A1<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1547009-REG\/canon_eos_r5_mirrorless_digital.html\/BI\/22163\/KBID\/28708\/SID\/htg780304\/DFF\/d50\">Canon R5<\/a> come on the market, shooters need a memory card that can keep up. Your standard SD card is going to have trouble processing 60-megapixel RAW photos at 20 frames per second, or 8K video.<\/p>\n<p>CFexpress cards aim to solve that problem, boasting write speeds of over 1,000 MB\/s. Shooting with one of these cards means several seconds\u2014and hundreds of frames\u2014of uninterrupted burst photo shooting. And even when your camera\u2019s buffer fills, it clears in a fraction of the lengthy wait times of the past.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing a CFexpress memory card for photography, the most important factor will be the kind of shooting you do. If you shoot wildlife, you\u2019ll need a card that can keep up with sudden high-speed bursts of action. If you\u2019re a heavy video shooter, you\u2019ll need one that can keep up with the demand of video recording files over extended periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>CFexpress cards come in three types: A, B, and C.\u00a0 Currently, only A and B are available to buy, and both are expensive. They\u2019re mostly used in mirrorless cameras, but a few top-tier pro DSLRs like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usa.canon.com%2Finternet%2Fportal%2Fus%2Fhome%2Fproducts%2Fdetails%2Fcameras%2Feos-dslr-and-mirrorless-cameras%2Fdslr%2Feos-1d-x-mark-iii&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Canon 1DX MKIII<\/a> use them, too. Future firmware updates will also make cameras using <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nikonusa.com\/en\/learn-and-explore\/a\/products-and-innovation\/what-is-xqd-and-why-should-i-use-it.html\">XQD cards<\/a> compatible with the CFexpress format.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re using type A or B, higher-capacity CFexpress cards appear to perform better. Since these cards are already expensive, we\u2019d recommend investing a little extra for something around 300-500 GB to start for better performance.<\/p>\n<p>Another very important thing to note\u2014the speed listed on the package won\u2019t be what you\u2019re getting all the time. That speed is the maximum read\/write speed claimed by the manufacturer, and actual consistent read\/write speeds will be different.<\/p>\n<p>These cards can get hot from very heavy use, and that can also throttle the write speed down to somewhere around 300 MB\/s. That said, average users and even most professional shooters won\u2019t tax these cards to the point that they heat up, and they cool down pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Since this format is still relatively new, there are some bugs yet to be worked out and some cameras might not support certain cards. Canon\u2019s R5, for example, will accept ProGrade Cobalt cards and Sony Tough cards <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fdownloads.canon.com%2Fnw%2Fcamera%2Fproducts%2Feos%2Fproduct-1%2Fpdfs%2FPDP-CHARTS_Card_Performance.pdf&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">but not ProGrade\u2019s Gold line<\/a>. When choosing a CFexpress card, be sure it\u2019ll work with your camera.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve covered some of the basics, we\u2019ll look at some of the best CFexpress cards on the market right now.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"accordion_block\">\n<div class=\"\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\nCan all cameras use CFexpress cards?<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\nWhat\u2019s the difference between CFexpress types A and B?<\/p>\n<p>+<\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion_body \" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\nAside from differing in size (type A CFexpress cards are physically smaller than type B), the main difference between the two types is the number of PCIe lanes available in each. Type A CFexpress cards offer one lane whereas type B offers two. This translates to different data transfer speeds; type A caps out at 1000MB\/s, and type B has a maximum speed of 2,000MB\/s (though it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll reach these top speeds in practice).\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\nCan a CFexpress reader read XQD cards?<\/p>\n<p>+<\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion_body \" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\nType B CFexpress cards use the same physical format as XQD cards. This means you should be able to use the two interchangeably as long as your camera\u2019s firmware supports both types.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\nAre CFexpress cards and XQD cards the same thing?<\/p>\n<p>+<\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion_body \" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div class=\"\" itemprop=\"text\">Not quite. They\u2019re similar, but CFexpress cards allow higher read\/write speeds than XQD cards. While XQD cards top out at under 500MB\/s, you can easily find <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lexar-Professional-CFexpress-Type-B-Memory\/dp\/B08H57G2NJ?tag=lsmedia-3445-20\">CFexpress cards that reach 1750MB\/s<\/a> (and even higher).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\nWhat\u2019s the difference between a CFexpress card and an SD card?<\/p>\n<p>+<\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion_body \" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<div class=\"\" itemprop=\"text\">SD cards offer significantly slower read\/write speeds than CFexpress cards. A quick Amazon search will reveal that most SD cards fall under 200\/MBs, whereas their CFexpress siblings achieve speeds above 1500MB\/s. If you\u2019re shooting home photos and videos, you likely only need an SD card. However, if you\u2019re shooting 8K video, you\u2019ll want a storage system that can keep up with that amount of data (CFexpress cards). CFexpress type A cards are also different from SD cards in the physical sense\u2014the former are noticeably smaller (20 x 28mm) than the latter (32 x 44mm).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/adorama.rfvk.net\/c\/156932\/1172861\/1036?subId1=htg&amp;subId2=780304&amp;sharedid=&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fpgrf650gcpna.html&amp;subId3=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=ir\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-785597 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/p-badge\/785597\/953ee86faab05582f01240675c051d8e.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"ProGrade Cobalt card on yellow background\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" data-credittext=\"ProGrade\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">ProGrade<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<div class=\"procon_list\">\n<div>\nPros<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Rugged and durable design<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> High read\/write speeds during real-world use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nCons<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> High price point<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> Lower capacity type B cards might not be as fast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/adorama.rfvk.net\/c\/156932\/1172861\/1036?subId1=htg&amp;subId2=780304&amp;sharedid=&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fpgrf650gcpna.html&amp;subId3=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=ir\">ProGrade Digital\u2019s Cobalt line<\/a> is designed very sturdy and performs with the best of them.
