one.
br>Is it a good deal? I suppose it isn't cheap, but it makes me feel a little safer. But, let's be honest, it's a little pricey; buy on sale, not full price; if they can sell for less, you know they're already overpriced;.
Although this memory card claims to be faster than XOD memory, is it really necessary for your camera? It works fine in my high-end Nikon cameras, but it takes a long time to download images to my computer. Readers for XOD cards aren't compatible. As a result, I purchased a cross-compatible CFexpress reader, which did not work in either case. Finally, I purchased a CFexpress reader from ScanDisk, the memory card manufacturer, which will read the card, but it is VERY SLOW!.
It has never been read on the computer or by my Nikon z6 or z7 cameras. Now I have to return the item from Jamaica, which cost nearly $100 US dollars, via FedEx in exchange for a $190 US dollar card. smh I'm beginning to think this was a refurbished card from the start.
